“The rain to the wind said,
You push and I’ll pelt.’
They so smote the garden bed
That the flowers actually knelt,
And lay lodged–though not dead.
I know how the flowers felt.”
― Robert Frost
I saw these 4 lines below somewhere (I wish I remembered where so I could credit them). For some reason it stayed with me. I liked the simplicity of it.
Que o vento leve, Que a chuva lave, Que a alma brilhe e Que o coraçao acalme.
My attempt at translating it:
May the wind take, May the rain wash, May the soul shine and May the heart be calm.
“The breath of life is in the sunlight and the hand of life is in the wind.”― Kahlil Gibran
Those 4 lines re-energizes me. It gives me the idea of rebirth and the idea that we can always turn things around with just a change in attitude. Fortunately, often, all it takes is to stop, take a breath and make the decision to see things with new eyes.
All of a sudden, a problem is not a problem, is an opportunity.
“Not knowing when the dawn will come
I open every door.”
―
Let each gust of wind take away all that is bad and no longer useful. Let the wind bring you good energy and all that is useful for your improvement. Invite the winds of change in. Embrace it.
Let the rain wash away your troubles and worries. Be unburdened and light as a feather.
“Inside us there is something that has no name, that something is what we are.” ― José Saramago
Let your inner self shine through, and illuminate all those around you. It is not only about you. It is about everyone and everything you touch. Let all interactions be positive and fruitful. Be better and make others better.
“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.”
―
Let you heart be at peace. Don’t burden it unnecessarily. Give it space, listen to it and nurture it. It will nurture you back!
I hope everyone has a blessed weekend!
You Are Loved (Don’t Give Up)
It’s just the weight of the world
When your heart’s heavy
I, I will lift it for you
Because you want to be heard
If silence keeps you
I, I will break it for you
Everybody wants to be understood
Everybody wants to be loved
Don’t give up
Because you are loved
Don’t give up
It’s just the hurt that you hide
I, I’ll be there to find you
Don’t give up
Because you want to burn bright
If darkness blinds you
I, I will shine to guide you
Everybody…
Lovely! Lovely! Lovely! Hope you have a peaceful weekend!

Hi Kat
It was a tough week. Writing helps me a lot. I am feeling recharged. My sister and I took the day off so we are about to get on the road to spend the weekend with a couple of girlfriends. The problems I can’t solve now are put away for later.
Thank you for asking. I know you care and that helps a lot also! 🙏❤

Hi Kat,
I see a couple of your posts that I didn’t have a chance to read. Will be going over now.
But WP does funny things sometimes, such as people that I have followed for years no longer showing up.
I gotta go, got posts to read 😉

oh no, I don’t think that you made anybody unhappy 🙂 You are real and don’t mince words. I only see reasons to appreciate that and so much more about you.
For some reason I do have issues of not seeing everyone I follow all the time, and at the moment I cannot “like” any posts if I am using my laptop. So I visit and read, but unless I make a comment they have no idea I visited 😦
So perhaps others are visiting you but you have no clue.
Blessings! ♥♥♥♥

Hmm! Some days are just like that my dear Star! We are sensitive beings, and there’s a lot, happening around us! So when something isn’t quite..right! No matter how small it maybe, it can still have the potential of rattling us up, unearthing our uncertainties and leaving us unsettled and unsure! At least it’s what I’m noticing happening a lot around me lately!
You remaining hopeful, is the most beautiful thing! It’s sooooo easy to get down these days! I see it happening a lot all around like I mentioned!..However, those who can still hold it together and smile?! Are to be applauded and admired! You are one of them!

I am a firm believer that happiness is a choice so it is up to me to make that choice daily. Some days it takes more of an effort (such as these days).
On those days I focus on gratitude more than usual. I focus on all I have going for me, such a family and friends.
And I probably smile more than usual, not to be fake but I believe that others may need a smile (masked or not)
Thank you for always being in my corner! Blessings to you! ♥♥

I’m doing good! Today, I met with another entrepreneur (woman/friend), whom I didn’t know well prior! We discussed entrepreneurial ideas for close to 3 hrs! Yer, something felt..off! I cannot pinpoint it. Besides that, life gets busy suddenly, and I love that! As it takes me out of living inside my head!
Loneliness, has been creeping in yes! You’ve sensed right!

I am so happy that you are meeting people and discussing ideas, even though this time didn’t work out. Follow your instincts, if something felt off, even though you cannot explain it, listen to it. Continue to meeting up and talking to others, you never know when things will click.
Things got very busy for me also, and I guess you are right, it allows us to stopping obsessing about ourselves and focus on the busy work at hand.
Perhaps Coco can return for a visit?
Blessings! ♥♥
