~Words from some hanging scrolls

*For those days when we are feeling sorry for ourselves..

Optimism by Ella Whealer Wilcox

Talk happiness. The world is sad enough
Without your woes. No path is wholly rough;
Look for the places that are smooth and clear,
And speak of those, to rest the weary ear
Of Earth, so hurt by one continuous strain
Of human discontent and grief and pain.

Talk faith. The world is better off without
Your uttered ignorance and morbid doubt.
If you have faith in God, or man, or self,
Say so. If not, push back upon the shelf
Of silence all your thoughts, till faith shall come;
No one will grieve because your lips are dumb.

Talk health. The deary, never-changing tale
Of mortal maladies is worn and stale.
You cannot charm, or interest, or please
By harping on that minor chord, disease.
Say you are well, or all is well with you,
And God shall hear your words and make them true.

Happiness is...

writing a love letter
being kind
keeping a promise
taking time to listen
seeking out a forgotten friend
sharing some treasure
doing a random act of kindness
ending a quarrel
finding the time
thankfulness
laughing a little
speaking your love
knowing God's love
dreaming good dreams
laughing a lot
making someone happy

Things to Always Remember by Collin McCarty

Your presence is a present to the world
Your life can be just what you want it to be
Take the days just one at a time
You're unique and one of a kind
Count y our blessings not your troubles
Within you are so many answers
Understand, have courage, be strong
You'll make through whatever comes along
So many dreams are waiting to be realised
Decisions are too important to leave to chance
Don't put limits on yourself
Nothing wastes more energy than worrying
Do ordinary things in an extraordinary way
The longer one carries a problem the heavier it gets
Live a life of serenity not regrets
Don't take things too seriously
Have health, hope and happiness
Remember that a little love goes a long way
Remember that a lot goes forever
Remember that friendship is a wise investment
Life's treasures are people together
Realise that it's never too late
Take two to wish upon a star
Reach for your peak, your goal, your prize

The Magic of Love

Love is not judgmental,
Love is lending a hand to anyone in need

Love is not painful,
Love is knowing the sacrifices are well worth it

Love is not biased,
Love is recognising someone's pain
and comforting them

Love is not difficult,
Love is opening your heart to those who want to give

Love is not selfish,
Love is putting another's heart above your own

Love is not blind,
ILove is being able to look in the mirror
and know you are someone special

Love is not complex,
Love is a sincere smile

Love is not distant,
Love is a heartfelt hug

Love is the one true gift we have to share with
everyone, anywhere, in an unlimited supply

And today,
I wanted you to know how much I love you!
