City in the Morning

Beautiful Image of a City in the Early hours of the Day

Happy Wednesday to everyone! Today I bring you a picture taken during the early hours of the day. What feelings does this picture awaken?

This picture is a reminder to everyone that after darkness the light will come and fill up the sky. Right now there is a lot of uncertainty, darkness surrounding us from everywhere we look. Eventually light will come to us, just like the sun is slowly coming to fill the city with it’s light and warm.

Keep moving forward and never give up.

Moods

Mood is like a swing
It swings back and forth
It is like a see saw
It goes up and down
He who loses control of its fury, fails
He who controls its anger conquered the greatest foe within

We can choose to be sad or happy
We can choose to be kind or generous
We can choose to practice patience
We can choose to be pessimistic or optimistic
God gives us the free will to do things, but we are given guidelines to follow
It is up to us to decide which to follow

We may encounter hardships but going through it
Has its own prize only we keep doing what is right.
Never stop doing what is good but it starts in our mind
When we think of good consequently good deeds come into place.

One Day at a Time

There are so many questions that come to our minds during these times. How long? When? Why? As we ponder these questions, it’s good to remember that we always move forward one day at a time.

Believe that the day will come when this is behind us, a day when we will tell stories to our children and grandchildren of how we manage all this by concentrating one day at a time.

These are stressful times, issues at work and out of work. Not being able to see many of our love ones, not being able to do what we always do. Do not stress too much about a month from now, instead take things one day at a time and move forward never looking back or giving up.

Always stay positive on the face of adversity. We will persevere and rebuild what needs to be rebuilt. Do not let fear control you, help each other and look for the good things that are around you.

Never give up and move forward one day at a time.

Reflection April 2020

As we face this pandemic COVID 19, the journey is much challenging. We are put in a high stress moment. But we are resilient. The question is how we respond to these changes in our daily lifestyle? It is changed significantly of our routine. Many of us lost our jobs or maybe working partially or furlough. But we are all together of this medical war. What can we do to cope this situation? I believe this is the time to reflect that all these changes will pass. While on the process how can we continue living in such a manner that we come out victorious and triumphant.
Reflecting and appreciating what we have would probably help. We are given the time to spend more time with our children at home. Enjoying the moment of our family.
Checking within if, we have been giving thankfulness or gratitude to do the people that are working tirelessly in the front line of healthcare such as nurses, doctors, EMS, respiratory therapists, people that work in the labs, scientists who work round the clock to find medicine or vaccine, and our government who are giving means to help in giving support to get through this fight.
Have we given appreciation to the people that pick up our trash or recycle papers? The policemen or women that keep our place in order. The environmental people that keep the hospital and community clean.
Have we given appreciation to the pastors, or priests and deacons who give us spiritual support any way they can? How do we treat our neighbor while we are waiting in line to get to grocery stores? Should we act out of anger or should we show kindness and patience? Sometimes we are overpowered by our own problems that we forget to show love to our neighbors. Maybe this is the time to count the many blessings we have so that we too can be a blessing to others.
This is the time that our words should be of encouraging, NOT of discouraging. We should be of reaching out and helping others. Being more optimistic attitude or behavior in our daily routines would help get us through this situation.
Above all we should NOT forget to ask God’s help in intervening this dilemma. He is so powerful that He can reverse this pandemic effect. His mercy, graces and blessings are upon us.
