The Big and the Small All Matter
Everything We Do Is Important
In life we seem to forget
The path that we follow
Is long and goes on and on
We may have many breaks and go in every direction
What we do is amazing in every way
Sometimes we make it look so easy
Then again one day later it can seem impossible
There is so much to learn
So many things to appreciate
I like to break it down into small snack size portions
Then no matter what happens
Good or bad
I get to see it for what it is
Only one small part of the whole
The big picture is so much greater than everything I have ever known
When I have fun
I think of the best times in my life
When I am at my worst
I can't believe I am the same person
I am filled with doubt
How can this be happening to me ?
I know the feeling I feel will pass
But really how long is this going to last
Then I think of other people who have had it rough
My life doesn't compare to what they have seen or known
So I pull myself together and begin again
Start fresh for the zillionth time
I never really start over
I take everything I have learned and rework it in such a way
To help me out on this day
To bring a smile to my face
If I can do that to me
Then maybe others can do it for themselves
That is what every day and night is about
Even though I see a different world around me
One that I do not always understand
I have so many why's
I try to have the attitude of a first grade teacher
Each answer will lead to a new question
In the process we can have so many experiences
The ups and the downs
Keep asking the questions
You will keep getting more answers
In the end
You will see life unfold in front of you
One so great
No one will ever be able to steal your thunder
So be who you want to be
Slowly make others see
Your brightness through every sparkle
Keep an open mind
Be one of a kind
Don't wait to do good
When someone says
If it is so easy
How come more people aren't doing it
Maybe they didn't think about it long enough
I know there is only one right answer
Take time and think how can you help instead of hurt
I will let you find it out for yourself
For me I turn to one of my all time favorites
I call it happiness in a bowl
Today I cut up a nectarine and tossed in a Clementine tangerine
It can be any fruit you can get your hands on
Add in some whip cream
I love the taste and can't wait to make me happy
Every word and every action
Leads us to a life we will love forever

AUTHORDora Weithers In life it is easy for me to get too focused on any one thought and it can take my spirits way down instead of way up. So knowing myself like I do I am careful not to over indulge in any one area because then other areas tend to be lacking. i strive for a balance. There are many times I can hear myself say man over board that means I have lost my way temporarily. I have to refocus on something good that I am passionate about and enjoy small chunks instead of the whole chocolate chip cookie at once. It becomes too much for me too handle. I get nausea and don't feel well. There are times when sad and unhappy people bring me down and I find it a real hard time to bounce back. Especially when they are friends and family members. I ask my wife for help. I say if I am down you have to be up. When i am up you have to lift me up even higher. She laughs and I do the same for her. A balance in marriage that makes every day fun. Thank you so much for reading and sharing. The most important thing for me in life is that we all never stop caring.

Gypsy Rose Lee The instructions will keep you busy and when you are thinking of things to do you have no time to get into any trouble. You are focused and trying new things they take time and energy. In the end all the energy will be used to create the love and the passion in life you always wanted. Keep up the good work and please keep me informed of all the good things that keep coming your way. Have one incredible day.
My picture of my new life is getting bigger by the day. I have ordered the essentials I need to begin again and every day more packages are arriving. Once I have everything assembled I will be able to concentrate just on the process of creating and living. In the meantime why do all the essentials have to come with instructions to put them together?
"I never really start over." Great observation. Every little deed has some form of permanence.

John Hansen Reading a hub does it for me. When a persons thoughts are put on paper. The beauty of what they feel in any given day and knowing they took the time and effort to recreate the best of their ability something they felt so important they were willing to share that with the world. Not knowing how people if any will view their own thoughts, actions and opinions. In hopes that one good thought will create another. Then a few kind thoughts make something more special than before. A new feeling with more generosity and velocity to spread really fast. A cycle that can last. It can change the way we live. The way future generations continue to move ahead and create a world so important and caring. Thank you so much for all your help and wonderful comments. I hope you find the time to recreate the magic that inspires us all to be happy.

Mark Tulin Seeing and feeling the love each person has to offer only makes stronger bonds with the people we know so well. Family, friends and even strangers who we meet for the first time. As we reinforce all the kindness and goodness life blossoms in countless ways. Thank you so much for reading and sharing. Have a very good morning.
Yes, we each contribute in our own way to the total picture.
Dream On, a number of things can change the mood of the day. I phone call from a friend you thought you'd lost contact with, a funny joke or video that someone shared, your favourite music being played, or yes, a nice fresh bunch of grapes or some other fruit :)

Threekeys When I have a difficult day all I can think about is how to make it go away. How to change it to make it better. I know I have had so many good and wonderful days in the past. Boy I wish they all could last. I say in my mind come back, come back I never want to let you go. Life is filled with a variety of so many different thoughts, actions and results. We can only plan for the best and deal with the rest. Thank you so much for your lovely words. Have a nice and pleasant day.
Encouraging and loving thoughts, Dream On.
Many Irish blessings to you.
