Thoughts and Tales…A Lifestyle Blog with a Zing.
hold each day
like a tiny precious dew-drop of water,
gathered on the tip of a petal,
admire her round shape,
for once she rolls into the dust
its gone and indeed lost.
…
hold each day
by its precious graceful moments,
savour each hour,
never let it go sour,
for once you let moments escape
time lost can’t be caught in videotape

I am teaching my mind to cease from focusing on the things that I can’t do, or the limitations that stand in my way of doing them. I just keep showing up to do what needs to be done.
Soul Gifts: This is so true Jacquie. Oft’ times the biggest blessings and learning come from the greatest challenges 🙂

Once I saw Ronovans’ prompt, woke & up, I chuckled. Getting out of bed these days has been a struggle ‘cos I’ve been sleeping unusually late. The first haiku depicts this ‘bedmatics struggle’ and the second haiku has political connotations.
The shrilling alarm woke me
but it was hard to get up,
my pillow held me down.
If we don’t stay ‘woke,’
and rise up to change the paradigm
we all risk losing everything.

Though the truth might hurt, always speak your truth from a place of honesty, understanding, empathy, compassion and knowledge.
I prefer the bitter truth any day than sugar-coated lies.
I am convinced that the lines will fall in pleasant places for me.
Innumerable times I fall into a mental state of despair over how things are not happening the way that I planned them. It seems like a dance of three steps forward and ten steps back and I keep wondering if the steps will ever align and if things will roll as I wish, then I catch little glimmers of hope – little blessings that tell me that I’m on the right path even when it doesn’t look like it.
In such times I take deep breaths and the time to appreciate how far I’ve come, knowing that so long as I walk with God, I will surely reach my destination.

All these are on my travel wish list except Dubai – since I live here. A girl can always hope for great things 😉
I am relentless and prepared to go the extra miles needed to achieve my goals.
If achieving our dreams came easy, we all would be on cloud nine. For every dream and ambition that we have, it takes unwavering focus, consistent effort and staunch faith to hang in there even when it seems as if we are swimming upstream. The important thing is not to give up. Keep pushing until something happens.

Let’s Pay It Forward and Share Your Fave Post of This Week.
The baristas at Go Dog Go Cafe are big fans of Pay It Forward Thursdays. We think it is a great opportunity to give a shout-out to another writer who has wowed us or creatively inspired us. However, Pay It Forward Thursday has not been getting a lot of love lately, which we think is a shame. Dear reader, you are losing out on some great writing! We’ve decided to shake things up a little and the baristas will be reblogging our Pay It Forward picks for the week directly onto GDG Cafe so you don’t miss out on our favorites.
We like this idea so much that we will also reblog the posts you think were the best thing you read this week if you drop a link below. You are invited to post one link to one specific post (600 words or less please!) from someone…

I am thankful for what is and letting what could have been rest where it lies.
Learning to let go of all the ‘oh I should have,’ and the ‘ what could have happened if so and so,’ is a mind-bending task. Dwelling on the possible outcomes of past incidents if certain actions were taken instead, is a pure waste of precious time and energy. It has happened and can’t be reversed. The thing about regret is that it’s a state of mind and you choose it.
Eugenia “It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of DarknessDancingPalmTrees: I found a great link from the Daily Word on how we think about ourselves. I’ve been trying to change my negative self talk for years. So far no success as negative expression feelings and emotions have made a home in my soul and spirit. This constant negative chatter in my head has caused me to devalue myself and slowly retreat. I’ve become more withdrawn. As my personal demons are deeply rooted and entrenched.
However I still wish to help others.
