Enjoy Life | Filed under General
Another week is here, let us do our part to make it a better week.
Enjoy life
Never take your life for granted
Whatever comes your way,
Just grasp it within both hands
And enjoy it every day.
Sometimes sorrow comes your way
Bringing darkness,blocking out the light,
That’s the time for you to pray and
To not hope but to know you’ll win the fight.
Life is not just many miles but a journey
Through and over mountains, hills and vales
We cannot always have just the sunshine
If we have not the rain and gales.
So enjoy each second of the moment,
And always give your very best
Remember to keep faith forever
Then you’ll be forever truly blessed.

Now some quotes about life.
Dost thou love life?
Then do not squander time,
for that is the stuff life is made of.
Benjamin Franklin
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
Helen Keller
Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will.
Jawaharal Nehru
Govern thy life and thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one, and read the other.
Thomas Fuller
Life is short, art long, opportunity fleeting, experience treacherous, judgment difficult.
Hypocrites
After the game,
the king and the pawn go into the same box.
Italian Proverb
Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think.
La Bruyere
Life is like a library owned by the author.
In it are a few books which he wrote himself,
but most of them were written for him.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
The best way to prepare for life is to begin to live.
Elbert Hubbard
Life’s a voyage that’s homeward bound.
Herman Melville
The boundaries which divide life from death
are at best shadowy and vague.
Who shall say where one ends,
and the other begins?
Edgar Alan Poe
One way to get the most out of life is
to look upon it as an adventure.
William Feather
There are no classes in life for beginners: right away you are always asked to deal with what is most difficult.
Rainer Maria Rilke
To live is like to love–all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it.
Samuel Butler
Life is a pure flame,
and we live by an invisible sun within us.
Sir Thomas Brown
As I grow to understand life less and less,
I learn to love it more and more.

I love that pic and the poem is beautiful. It’s not difficult to imagine sitting there because we had a cold front hit and drop us down to 60.
“Life is short, art long, opportunity fleeting, experience treacherous, judgment difficult.”
I love that quote.

Shortly after my father died and I flew home to resume work, another broadcaster, a nice guy walked over and put his hand firmly on my shoulders and asked if it was true that I lost my father during Chritsmas. I said yes. He said he was sorry and that he lost his 5 years earlier–out of the blue–from a stupid back operation. I had a newscast coming up and when I was off the air, I walked over to his booth and said: “Can I ask a stupid question?” His comeback line was a relief:”There are no stupid questions”. lol!

Lovely picture, and great quotes Vickie.
I really like this one too;
A neurotic is a man who builds a castle in the air.
A psychotic is the man who lives in it.
A psychiatrist is the man who collects the rent.

What an inspiring post. You always know how to shed light on life.

Wonderful poem. I also enjoyed the quotes…especially Helen Keller’s.

“To not hope but to know you’ll win the fight.”
That is so important indeed. Sometimes the people around you, because they hope the best for you, express their concern that you will be all right. They point you to the dangers. They don’t see how you are fighting day in and day out. To overcome well-meant but not very helpful comments like that, it’s of utmost importance to believe in your life yourself.

“Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think.”
Such is life with the 2 major characters: a tragic and a comic.
