Feeling Good Tip for Today ~ “Darkness Cannot Shut Me In Again.”

by

Helen Keller at age 19 months developed an illness that left her deaf and blind. Here’s what she said in her autobiography: “Once I knew the depth where no hope was, and darkness lay on the face of all things. Then love came and set my soul free. Once I knew only darkness and stillness. Now I know hope and joy. . . .  I learned to live, to think, to hope. Darkness cannot shut me in again.”

Note: Don’t let darkness shut you out. Don’t let the darkness strip you of hope and joy. Open your heart to love. Never quit. Never stop trying.

Poem for Today ~ I Must Go Down to the Sea

I Must Go Down to the Sea

John Mansfield

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face and a grey dawn breaking.

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

Poem of Life

Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what’s to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay…

Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey’s quicker,
For some the journey’s slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We’ll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the lord

Feel Good Tip for Today ~ Smile, Step Out & Step Up

by

Life’s not always easy. No one is immune from the tough times. It’s the only life we have. So we have to suck it up, smile, step out and step up. The other choices are not worth it. Ride the day like the ancient mariner rode the high seas with only a compass and the stars as a guide. You’ll find a safe harbor for a rest before setting out again.

I like dandelions. As a kid my dad would take me to pick dandelions for dinner’s salad.  My mom would take me to pick dandelion flowers to make dandelion wine.  I let the dandelion flowers bloom in my yard. I don’t see them as a weed. I see them as food,  drink, and nectar for the bees.
