Tomorrow is not promised


Sometimes people come into your life
and you know right away that they were meant to be there,
they serve some sort of purpose,
teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are and who you want to become.

You never know who these people may be:
your neighbor, child, long lost friend,
lover, or even a complete stranger
who, when you lock eyes with them,
you know at that very moment that they will
affect your life in some profound way.

And sometimes things happen to you
and at the time they seem painful and unfair,
but in reflection you realize
that without overcoming those obstacles
you would have never realized
your potential strength, will power, or heart.

Everything happens for a reason.
Nothing happens by chance
or by means of good or bad luck.
Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness
and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul.

Without these small tests,
whether they be events, illnesses or relationships,
life would be like a smoothly paved straight flat road
to nowhere,
safe and comfortable,
but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life
and the successes and downfalls you experience
create who you are,
and even the bad experiences can be learned from,
In fact, they are probably the poignant and important
ones.

If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart,
forgive them,
for they have helped you learn about trust
and the importance of being cautious to
whom you open your heart...

If someone loves you,
love them back unconditionally,
not only because they love you,
but because they are teaching you to love
and opening your heart and eyes to things
you would have never seen or felt without them.

Make every day count.
Appreciate every moment
and take from it everything that you possibly can,
for you may never be able to experience it again...

Talk to people you have never talked to before,
and actually listen,
let yourself fall in love,
break free and set your sights high...

Hold your head up
because you have every right too.
Tell yourself you are a great individual and
believe in yourself...
for if you don't believe in yourself,
no one else will believe in you either.
You can make of your life anything you wish.

Create your own life
and then go out and live in it!
"Live Each Day As If It Were Your Last...
Tomorrow is Not Promised"


Shadow Love


truly amazing..that someone you love can give off a light
so bright that they blind themselves, to the shadow love
becoming so blind of heart ,
that they cant see the painful bloodletting of a heart that has given its all,
exhausted every ounce of life, to shine in their eyes
blind in soul, that they never see the fire and passion of another
trying to become one with their own ,
and blind in the minds eye, as if the darkness there
is too deep to penetrate with the brightest star,
and anyone who has the slightest spark burning for them, torch ?
I think not , is dim comparatively ...my spark is but a shadow...
it cannot be seen by one who is truly loved..

this was sent to me by a friend on the web,
Maybe we all can see the meaning in it, as she did. ~ thanks Lyssa~.
Its from a book "Worthy of Love" by Karen Casey.


Love sometimes shouts and hurts, even while it blesses. The act of loving another
broadens our understanding of the human condition and often pinches our egos.
Indeed, one of the greatest gifts, though not necessarily cherished, which is granted
through loving another is that we gain humilty and thus healthier, smaller egos.

How often do we say the words,"I love you,"and yet resent being detained by our loved
ones? How frequently do we expect to get our own way when resolving a conflict?
Is the silent treatment a manipulative ploy we commonly rely on when problem solving
with a spouse or lover?

Love wears many faces and it means not always getting our own way, or never
doubting the other's sincerity. We aren't guaranteed happiness forever after,
even when we know we are loved. But what giving and receiving love does promise
us is growth, sometimes periods of peacefulness, some poignantly painful
times, and many chances to demonstrate that another's well-being is our priority,
which in turn assures us of our own well-being.
