Life as we take it.

I have been reading a lot lately, again and I come across so many seeds of wisdom that is just too good to not share it with others.

I hope we are all embarking on a good, joyful, fruitful and most of all peaceful year for all of us.

A friend of mine sent me this and it is so good to help us in every aspect of our lives.

"Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is life, fight for it."

~ Mother Teresa

Life is a dynamic of good and bad. When there is light it is sometimes followed by darkness. Storms do come to make us stronger and then appreciate the soothing feeling we have when it is finally over. Life is too short therefore we should take everything in stride and strive to be happy.

After all, life for humans are way too short. At least for me. But in reality, even trees have a record to prove they stay here on earth much longer than us. So enjoy.

Oh we can all feel that way sometimes Leony. That good feeling of a champion. Quite frankly I am not here to preach, just enjoy my short time here on earth. And where else is a good portion to get that adrenaline than here. And you do bring a lot of laughter on here, I can tell you that much..

Leo

I was wondering about the 300 myself.

Oh hello there Pedal. I can't think of anything that is relative to 300 hundreds but I suppose whatever that means, can't be that bad, I hope.

But I hope you had a good passing of the old year to the New Pedal.

I am happy to hear that Pedal. Life is not forever with us and I realize more than anything else, those things that do make us gray sometimes are the very good parts of life that make us learn.

You do sound more like a mellow now Pedal, don't be too mellow, though because I do want you to be who you are, or this place is way tooooo boring..

Wowser!

I've been reading a lot too.

About 3 months ago I started in with the Dan Brown books. That got me interested in Symbols so I have read some of those. Then I got interested in the origins of the symbols and from which groups so now I'm into the groups.

I have also read a couple of fun books too along the way! I'm reading, in addition to the books I have been reading, stuff like "Lake Wobegon Days" and some other like that! I have also felt like sharing but I think i'll read a few more to get a good subject going.

Howdie there Ed, I am happy you are into reading stuff. They are very interesting and sometimes just make us get by with life so fast.

Do read Ed and do share them with us.

Take care Ed.

Wasn't there a place called Sparta with 2 kings and 300 men willing to die? Or was the number wrong? So long ago I scarcely remember details of the battle..

Yes, I watched that Ken. 300 the movie that showed how the Spartans, though outnumbered by the enemy, killed a lot of them?

Hi my friend Lindsy,

Hope all is not just well with you, but GREAT and WONDERFUL!

Yes, I've been reading some lately too. Admirable classics such as Chicken Soup books, Goosebumps books, the newspaper sports pages and of course, the all so untruthful grocery store tabloid magazines. Because Enquiring minds like to make up stuff.

Just kidding.

Have a fun day!
