Things to look up to..

Now and then I always look up to more and more life lessons. The simple one as I always said. This time it's a list of 10 point of life lessons about words that I found via educopark. You can call this list anything you want...rules, lessons, tips, anything. But the main things is to be able to know the meaning behind every point. It's good to know more about life and all the lessons about life that we can learn. After all, life is a never ending learning. Enjoy the list..

1] Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble; it is a "steering wheel" that directs us in the right path throughout life.

2] Do you know why a car's WINDSHIELD is so large & the rear view mirror is so small? Because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE. So, look ahead and move on.

3] Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes few seconds to burn, but it takes years to write.

4] Allthings in life are temporary. If going is well enjoy it, they will not last forever. If going is wrong don’t worry, they can't last long either.

5] Old friends are like Gold! New friends are Diamonds! If you get a Diamond, don't forget the Gold! Because to hold a Diamond, you always need a base of Gold!

6] Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from above and says, "Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend, not the end!

7] When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; when GOD doesn't solve your problems HE has faith in your abilities.

8] A blindperson asked St. Anthony: "Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?" He replied: "Yes, losing your vision."

9] When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them; and sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.

10] WORRYING does not take away tomorrow's TROUBLES; it takes away today’s PEACE.
If you really enjoy this, PLEASE pass to others. It may brighten someone's day...

Heart and Mind

Have you ever think what are the roles of our heart and our mind? I think that in order to find any answer about our doubtness, we must be able to look deeply into our heart. Because, the heart can give us those answers that often our mind couldn't think of. So, what is the relationship of our heart and mind? I believe it has its own role for us. Logical thinking and a heart's feeling. I'm sure that if we can use both our heart and mind for its proper purpose, we will be able to identify the good and bad, the angel and evil, the possitive and negative, black and white and other things in life.

Heart and Mind

Is it the lassitude, what I am feeling or I am suffering and its increasing day after day, hour after hour. When I recall my past I feel I have done many things that I should not have done or should have done differently. But then, beings are bound to err. I remember the time when my emotion ate me up and then I decided to eat my emotions up and I succeeded too in that to some extant. But now I realize that emotions could have been used in better way. Life is so strange that I myself don’t know what I am trying to know. Is this usual phenomenon or I am the only exception?

I am trying to know, "what am I trying to know? What am I trying to do? What am I trying to get? Why so much of fear of failure, when I have failed so many times? Why am I feeling that I am bounded in my own confusions? Why am I not letting myself left with me only? Why am I not I? Question and questions but no answer No, human too are machines with an extra sophistication of having mind. They are running as they know that they cannot stop. Stopping would mean death. Isn’t that then is the easiest way to stop working?

There must be something else that is playing with us. We cannot stop working. It is not just because of stomach but the heart from where emanates and derives the emotions. You can ask then why mind rules the world if heart is so strong.

Because; Mind emits, heart absorbs Mind shows,

heart hides Mind fears,

Heart bears Heart is not to rule but to serve.

I may try using my mind to control heart

but the power of heart will always prevail over mind.

Sausage and Mozzarella...

Here's something really delicious to accompany you and the loved ones this weekend. It's called "Sausage and Mozzarella Calzone" by Pinch of Yum. Look at the image below..oh it's making me so hungry just by looking at it. I think it would be perfect for any occasion at any time...breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack or dinner. Don't you think so? Find the recipe below. Don't worry, it's the simple recipe. Happy cooking and have a great weekend =)

Sausage and Mozzarella Calzone (serves 8)

Ingredients:

• 4 frozen bread loaves (I used Rhoades brand)
• 1 lb. ground sausage
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup tomato sauce (pizza, pasta, marinara, whatever)

Directions:

1. Thaw the dough. I thawed mine for about 8 hours in the refrigerator. Then I took them out and let them rise again for about an hour until they were puffed up.
2. Brown the sausage. When cooled slightly, mix with sauce and mozzarella.
3. Cut each loaf in half. Roll it out and place about 1/4-1/3 cup sausage mixture in the middle of each calzone. Fold the tops over and pinch shut with a fork.
4. Bake for about 12 minutes at 400 degrees, or wrap and freeze!

Blessings..

Below is such a wonderful piece of reading. It's one of those I can use as a "life guide", the one that I can read again and again just to make me feel better. Not only it has good words in it, but it consists of blessings. How good it is when people always have blessings for you? Blessing is much like a prayer...a good one of course. I feel complete when my parents bless me to do the things I want to do. Don't you feel that way too? So, here's the reading about blessing from John O'Donohue, a poet and philosopher. Have a blessed day =)

"For Equilibrium, a Blessing:
Like the joy of the sea coming home to shore,
May the relief of laughter rinse through your soul.

As the wind loves to call things to dance,
May your gravity by lightened by grace.

Like the dignity of moonlight restoring the earth,
May your thoughts incline with reverence and respect.

As water takes whatever shape it is in,
So free may you be about who you become.

As silence smiles on the other side of what's said,
May your sense of irony bring perspective.

As time remains free of all that it frames,
May your mind stay clear of all it names.

May your prayer of listening deepen enough
to hear in the depths the laughter of god."
— John O'Donohue (To Bless the Space Between Us: A Book of Invocations and Blessings)

Another soul...

What's more beautiful than being madly in love with someone?

Nothing beats that feeling I guess.

Knowing that the one who you love, loves you back is an irreplaceable feelings.

Knowing that you are really special to someone.

Having another soul you can cling to is a splendid feeling.

Let you know that you will not be left alone in this world =)
