I want to be hopeful that as today ends that great things will be coming my way this new year.
And that everything I need will be presented to me and I will live my life the way God wants me to.
That I will continue to see the greatest inside of me and to trust my gut when things seem off.
That I will continue to make the right decisions and not let worldly things distract me from my true purpose in life.
I’m so hopeful that everything will be ten times more great than they already are.
Nothing but positivity flowing through me that I could just burst with happiness and light the sky with fireworks.
Hopeful that all dreams will come true and more people will be believe that they can do the impossible if they just believe just a tiny bit.
Being alive is a hopeful moment every morning when you wake up and realize you have another chance to make things right with your life.
That yesterday wasn’t the end and your problems won’t as big as you thought they were,
being hopeful gives me so much joy that I hope that I will be hopeful for the rest of my life.

I don’t want to mope around about the things in life that I can’t control.
I don’t want to waste time moping around when I could be smiling and having a good time.
I don’t want to see anyone moping around in life because, things are not going the way they planned.
Moping won’t solve my problems or yours so let it go and, push away the negativity.
And embrace the possibility that life will get better if you just believe and trust that everything will work out no matter what.

not enough time to really enjoy it for long.
Long hours staying up end with aching eyes and tired bodies trying to make it to their bed, but even when their heads hit the pillow they still some how wake up in the middle of the morning.
Hoping for more rest as the vacation comes to an end and your waiting for that gap in time to come so that you can read or see what’s going on around you.

I hope everyone had a great day and realized today was not just about gifts but spending time with the ones they love and cherishing the memories made today.
Some of us know today is about Jesus and celebrating his birthday and realizing life wouldn’t be as great if it wasn’t for him.
Today is great whether you celebrate it for the lord or for just spending time with the people you love.
Just be grateful that you got to take the time out and spend some love and joy.
“May Light always surround you;
Hope kindle and rebound you.
May your Hurts turn to Healing;
Your Heart embrace Feeling.
May Wounds become Wisdom;
Every Kindness a Prism.
May Laughter infect you;
Your Passion resurrect you.
May Goodness inspire
your Deepest Desires.
Through all that you Reach For,
May your arms Never Tire.” D. Simone
It took me a long time to discover that if I wanted life to get better.
I had to make some changes and right now I feel like I’m being tested so hard.
That my mind and heart are fighting for something to make sense.
The noise so loud it’s taking all the strength in me to hold it in.
I want to be able to discover so many things in life but, I have to get pass this moment to be able to get to the other side.
Where the noise is no more and it is silent except for the softly playing music that helps me escape.
And I start to believe that what I know now will lead me to discover the real truth I’ve been searching for.
Any day now I will smile back to this moment and breath in the fresh air and be grateful that I went through this all.
For where I will be will be great and well deserved.

Keep calm the holidays are fastly arriving and the joy is all around.
Your heart is beating calmly before all your family members arrive.
And then you realize there is so much left to do.
And your heart starts to beat a little faster and you feet start to run around a little faster.
And the calm before the storm is over
And you realize there is no going back at this time.
Your calm is over and it’s time to close your eyes and just take deep breaths and hope it all works out.
What’s a couple of days of panic, good sleep, and cheeks hurting laughter going to do to you.
Keep the hope of calmness in your heart and maybe just maybe it will all work out.

She had strong enthusiasm towards her life, not just for the good moments but the bad ones too.
She smiled for today was a great day, nice weather outside and she feeling up to the challenge she knew life was going to throw at her soon.
So much hope that something was going to happen and she didn’t care if it was big or small.
For her joy for just being alive each day just drove her to be such a delightful person.

He thought visiting his friends for the weekend would improve his fortune for lately things hadn’t been looking up.
So when he arrived and the sun was out and shining so bright, he felt that was a sign that everything was looking up.
So he smiled at everyone he walked by and gave what little he had to the homeless lady he saw hunch over with a cup in her hand.
He walked up to his friends new apartment building and. just as he was walking around the corner he bumped into a pretty brunette woman and that moment changed his life forever.
For that day he gained more than just a great visit with his friend but also gained the fortune of meeting the love of his life and moving to a place that gave him new hope in life.

Relax listen to the calming music
focus on the good things around you.
Don’t let the stress get to you because the storm will fade eventually
appreciate the things at the time they are in front of you.
So much going on that it just seems like relaxing is far from your mind but you take some time out today.
And you just close your eyes and let it all fall away because, you see today you realized there is no point in stressing over it.
It too will fade away and in the morning you won’t be thinking about the things that kept you from relaxing, but focusing on the moment you relaxed and everything faded away from your mind.
And for once you were at peace and could truly breathe another day with nothing holding you back.

is moving so slow
As the clock ticks on and on
I’m sitting here waiting for the call.
But, as it gets late the call never comes at all,
should I continue to wait for the unknown and just
hope it will all workout.
Time there always seems to not be enough of you or you go to slowly
and we miss out on something or you go too fast and we need up wasting you away.
Long days, short days and yet time I never seem to be able to catch you in time when I need you and yet when I don’t it goes by so slowly that I just wish you would speed it all up.
And I can watch it all go by so fast like speeding cars on the highway or shooting star it’s gone before you can make a wish.

I wasn’t fishing for comments as we sat by the fire together but, there you were throwing them out like a life line.
I was flattered by most and just laughing at others for they were too corny to take serious.
It was nice that we could spend this time together and connect like old times, but sooner than later we would have to go our own way.
But, maybe this little bad weather will give us another day.
