Life Begins When You Do

Walk to the edge.

Listen hard. Laugh. Play with abandon.

Practice wellness.

Continue to learn.

Choose with no regret.

Appreciate your friends.

Lead or follow a leader.

Do what you love.

If you would dream it

BEGIN it.

If you have an idea

OPEN it.

If there is longing

ACKNOWLEDGE it.

If there is mission

COMMIT it.

If there is daring

DO it.

SPEAK it.

If there is resource

USE it.

If there is abundance

SHARE it.

Count Your Blessings

We are blessed with so many things. We really count them all, but it doesn’t matter whether it may be small or big. With our lives, with the air that we do use in breathing to this world and with many things that we have have. We are blessed for the food that we eat everyday, for the water we drink.

We are blessed with our families who loves us so much and with the people who cares for us. Just be grateful for all of them.

Thank you God for many blessings and graces. Thanks you for the gifts, for the family , friends, and many blessed people around me. Thank you for all I have, and for all I am.

Count Your Blessings

Count your blessings instead of your crosses;

Count your gains instead of your losses.

Count your joys instead of your woes;

Count your friends instead of your foes.

Count your smiles instead of your tears;

Count your courage instead of your fears.

Count your full years instead of your lean;

Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.

Count your health instead of your wealth;

Love your neighbor as much as yourself.
