Live For Today

 

Live For Today

By Amanda Bradley

 

 

Sometimes there are happy days

that we anticipate,

And then time seems to pass so slowly

we can hardly wait.

Then when we think of happy days

that we've already spent,

It seems that time has passed so fast,

we wonder where it went,

But, if, instead of looking

back and forth so much that way

And never really noticing

the beauty of today -

If we would simply try to make

the most of every minute,

Try to put a little bit

of love and laughter in it,

We won't have to look ahead

or to the past to see

Just how very happy

every day we live can be.

Live Life To The Fullest

 

Once more, it is my pleasure to share with you one of my Book Store's Cards Collections. Below is from one of the Ambassadors card I've found and bought at a National Book Store. Enjoy, 

 

Live Life to the Fullest

 

If you treasure the beauty that shows all around you,

and try to add some of your own,

Enjoy the companionship others can give you,

yet value your moments alone,

If you honor opinions that differ from yours,

yet stand up for what you believe,

Admire the accomplishments others have made,

and take pride in what you can achieve,

If you're a real friend who comes through when it counts,

who always is worthy of trust,

If you follow your heart anywhere it may lead you,

and do what you feel that you must,

If you love those around you, and love yourself, too,

if your spirit is eager and free,

Then you know what it means to live life to its fullest

and be the best "YOU" you can be.

Reminder

 

 

REMINDER

By Amanda Bradley

 

Forget about the days

when it's been cloudy,

but don`t forget 

your hours in the sun.

 

Forget about the times

you've been defeated,

but don`t forget

the victories you've won.

 

Forget about mistakes

that you can`t change now,

but don't forget 

the times you luck has turned.

 

Forget about the days

when you've been lonely,

but don't forget

the friendly smiles you've seen.

 

Forget about the plans

that don't seem to work out right,

but don't forget to

always have a dream.

La Hora de la Decision

 

Oraciòn para La Hora de la Decisiòn

 

 Señor ayudame a decir la verdad delante de los fuertes y

a no decir mentiras para ganarme el aplauso de los dèbiles.

Si me das fortuna, no me quites la razòn. 

Si me das èxito, no me quites humildad.

Si me das humildad, no me quites dignidad.

 

Ayùdame siempre a ver el otro lado de la medalla.

No me dejes inculpar de traiciòn a los demas 

por no pensar igual que yo.

Ensèñame a querer a la gente como a ti mismo y 

a no juzgarme como a los demas.

 

No me dejes caer en el orgullo, si triunfo.

Ni en la desesperaciòn si fracaso.

Mas bien recuèrdame que el fracaso es la experiencia 

que precede al triunfo.

 

Ensèñame que perdonar es lo mas grande del fuerte y 

que la venganza es la señal màs primitiva del dèbil.

 

Si me quitas el èxito, dejame fuerza para triunfar del fracaso.

Si yo faltara a la gente, dame valor para disculparme y 

si la gente faltara conmigo, dame valor para perdonar.

Señor, si yo me olvido de ti, no te olvides nunca de mi. 

 

Mahatma Gandhi
