I WISH YOU ENOUGH

If you ever hear someone say "I wish you enough" now you'll know what they mean. See poem below:

I WISH YOU ENOUGH

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how grey the day may appear.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.

I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.

Seasons

People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.When someone is in your life for a REASON . . . It is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be.Then, without any wrong doing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered. And now it is time to move on.

When people come into your life for a SEASON . . .Because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn.They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Reflections of Jan 1, 2014

As the 1st day of 2014 comes to a close I can't help but reflect on the day. I spent most of my day hosting my family, "smelling my roses." I prepared a large meal and we sat and talked and shared stories. Now......there were other things that I wanted to do and planned; but at the end of the day I wouldn't change a thing. You see, I realized long ago that you can't get time back so what you decide to do with the time you've been given is important. All the other things on my to do list even those I felt were important will just have to wait. I am LovingLife100%.  I look forward to the wonderful life adventures the year 2014 will bring.
