A Friend ~ A Poem by Edgar Albert Guest

A Friend

Edgar Albert Guest

A friend is one who stands to share
Your every touch of grief and care.
He comes by chance, but stays by choice;
Your praises he is quick to voice.

No grievous fault or passing whim
Can make an enemy of him.
And though your need be great or small,
His strength is yours throughout it all.

No matter where your path may turn
Your welfare is his chief concern.
No matter what your dream may be
He prays your triumph soon to see.

There is no wish your tongue can tell
But what it is your friend’s as well.
The life of him who has a friend
Is double-guarded to the end.

Today’s Positive Thought ~ It’s Always Our Choice

by

“If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars.” Rabindranath Tagore

Where do you want to live? That’s a question we need ourselves each day. We can live in self created space of pity and angst. We can choose to live in a world where we see goodness, possibilities, and believe that life is good and getting better. It’s our choice. I hope your choice is filled to overflowing with love, beauty, happiness, and joy.

Today’s Power Thought ~ Small Steps Yield Big Results

by

What is one thing you could do right now, today, to live a healthier life? One of the big mistake made when trying to live a healthier life is to try to do it all at once. That’s a heavy load to carry. You know yourself better than anyone. Choose one thing that contributes to a healthier life style and stay with it for a couple weeks. It will give you confidence to take on another thing. C’mon, you can do it.

Today’s Inspiration ~ It’s Time to Decide

by

“Not to decide is to decide. Letting something go until it ‘decides itself’ is Life by Default. You don’t want to live that way. So choose. Choose right now. Stop worrying about what you can ‘lose’ or how you can ‘win’ and just follow your joy. Where does your joy say you should go?”

~ Neale Donald Walsch

What If . . .

by

What if you lost what you treasure most, what would you do? When we face a great loss, we may wonder if we have the strength to go on. We have no choice but to get up and walk into the unknown trying to make sense of what happened and where we are going. It’s not easy. It takes courage. It takes a deep abiding faith that if one keeps walking everything will work out. Keep on walking, head held high. Keep on walking.

What If . . .

by

What if I could start over, what would I do? I’ve given this some thought. I think about some of the things I didn’t like; then I realize without those things I wouldn’t be me. I like me. I like the road I’ve traveled. It’s my road paid for with bumps, bruises, and scars. I like where I am and where I’m headed. If I had a choice to start over, I’d let it pass me by. How about you?
