To Lighten the Mood
Posted: 17 Oct 2010, 04:09
Rainy Days
The warmth of the sun often drenches my soul,
It makes me feel happy about all life has to offer.
Just like when everything is going great and we have no worries,
These days cannot and should not last forever, for without the rain,
How will the earth's beautiful green carpet flourish
And how will we learn to appreciate the sunny days?
On those rainy days simply find comfort in knowing
That the sun will shine again.
Know that your faith must be tested,
And when it all comes down to it...
Rain makes everything and everyone in some way grow.

YESTERDAY, TODAY, TOMORROW
There are two days in every week about which we should not worry.
Two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
One of these days is yesterday with its mistakes and cares,
Its faults and blunders, Its aches and pains.
Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday.
We cannot undo a single act we performed.
We cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone.
The other day we should not worry about is tomorrow.
With its possible adversities, Its burdens,
Its large promise and poor performance.
Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.
Tomorrow's Sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds,
but it will rise.
Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.
This just leaves only one day . . . Today.
Any person can fight the battles of just one day.
It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternity's -
yesterday and tomorrow that we break down.
It is not the experience of today that drives people mad.
It is the remorse or bitterness for something which happened yesterday
and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.
Let us therefore live but one day at a time.

More to come.
