Today brings what it must

The dawn brings a clear sky,

Light shining through the darkness,

Promises of a bright and beautiful day.

Life as we know it

It's been a while since I sat down and blogged.  I can think of a lot of different reasons as to why I didn't sit down and pen a few lines, the list goes on.  Looking within, I realise the reason I could not write was because there was so much turmoil within myself that it it was too emotional to actually write coherently.

The Path

The path is long and winding,
Stretching ahead of you with no end in sight.

You sometimes walk, sometimes run, and maybe even skip at times
Depending on what you experience on the path.

The best things in life are free

To love someone,
Enjoying the sunshine,
Watching the starry sky,
Bonding with your pet,
Being happy with who you are,
Doing a random act of kindness,
Helping others when they are down and assisting them to get back on their feet,
Making a smile brighten another being's day,
Sitting quietly and observing nature,
Walking in nature,
Being still and listening to your angels,
Being in communion with the Divine through everything you do.

A true friend

The world has become one large city and we have friends from all over the world.  Social networking sites have taken the concept of friendship to a new level, there are people with thousands of friends on their friend list and there are those who have just a few friends.

The feminine - balance and harmony

It's Sunday morning, I've been up for more than two hours, and just got a chance to sit down now.  I even had my coffee standing up!!  Not wanting to go into detail and boring everyone; the morning chores, sending my husband off for his cricket having made a hot breakfast and a packed lunch, looking after our pets needs, I finally get to sit down for a little while.

Being happy is not a sin

To be happy is in your nature
It is a state of being and not doing.

We get falsely led to believe that we do not deserve to be happy,
Or maybe that it is not for us,
And when we do feel happy we start feeling guilty because of it.

Do away with and banish such thoughts for they are not true,
You are a being meant to be in a state of happiness, joy, contentment.

The temporary situations that lead us to experience the opposite of these emotions
Are only temporary as they should be
Helping us to realise what it is to be in a state of happiness.

Be in a state of happiness in whatever you experience
Even in pain and disruption be happy that you have the chance to understand, appreciate and know what the state of being happy is.

Have a blessed day

Because we are worthy

Who decides who is worthy and who is not?
Are some of us better or worse than another being?

The way out of sadness

Sadness comes to all of us at sometime or the other
Ignoring it, wont make it go away.
Accepting it and making it your own does not help.

The only way to move out of sadness
Is to acknowledge the reason for the sadness
See if you can change the situation to convert it into a joyful one
And if you can't then accept the situation for what it is
And let go of the emotions that you are attaching with the situation
By saying this does not serve me anymore
And willingly walk the path out of sadness

Laugh as much as you can, it's a sure way to make you feel better
And there will always be something to laugh about.

Have a blessed day
In Love and Light

Beauty - its what you feel that matters

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - such a well known phrase.  But what does it really mean?

I think the most common interpretation of this is when we refer to seeing beauty in another person, and sometimes we can't see why someone sees beauty in another and the only way the 3rd person can explain it is by saying this phrase.

Rest awhile and start again

Feeling tired and weary
The pressures and burdens of life weighing heavy on your shoulders
There is too much to do and you are being pulled in different directions.

Sit down with the angels,
Rest while you take comfort and regain your strength with the loving beings,
Unburden your worries and anxieties,
Share your problems and step back from the midst of all that you are facing.

Resting awhile before you get up and carry on
You will see that you are stronger than before
And you will be able to go much further,
The path is easier.

There is always help and a comforting shoulder to lean on,
You are never alone, you can never be,
The first step is to reach out to share and you will find the person you are looking for,
Waiting in the shadows, waiting patiently for you to step forward.

A problem shared is a problem halved,
And you will move on with greater strength.

Have a blessed day
In Love and Light

Defeat - failure or temporary set back

How do you look at defeat?

Do you take it as a failure and give up or a temporary set back where you take time to recuperate and come back fighting?

We cannot succeed in everything we do, there will be times in our lives when we face defeat in something.  It is part of our life, it is how we react and come out of it that matters more than the actual event that defeated us.

If we say that we are giving up, that it is too difficult for us to try again, then we are accepting failure which is an end in itself.  We are accepting that we are not capable of something and this may be even before we have started on something.  It may be that when we hit the first stumbling block, we think that it's too much for us to handle.  The other extreme is that we keep trying again and again and still find that we do not succeed.  In this case are we being too stubborn and are not allowing ourselves to see that this may not be the path for us?

If we can keep ourselves open to looking at things in a different light, from a different perspective, we can then find a way out of the defeat by shifting our thought process to see things differently and we will be able to come back fighting to make a success or change direction so that we can go on the right path to success.

I believe the key is in being open to accepting that what we see as the right path may not necessarily be true.  The destination may be the same, but we may have to change directions to get there.  And by doing this we are not accepting defeat as a failure, but as a temporary set back from where we can keep going till we reach our final destination.

For if we never try, we will never know where we can reach.

Resolve old issues

It is always easier to push things under the carpet, bury it in denial, or just ignore it hoping the problem will go away.  It may do for a while, but it will always come back till it is resolved.
