♥ - WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD 03/17/2013 - ♥

Don't look back on what has happened,

Disappointments and sad things...

Instead look toward the future,

And the joy that each day brings.

Don't live your life unhappy,

From things already done...

Concentrate on your accomplishments,

Battles fought that you have won.

The chapters of your life are like,

A book you might have written...

Full of fun and many good times,

And those when you were bitten.

Looking back will serve no purpose,

And is a waste of time...

Mere lessons from the book of life,

That guide you down the line.

Don't look back upon your failures,

Instead keep moving on...

For life is what you make it,

And too soon has come and gone.

~~© Loree (Mason) O'Neil

 

Don't wait until everything is just right.

 It will never be perfect. 

There will always be challenges,

 obstacles and less than perfect conditions. 

So what.

 Get started now. 

With each step you take, 

you will grow stronger and stronger, 

more and more skilled, 

more and more self-confident 

and more and more successful.

Just as a tree that is full of fruit

 bows down for others to take the fruit,

 one who is humble 

will always live in self respect 

and treat others with respect.

Greatness is not found 

in possessions, 

power, 

position,

 or prestige.

 It is discovered 

in goodness, 

humility, 

service, 

and character.

Each of us has our own unique flaws.

 It's these flaws we have, 

that makes life so very interesting 

and rewarding.

 It binds our lives together.
Instead of looking for flaws; 

We have to accept people 

for what they are 

and look for the good in them.

You may not be able 

to change the entire world, 

but touch one soul 

and change their world 

forever.

Fill an ice tray with melted chocolate 

and pace a strawberry

 When the chocolate hardens, 

take out the tray

Vakul is a traditional headgear used to protect

 the Ivatans from rain, wind and sun. 

Vakuls are traditionally worn by the women 

and are made out of Philippine Date Palm or Voyavoy leaves. 

The palm leaves are being dried under the sun,

 shredded into thin parts

 and woven to make a Vakul.
