New Year List

by Anonymous

Health
Drink plenty of water.
Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper.
Eat more food that grows on trees and plants, and eat less food that is manufactured
in plants.
Live with 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy.
Make time to pray.
Play more games.
Read more books than you did last year.
Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
Sleep for seven hours per night.
Take 10 to 30 minutes walk daily. And while you walk smile.

Personality
Don't compare your life to that of others. You have no idea what their journey is all about
Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy on the positive present moment.
Don't over do keep your limits.
Don't take yourself so seriously; no one else does.
Don't waste your precious energy on gossip
Dream more while you are awake
Envy is a waste of time. You already have what you need.
forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with his/her past that will ruin your present happiness.
Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum, they appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons your learn will last a lifetime.
Smile and laugh more.
You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

Society
Call your fmaily often.
Give something good to others every day.
Forgive everyone for everything.
Spend time with people over the age of 70 and those under the age of six.
Try to make at least three people smile each day.
What other people think of you is none of your business.
Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

Life
Do the right thing
Get rid of anything that isn't useful beautiful or joyful.
God heals everything.
However good or bad situation is, it will change.
No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
The best is yet to come.
When you wake up in the morning thank God for it.
Your innermost is always happy so be happy

The Gift


The Gift

One of the gift that I received last Christmas was the pillow am holding in the picture, with lettering Nobody Nobody But You from the song Nobody But You. It was given to me by my niece who took time to buy it when she felt depressed in school, so I treasure the gift and appreciate what she has given to me.

My nephew looking at the fireworks. He is enjoying the sight even if
he is a little bit afraid of it. This little boy is three years old and he speaks in English. Just like his big brother he likes chocolates and
play station. One time when his mom who is my sister scolded him,
he answered his mom "Why are you always angry at me, Mom?" and then my sister just laughed at his son.

On the eve of Christmas the church was filled with people. We tried to attend the mass scheduled at 9:00 but we arrived a little bit late squeezing our way to the altar. We have been standing for more than an hour and the kids who were with us are playing while hearing the mass. Finally the mass was finished, when we went outside the little boy slipped from the hands of her mom, until we were already outside the church we cannot find the boy. How fast he disappeared from our sight. My sisters and I went back to the church to find the boy but we can't find him and besides the church was filled with human beings, it's not easy to find the little boy. The mother of the boy was already worried and almost in tears. While I was waiting at the car I got a call from my other sister that the boy has already gone home. The call erased our fears and worries. We went home and the boy was already there waiting for us, there is fear in his eyes but trying to conceal it with his strength. The mother scolded the boy and he asked for forgiveness for what he has done.
The scene is familiar, it's like when Jesus got lost in the temple but He was listening to the scribes, while the other boy went home on his own. The boy has learned his lesson he will never ever leave his mother and he will not be impatient but will wait for his companion.

The Other Side

The Other Side

as i read mother teresa's dark side of life everyone has its own dark side.
its not necessarily the bad side of the person but it is when he feels empty and lost. it's really difficult to follow Christ and carry His cross. nobody is perfect we have our own weaknesses. temptation cannot be avoided. we are like gold tested on fire to become a precious stone. we have to undergo trials and test to attain our goal. we just have to hold on to Him in prayer to be strengthen by his grace and love. i have experienced also dark sides in my life, several times but i never gave up on Him. no matter how hurt i am and angry i still end up with You. i know in my heart that You love me so much, a love than i can't fathom. i'm sorry i have not loved you that much, i always hurt your feelings even if I love you. my love isn't always enough, so many conditions are in it. Your love is constant, doesn't change, your love is unconditional tested by time. You are the light that shines in my life. you are my life.
you are my true joy. you have called me by my name and am special to You. your hug is enough for me. you always manifest your love to me in beautiful things that surround me, be it human and all other living things. you are my guiding light. you are my hope when in despair. you are always there to defend me. you never left me in those trying times in my life. you like it when i'm closer to you, that's why you give something that makes me remind that you are always there.
