Happiness

The sun is shining, i've booked a riding lesson, im eating a bagel-om nom nom,my rabbit is happy, im seeing my friends later, its church tomorrow, and im going on holiday in 2 weeks...life is good, yes i've messed up, yes i've got things wrong, again, and again, but the people out there that know me, believe in me, love me, know that I am sorry, and I know this, today, I forgive myself, for as a good friend of mine raised the point...how can I expect others to forgive me, if I cannot do it myself, after much thought, I guess he was right, so thank you for that :)

I realise that without my past, I would not have this 'present', and thats quite a big thing to get my head around...but im happy, not all day, not every day, but im happy, and that my dear friends is AWESOME. Check out this website, it makes me smile everytime I read it

Every cloud has a silver lining, every difficulty has opportunity, every experience has lessons, so im embracing life, the circumstances may not be as I desire, but that doesn't mean I cannot enjoy them, take the recent entry on the website, many people won't see being single as a good thing, as awesome, it might not be what a person desires, but there are plenty of ways to enjoy it whilst its there-and thats the point im making, but im talking more than just relationships, im talking anything, everything, im talking about LIFE!!

If its meant to be, it will be, and thats because God loves us, and he wants us to be happy, but he wants us to feel real happiness pure, genuine happiness, he wants us to be able to stand proud and say this is I, I am proud to be me, im not perfect and I never will be but im unique. There is no other like me, and that is AWESOME!!

Amen <3

Go in peace, for the Lord is with you, always and forever

The answers...

It turns out, I have so many questions....yet none of the answers How is it that.....? I have the luxury of living in the amazing, modern time of now, yet I dare to be bored? I can complain about feeling fat, because I eat too much, yet others are starving so there children can be fed? I moan about being unhealthy, yet am too lazy to exercise, when there are people out there who have to walk miles just to fetch some water? I get annoyed with myself for turning my alarm off, staying in bed and wasting the day, when there are people out there who don't have the luxury of a bed in the first place? I get wound up about being 'skint' when in reality, I'm so much richer than a massive proportion of the world? I get annoyed when my housemates don't keep things tidy the way I would like, when I'm fortunate enough to be in a house full stop? I have the ability to phone, text, write or even Skype people who I cannot be with at the moment, yet still I wallo...

It's behind you...

It's behind you...isn't it?? Is our past ever really, our past? All the stuff, all the debris thats behind us, all the things we did, the words we said, the actions we never took, the mistakes we made, the regrets we have...are they ever really in our past, do we ever really recieve forgiveness, from others, from ourselves, from God???? In answer to the first one, well im not so sure, I mean we make a mistake, or we don't do what we should, and in an ideal world, we realise we got it wrong, we say we're sorry, and we mean it, and that is that, forgiveness is given and we move on...but in reality, how many times have you stood accused of something, when you can't see what was so wrong about it, or how many apologies have you muttered, because you had to, because you were told to, because it was 'the thing to do', how many apologies have you said, with real meaning, with real feeling, with real sorry attached.... From being little kids, we told, over and over ...

Perfection

The power of words combined with a persons perception and opinion of there own self worth, or lack of, is a strong thing... There are a lot of things I dislike about myself, a lot of things I'd like to change, willpower to change, being one of them....but then just because i know these things, just because I see these faults, doesn't make it any easier when someone else sees them... I guess, we all strive to our image of perfection, our own image of self, our own sense of 'enough', but really, will we ever feel that we're enough, will we eve feel that we've made it, that we're ok...how much of ourselves do we have to change...or eradicate, to create the us that we want, who is actually no longer us, but someone different.Its often stated, that you can't change a person, yet we try anyway, is this because we're so aware of our inablity to change ourselves, so we try to mould others instead??? I've got to be myself, because everyone else is taken.....
