Love....? Diverse yet similar

The other day I saw “27 dresses” which had this dialogue:-“Love is patient, love is kind, love means slowly losing your mind!”…..& it got me thinking….

 They say, love is blind, and I agree, love is blind and dumb! like a philosopher once said, "it is impossible to love and be wise at the same time"

 A philosopher once defined the difference between life and love," life is just one fool thing after another, love is just two fool things after each other"
Einstein once said, "Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love" He had even worked out a relationship between love and relativity, he said," put your hand on a hot stove for a min and it seems like an hour, sit with a pretty girl for an hour and it seems like a minute, that' relativity!"

Being in love is like being in a state of anaesthesia in an O.T, you speak nonsense and you make funny gestures which no one understands but everyone is amused.

The famous actor Woody Allen has described love in a way which is quite difficult to comprehend and understand, obviously enough, he said it when he was apparently in love.

 He said, " to love is to suffer, to avoid suffering, one must not love, but then one suffers from not loving, therefore to love is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy, therefore to be unhappy, one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness" these are Woody Allen's words which only a person in love can understand, so if you think you understood his words, then guess what, you are already suffering from love!

Love is, in fact, a proof that experience is of no use because the end of one love does not prevent us from beginning another and so some of us have the tendency of falling in love again and again and making a mockery of themselves. they say, "love is like fire" sure it is like fire, but whether it is going to warm our heart or burn your house down, you can never tell.
Now we have another kind of love...one which is an umbrella...enveloping everything & therefore it touches the spiritual realm

The actual quote is from the bible... 

"Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things". 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Both are very diverse & yet so similar.....in the fact that each requires you to be present in that moment...heart, mind & soul  & that too selflessly.

Troubled Teens

Much has been written about the period of adolescence. This is a time when an child begins to question the value systems of his family and society and strives to form his own opinions. It is a time of great confusion and upheaval because he has thrown away the old values and has not completely formed the new ones. Parents often become shaken when they see their teenage son on daughter begin to question the values that he or she grew up with. Parents should not worry. In fact they can feel relieved that their child is beginning to become his or her own person.

Relationships between parents and children are complex. When we are young we take for granted everything that is done for us. We don't appreciate what our parents do, rather we expect it. When we reach adolescence, not only do we not appreciate our parents' role, rather we are in open rebellion with them and everything they stand for. It is only as adults, when we realize the extent of the complex choices that our parents made, that we begin to feel gratitude to our parents.

A teens struggle for independence.

They Don't Understand

I'm confused about life,it seems like no one understands me
especially my parents,they try to run my life & me
they don't understand,my life's my own to run
they can't run it,it  has no fun

it seems we live in different worlds , & different times,

Don’t they know the more they try to control ,rebellion climbs Parents think they get us...but they don't have a clue,
They don’t know all the things peer pressure can do,
They don't know about all the rumors and lies,
They don't know about how our hope slowly dies,
Parents don't understand our thoughts and dreams,
All they see are our bad thoughts and endless schemes,
Take the time to get to know and love me,
Cause I look up to you... I do what I see,

What will it take for you to see
I'm just trying to be 18, chill out, and be me
Now I'm at that age of feelings and raging hormones
how can I be comfortable & have fun if you don't trust me or make me a clone
So, right now just for you…I'm willing to do whatever I need to do
Let's start off right ,you trust me again & don’t sue
Erase everything let's start off clean

Gain the love.respect & happiness we can glean

A Parents feelings

It seems like only yesterday,with a teardrop in my eye
That you were born into this world ,with a whimper and a cry
The days flew by and turned to weeks,& then years
And every time you learn something new,I get the same ol’ tears
I guess its cause you're growing up,but to me it's just too fast
I guess it's just that I'm afraid,your innocence won’t last
But as the years go stumbling by,one thing will remain true
You'll always be my baby girl,no matter what you do.

Self Motivation.

Stop and ask yourself today, “How do I really feel about myself?”

Before you answer read these ten principles.Better yet, keep them before you daily.

(1) Never think or speak negatively about yourself; that puts you in disagreement with God.
(2) Meditate on your God-given strengths and learn to encourage yourself, for much of the time       nobody else will.
(3) Don’t compare yourself to anybody else. You’re unique, one of a kind, an original.So don’t      settle for being a copy.
(4) Focus on your potential, not your limitations.Remember,God lives in you!
(5) Find what you like to do, do well, and strive to do it with excellence.
(6) Have the courage to be different. Be a God pleaser,not a people pleaser.
(7) Learn to handle criticism. Let it develop you instead of discourage you.
(8) Determine your own worth instead of letting others do it for you.They’ll short-change you!
(9) Keep your shortcomings in perspective - you’re still a work of art, in progress.
(10) Focus daily on your greatest source of confidence - the God Who lives in you !

Too Little Time

Too little time to make amends,for things that I have done.
Too little time to do the things,I've left unsaid, undone.
I always meant to tell my family,I felt that they were great!
Procrastination causes delay,until it is too late.
So now I try at every chance,when someone comes my way,
To beam a smile and say hello,it might just make his day.
With every effort that I make,I know at least I've tried.
Just helping people wear a smile,makes me feel warm inside

Things I’m Thankful for

I do not seek the grandiose, wealth nor glare of fame.
& when I'm gone, the odds are great, that few will know my name.
Though greatness I will not attain, I'll do the best I can
With just the skills that God gave me, for I'm a simple woman.

 I'm thankful for the mixture both, of happiness and pain,
Which lets me best appreciate, such goals that I attain.
I'm thankful for important things, that rate high in my life.
I'm thankful for my children, a loving, faithful husband and a stress-free life.

I thank God for the power of love, that makes the whole of our beings,
Eliminates the blight of hate--a threat to healthy souls.
I'm thankful that I still can hear, the songbird's throaty trill.  
& colour change in autumn's leaves, each year gives me a thrill.


So I give thanks each day to God, for blessings from His hand.
I'm part of God's great Master Plan, even I, a simple woman.

Fear of Rejection

Why do we bare our souls, on the internet
To strange people, that we've never met
But to the other people, that we know
Our true feelings, we don't always show
I'm not a shrink, but it's plain to me
Why we open up, to people we can't see
Fear of rejection, from loved ones is always hard to take
But someone we don't know, it doesn’t a difference make.

Mothers Day Blessings to my 3 daughters

 
You're a beautiful person,so loving and giving
When you are wronged,you're quick at forgiving
You make me happy,by just being near
All I want in my life,is to tell you you’re dear

When God made you,he broke the mold
You mean more to me,than all the world's gold
Your quick witted humor,always makes me laugh
And you do nice things,on my behalf
I know for sure,you're one of a kind
Another like you,would be hard to find
