A blog about short stories, poems, thought of the day and life experiences
The best day of the week has arrived! Happy Friday! What better way to celebrate it than to have a nice cup of coffee, which in my opinion is the best drink ever!
Today we work hard but we also look forward to our plans for the weekend, which can go from going out dancing to staying home an watch a movie or even playing some games. There is always something for anyone!
Have a great day today and always remember to give it your best so that you enjoy the weekend all the way!
Happy Wednesday! We have made it to the middle of the week! Hopefully it has been a great week for everyone so far! Today is a day when we see how our plans for the week are going, when we evaluate if we are where we want to be and how to correct direction if needed.
It is important to always stay positive even if your week hasn’t been easy so far. Always move forward with a smile on your face and a twinkle in your eyes. Don’t let events or those around you bring you down.
May the rest of the week be a wonderful one. Drink a nice cup of coffee and always smile ahead!

There was this village that was so rich in resources. The soils were so fertilized and healthy. Palingkay was the name of the village. It was abundant of corns and sugar farms. Coconut trees were also dominant in the village. Besides plantations the villagers had live stocks in their backyards. They had chickens, pigs, goats, and cows. Most of the farmers owned a carabao for them to use in plowing the soil. The villagers were very diligent on working on their farms. They woke up early in the morning to get started preparing their farms for sowing the seeds of corns or the sugar canes. They did not have any of the modern equipments. But the people in the village were very happy and prosperous.
A couple lived in this village. They had 3 girls and 3 boys. They believed that children were treasured from above. The father was the chief of the village. He was a very noble man. The villagers had great respect of him. He led his village with wisdom and justice. Chief Pako had a wife and her name was Lalay. She was beautiful lady and had good heart.
One day, a villager came to look for the chief that he needed his wisdom to solve his problem. The chief was asking what problem he had? The man said that he owned chickens but one of them, his neighbor claimed to be his own. The chief told the man that on Monday at dusk time or before the sunset he will meet him in his backyard. Monday came and the chief arrived around five in the afternoon. The chief was observing as to where the chicken will go. At first the chicken went to the neighbor’s backyard. The chief thought at first that the owner was the neighbor. But as it was getting darker and darker at night the chicken went to the man’s backyard and stayed there along with the rest of the chickens that the man owned. And for the rest of the night the chicken did not go anywhere but stayed with the flock. So, the chief then declared that the true owner was the man.

The ride to our friend’s house was worth remembering. As we drove with a friend, we had this conversation of different countries with different philosophy engrained to people. One that stood out was one of the Asian’s countries who believe of perfection of their work. He shared to us that if one worker feels that he or she is a failure he or she committed a suicide. The conversation continues with expressing our opinions that regardless of not being successful of some point, there is still hope of making it better. There is only one and absolute perfect and that is God. We can strive for excellence, but it is okay if it is not perfect. Life goes on of having imperfection. Giving up at some point might not be the great choice, but keep pressing on to get it right would be the best route.
Keep in mind that being imperfect is okay. Strive instead to be excellent.

In this time of Christmas, God teaches us to have joy. Jesus comes to this world so that we have joy. In our day to day life, it is hard to find joy. But if we do things with joy for example in our work environment or doing our household chores, if we put joy, we become happier. We can plan better and come up with good decision. On the other side, if we have negative thoughts, it makes our mind blurry in our thinking and sometimes the decision we have may not what we want.
We do not let our stresses get into us, because we become grumpy and moody. As we go through our daily routines, we get distracted, especially when things do not go, how we want it. Further, I have seen too many times on the news about road rage. Instead of having anger within, make a positive turn around and find joy while driving on a busy road or stuck on a traffic. This is the time we re-focus, enjoy and do things heartily.
Begin with little things by telling ourselves to be joyful every day. We are given the choice to be happy and have joy. When we have joy within, the people that surrounds us, will become happier and joyful as well. We become like a magnet that attracts people’s attention as they want what we have – joy. So why not choose the best – to be joyful and happy. Keep spreading joy daily.
Keep in mind to always have joy and enjoy your life daily. Choose to live joyfully.
