Mondays Can Be Wonderful

from erstories.net

My Mondays are usually eventful, and this morning was no exception. I rode the elevator with a lady who works in the upper floors of the same building. As this lady got off the elevator to go to work, I flashed my most radiant smile and wished her a great day, she turned to me and said “I seriously don’t know what to wish for more, for this lousy today to be over or for this week to end quickly” At first, I was taken aback by such a remark before thinking to myself that this lady's thoughts reeked of negativity. What a shame it is to wish your days away! I find that I often gladly do just the opposite, I am often wishing that the day was longer, that I had more time in the day, 30 hours if possible, not just because there is so much to do, so much to live for, but also because I had been given a 2nd lease of life not too long ago plus my days are so interesting now even on those days when there's not much to do that I hate to see them end. Going to sleep early seems to me as such a waste. I know, I've been nagged on for being a night creature for far too many times.

If we could only realize that there is no tomorrow (somehow the  number "2012" always crops up in my mind nowadays), that today is precious and that to wish it away is to live in a type of self-induced limbo. That is, if we are wishing today away, then we are not being present in the moment and since tomorrow which is guaranteed to no one, has not happened, we are in a state of mental-limbo.

We human beings are a weird lot, right?

The really sad part is that most people who are wishing their day away are not doing anything that will make tomorrow, next week or the next 10 years any better, hence they end up in a vicious cycle of wishing their days away for various illogical reasons, which in the end becomes a series of days which cumulates to a life time and before they realise it (or never!) they find out in they have wished their lives away.

We ought to cherish each and every day and moment. There are so many wonderful possibilities in each day, there is so much joy to be experienced, especially in the presence of loving family and friends. Even on our worst of days when nothing seems to be going right, there are still lessons to be learnt, joy and wonder to found in each day. Flowers grow out of dark moments. I know it's truly hard sometimes, especially when a barrage of problems crop up from nowehere, but we simply must be aware that the only time we have is NOW and that the only place is here and that we must learn to be open to all that is happening within and around us. It's only human to dwell in negativity but allow only for a short moment. Know your beauty and the beauty of this world will unfold in front of you.

May your worst day, at a minimum be a “manageable” day.

P.S. I had a short chat with another negatively-charged sentient being early this afternoon . He sighed before telling me that he was going to have a “SHITacular” day! Zoiks! if not positive, he is certainly creative in his negative approach to his life, lolz! Little did he know that through his negative view on "his world" that he inspired me to appreciate my day that much more.

May you find peace and joy in your day, may you live in the only time you have which is “now” and know the sanctity and glory of each moment.

Have a charming new week, my dear friends!

The New ABCs

missshonah.edublogs.org/

A is for apple, and B is for boat,
that used to be right, but now it won’t float!
Age before beauty is what we once said,
but let's be a bit more realistic instead.

Let's rhyme the new ABC!
Here goes:



A's for arthritis;
B's the bad back,
C's the chest pains,
perhaps car-d-iac?

D 's for dental decay, I ought not smile,
E 's for eyesight, can't locate that bile!
F 's for fissures and fluid retention,
G 's for gas which I'd rather not mention.

H 's for high blood pressure–I'd rather it low;
I 's for incisions with scars you can show.
J 's for joints, out of socket, won't mend,
K 's for knees that crack when they bend.

L 's for libido, what happened to sex?
M 's for memory, I forget what comes next.
N 's neuralgia, in nerves way down low;
O 's for osteo, bones that don't grow!

P 's for prescriptions, I have quite a few,
just give me a pill and I'll be good as new!
Q 's for queasy, is it fatal or flu?
R 's for reflux, one meal turns to two.

S 's for sleepless nights, counting my fears,
T 's for tinnitus; digi ringtones in my ears!
U 's for urinary; troubles with my flow;
V 's for vertigo; that's 'dizzy,' you know.

W 's  for worry, NOW what’s going 'round?
X 's for X ray, and what might be found.
Y 's for another year I’m left here behind,
Z 's for zest I still have– in my mind.

I've survived all the symptoms, my body's deployed,
and I'm keeping twenty-six doctors fully employed!!!



HAVE A HEALTHY NEW WEEK ^-^  …..
