Poem of the Day ~ Ask Me Why I Love You

Ask Me Why I Love You

Walter Everette Hawkins

Ask me why I love you, dear, 
    And I will ask the rose 
Why it loves the dews of Spring 
     At the Winter’s close; 
Why the blossoms’ nectared sweets 
     Loved by questing bee,—
I will gladly answer you, 
     If they answer me. 

Ask me why I love you, dear, 
    And I will ask the flower
Why it loves the Summer sun, 
    Or the Summer shower; 
I will ask the lover’s heart
     Why it loves the moon, 
Or the star-besprinkled skies
     In a night in June. 

Ask me why I love you, dear, 
    I will ask the vine 
Why its tendrils trustingly 
    Round the oak entwine; 
Why you love the mignonette
    Better than the rue,—
If you will but answer me, 
    I will answer you. 

Ask me why I love you, dear, 
    Let the lark reply, 
Why his heart is full of song
   When the twilight’s nigh; 
Why the lover heaves a sigh
    When her heart is true; 
If you will but answer me,
    I will answer you.

Positive Thought of the Day ~ Nothing Can Stop You

by

“Don’t give up. Don’t lose hope. Don’t sell out.” Christopher Reeve

We all get knocked down. Getting knocked down comes as part of the price for living. When it happens, rise again and again. Shake it off and begin again. Let everyone know you don’t quit, you don’t give up. Let them know nothing can stop you. It’s the truth.

Write About Your Feelings

Ever heard someone say, ‘If you’re angry at someone, write them a letter and don’t send it’? While that might seem like a waste of time, science reveals recording your feelings is great for clarifying your thoughts, solving problems more efficiently, relieving stress, and more. A team of pyschologists recently hit on a neurological reason behind why this simple act might help us overcome some emotional distress.

The researchers studied brain scans of volunteers who recorded an emotional experience for 20 minutes a day for 4 sessions. They then compared the brain scans with volunteers who wrote down a neutral experience for the same amount of time. The brain scans of the first group showed neural activity in a part of the brain responsible for dampening strong emotional feelings, suggesting that the act of recording their experience calmed them. This same neural activity was absent in the volunteers who recorded a neutral experience.

Positive Thought of the Day ~ Give It Your Best

by

“I do the very best I know how – the very best I can; and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.” Abraham Lincoln

When we give our best it may not turn out the way we want it to turn out; it will, however, turn our for the best. Don’t doubt, don’t look back, give the present moment your best and do it again for each of the following moments and your life will be filled with purpose.

Inspiring Quote of the Day ~ It’s All in Our Attitude

“Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.”

~ Khalil Gibran

Poem of the Day ~ The Last Word

by

The Last Word

Mark Van Doren

You looked inside
For what the perishable flesh might hide; 
And now you say that inner part
Will represent her in my heart. 

I tell you no.
Philosopher, I say I loved her so
I did not dig within—content
When seasons came, when seasons went.

When she would frown,
You think I set the meaning of it down?
The meaning goes; but something stays
I shall have with me all my days—

Her forehead bare
One instant, then blown over by her hair; 
A sudden turn; her hand at rest
Upon a window toward the west. . . .

When someone trust us, they believe we’ll act in their best interests. They believe they are safe when they are with us. They know they can count on us. It is a great honor to be trusted.
