“We can never turn back the pages of time, though we may wish to relive a happy moment, or say goodbye just one last time, we never can, because the sands of time continue to fall, and we can’t turn the hourglass over.”
“Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go.”
~Herman Hesse
You Are Stronger Than You Think
"You are stronger than you think, remember to stand tall.
Every challenge in your life helps you to grow.
Every problem you encounter strengthens your mind and your soul.
Every trouble you overcome increases your understanding of life.
When all your troubles weigh heavily on your shoulders, remember that beneath the burden you can stand tall, because you are never given more than you can handle... and you are stronger than you think."
who else can better understand than you... sandee, we both know now that happiness is a matter of choice. :) like you, how i wish everyone would see that.
It is hard to see the benefit while suffering the pain, but once one is on the other side, the gains are there to compensate. Very nice haiku.
That first haiku is so wonderful I would especially like it to be grammar perfect. If you would please, put an s on pain to make it plural OR change are to is in the second line. ;) (This is not criticism. It is very hard to compose poetry in any language but one's native tongue and you have done an outstanding job.)
Bing did anyone ever tell you that you are a magnificent person and just truly a person that makes one feel good all the time? My friend these are beautiful and so well done. I love them all. You are just brilliant :) Have a wonderful Wednesday :)
Very nice, Bing! Uplifting and moving forward at the same time. We all need to live this way. Without occasional pain we simply wouldn't appreciate the pleasures of life.
thom you always say the nice things. if not for you i wouldn't have found this meme. now i just can't stop. thanks for the encouragement. a big hug for you!
Beautiful poem, and yes we are our own masters. Experiences are what makes us exist and fly higher day by the day to where we are for always shining. :) Your blog is beautiful.
On January 25, 2005, I lost my husband. Welcome to my random thoughts about losing James and finding myself again. For in this journey called Life, "there is no such thing as a negative experience... only opportunities to grow."

IN THE TIME OF SHORTENING DAYS
The crickets have come
to sing summer out,
smooth black invisible chirring
like planets spinning.
I have fed the little rat...
Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect. It means you decide to see beyond the imperfections.
"Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward to the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage and confidence." ~ Og Mandino
If I could wish for my life to be perfect, it would be tempting, but I would have to decline, for life would no longer teach me anything.
"For I know the
plans I have for
you," declares
the Lord, "plans
to prosper you
and not to harm
you, plans to give
you hope and a
future."
Jeremiah 29:11-14
