Death is good

Death is good.
It frees you from a life of suffering.
It is the end of the road of pain.
Go and die.

Be kind to Animals. Go Vegetarian

Saw the tagline on a van.
Went back to my vegetarian ways again after much difficulties.
I hope I can stick to vegetarian diet for the rest of my life.

Happiness is a Choice, Not a Feeling

Happiness is a Choice, Not a feeling

A man of 92 years,short, very well presented, who
takes great care in his appearance, is moving
into an old people's home today.

His wife of 70 has recently died, and he is obliged to leave his home.

After waiting severfal hours in the retirement home lobby, he gently smiles
as he is told that his room is ready

As he slowly walks to the elevato, using his cane, I describe his small room to him,
including the sheet hung at the window which serves as a curtain.

"I like it very much", he says, wit the enthusiasm of an 8 year old boy who has just
been given a new puppy.

"M. Gagne, you haven't even seen the room yet, hang on a moment, we are almost there."

"That has nothing to do with it", he replies

"Happiness is something I choose in advance. Whether or not I like the room does not depend
on the furniture, or the decor - rather it depends on how I decide to see it."

"It is already decided in my mind that I like my room. It is a decision I take every morning
when I wake up."

"I can choose. I can spend my day in bed enumerating all the difficulties that I have with
the parts of my body that no longer work very well, or I can get up and give thanks to heavens
for those poarts that are still in working order."

"Every day is a gift, and as long as I can open my eyes, I will focus on the new day,
and all the happy memories that I have built during my life."

"Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw in later life what you have deposited along the way."

"So, my advice is to you is to deposit all the happiness you can in your bank account of memories"

Remember these simple guidelines for happiness:
1. Free your heart from hate
2. Free your mind from worry
3. Live simply
4. Give more
5. Expect less

Manna from Heaven

I watched each day for manna from heaven.

Lady Vaz was overloaded with works and offload one work to me - that is to search for pictures. That was fun and earn half a day's pay.

Calvin's friend has a promotional material which is so boring and dry. Guaranteed to put one to sleep. He's sending the copy to me for a makeover. Glad he thinks of me.

Rita sold a domain name for good money and she is giving me some for helping her to effect the transfer.

Today I did a makeover on one of my websites to ensure it hits the first page in the search. The mastermind session gives me valuable feedback to improve my website.

Two of my friends have websites but did not know how to update them. I quote them a good price for yearly maintenance and update. They don't have a budget.

Tomorrow another day. Let's see where the manna will come from.
The Bible saith that if God feeds the birds, how much more he care for His children.

Laughter is the cure for depression

When hope was dashed and the soul descended to the depth of despair, I cried to Him. Let me curse you so that I will die. Because this is not the kind of life that I want. Neither is this the abundant life that You promise.

He said unto me, "Laugh".
