The Sky ..

Light At The End Of A Tunnel

"Believe in your dreams. Believe in today. Believe that you are loved.

Believe that you make a difference. Believe we can build a better world.

Believe when others might not. Believe there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

Believe that you might be that light for someone else.

Believe that the best is yet to be. Believe in each other.

Believe in yourself.

I believe in you."

~ Kobi Yamada

New Day ..

"Each day is a special gift from God,

and while life may not always be fair,

you must never allow the pains, hurdles,

and handicaps of the moments to poison

your attitude and plans for yourself and your future.

You can never win when you wear the ugly cloak of self-pity,

and the sour sound of whining will certainly frighten away any opportunity for success.

Never again. There is a better way."

~ Og Mandino

Light ..

Shine within so you can shine on someone else."

Crossroads ..

"You are now at a crossroads.

This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make.

Forget your past.

Who you are now? Who have you decided you really are now?

Don't think about who you have been.

Who are you now? Who have you decided to become?

Make this decision consciously.

Make it carefully.

Make it powerfully".

~ Anthony Robbins

Ferris Wheel of Life ..

We're going to ride the ferris wheel of life

And when it gets to the top,

We'll review each of the blessings we've received.

They never seem to stop!

Round and round we go

Never stopping, never wondering,

Our life's struggle has it's beginning

It will always have it's ending.

Along our way we've found laughter,

Love and happiness, freely given by

Earth angels we call 'friends'

From them we find courage to ride

Life's ferris wheel time and again.

We have our ups and down

And fears for the future in our early rise

Our aching knees we take in strides

We have a God that heals and provides

For this we trust in faith and give thanks.

As long as there's beauty in the sunrise,

The sound of laughter at a sweet surprise

A child reaching for our hands to hold 

The ride of life's ferris wheel, we'll savor

Just knowing the blessings of God's favor,

Our hearts will be happy and we'll never grow old!

~ Meggie Gultiano

Sunset ..

"Know what you want to do, hold the thought firmly,
