Productive weekend :
All's well that ends well
After a long day of
disappointments, stress, and countless things to do, the beautiful
sunset silhouetting palm trees against a sky cascading shades of
oranges, pinks, and yellows will make everything seem okay. All is well
that ends well, and every day will be well because every day will end
with a beautiful sunset.
Future Awaits
At our
pivotal stage in life, we see the many choices leading to many possible
outcomes, such as making a left, right, or U-turn. However, even looking down the straightest path, the future
still seems bleak. Maybe that's the excitement of life, not knowing
what adventure awaits down each road taken.
Two Halves
Encircling
koi represent good luck, but koi themselves represent courage as legend
has it they journey against the current in perseverance to arrive at
their destination. They say the white lotus represents purity because it's above the murky waters, as if above the rest of the physical word, and closer to the spiritual world. These
koi form somewhat of a Yin and Yang, signifying the balance which must
be kept- the two halves which make a whole, and in this case, of luck, of courage, and of purity.

The End is Near
Everything that's happened this year, everything that's been weighing us
down will soon detach itself and fall to the ground. The end of
this year draws nigh, a new year will begin, a fresh start, a clean
slate, a new beginning. We'll be the same tree, just different foliage. I can NOT wait.
Wisdumb
Step into the dimension where all your worries can subside, because in
this dimension, up is down, growth is from nowhere, and logicality is
irrelevant. What was once regarded as wise discernment, is now no more.
Laws of gravity and predictability are cast aside and whatever is, can be accepted, just as is.

I once had these dreams, so delicate, so clear,
and so valuable. I protected these dreams with such integrity and
diligence. But one day, my fragile dreams met concrete reality.
Everything I hoped for, strived for, lived for was now shattered into
so many pieces, too sharp to be picked up again, and too broken to ever
be repaired.-April 2005 -
I've been feeling a little . . .
However . . .
I must keep my chin up . . .
because:
Optimism
is such an innocence and such a great strength. When people betray,
when invested trust fails, when life beans you with a curve ball,
optimism gives you the will to move on- to pick yourself up and take
your free walk to first base. Look upon your adversities and
adversaries forgivingly, don't ever let go of your optimism! Life's
bound to thrash you with its share of disappointments and tribulation,
but don't let these things rape your innocence from you! "Being
disappointed is one thing and being discouraged is something else." It's
all about mindset and it's all about willpower. "1 percent is what
happens to you, and 99 percent is how you react to it." To start
thinking negatively is to take a step off the hiking trail and onto the
steep, slippery side, which is easier to just slide further down
than it is to climb back up. So beware of friends, music, and other
influences which try to push you off this path of optimism and down the
ravine of despair. -written April 14, 2004
