^^^^^Happy Mn!!!!^^^^^^

Hi all,

Good mn!!!!

Have a wonderful day ahead with loads of FUN!!!!

--- My Wish for You for 2008 ---

May peace break into your house and may thieves

come to steal your debts.

May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet of $100 bills.

May love stick to your face and may laughter assault your lips!

May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires and
May happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy.

May the problems you had, forget your home address!

In simple words...

May 2008 be the best year of your life!

small thing to do but BIG impact!!!

When you notice the little positive things that people do and you acknowledge that to them,

It always brings a great big smile to their faces.

99.9% of the time, they know that nobody will ever notice and bring it up, but when it happens that 0.1% of the time, they will always remember who it was that took the time and attention to notice and acknowledge the effort made to just go those extra inches.

Luv,

Viji.

Wonderful mn!!!!

Hi all,

Gm..

Have a nice day and wonderful weekend!!!

small words BIG thought!!!

So much time left. Really?
A good friend of mine died unexpectedly and I was struck by a particular passage in her obituary that read: "... and she thought she had so much time left ..." Isn't this true for all of us? We run around like busy bees, taking care of all sorts of things, and before we know it, days, weeks, and months have passed by. Suddenly we realize that another year has gone and then another and another. The question is, what are we doing to get the most out of the limited time each of us has?

Death is not the greatest loss in life.
The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.
- Norman Cousins

Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.
Omar Khavyam

Don't we all dream of living a more fulfilling life? Why not stop dreaming and start taking action? How about inviting an old friend for dinner, calling your sibling just for a chat, remembering a birthday, helping someone in need, being a role model for others? Not only does this make others feel good, but your generosity of spirit will have a boomerang effect. It is called living positively. And that is time well spent!

Is there a phone call you are thinking about? Dial it now!

Luv,
Viji.

Cool mn!!!

Hi all,

Gm..

Have a cool day ahead!!

Life is LIKE that!!!!

A woman goes to the doctor for her yearly physical.

The nurse starts with certain basic items.

"How much do you weigh?" she asks.

"115," she says.

The nurse puts her on the scale.

It turns out her weight is 140.

The nurse asks, "Your height?"

"5 foot 8," she says.

The nurse checks and sees that she only measures 5' 5".

She then takes her blood pressure

And tells the woman it is very high.

"Of course it's high!" she screams,

"When I came in here I was tall and slender!

Now I'm short and fat!"

GETTING RID OF DISAPPOINTMENT

A great many people are disappointed because of unrealistic expectations.

Walking up to a department store's fabric counter, an attractive young woman said, "I want to buy this material for a new dress. How much does it cost?"

"Only one kiss per yard," replied the smirking male clerk.Not to be taken back by the harassment, the woman said, "That's fine! I'll take ten yards."

With expectation and anticipation written all over his face, the clerk hurriedly measured out and wrapped the cloth, then held it out teasingly, leaning forward to receive his "payment."

The woman snapped up the package and pointed to a little old man standing beside her. "Grandpa will pay the bill," she smiled.

He was no doubt disappointed. But in the course of living, many people are disappointed when others do not live up to their expectations.

In order to be happy, some expectations must be dropped. These three particular unrealistic and unhealthy expectations are some of the main
culprits:

1. Do not expect appreciation. When others say, "Thank you," or in any way show their gratitude, be happy. It is a gift!

2. Do not expect others to make you happy. They simply cannot do that. Make yourself happy and share your joy with others.

3. Do not expect not to be let down. At times, people will simply not come through for you in the way you need. Forgive them and move on.

Get rid of these three unrealistic expectations and you can begin to expect more happiness right away!

Luv,

Viji.

Excellent Mn!!!

Hi all,

Good mn!!!

Have a wonderful day!!

It's all how you see!!!

Have you ever felt that no matter what you do you'll get pain? For example, sometimes people feel that if they stay in a relationship they'll be miserable, but if they leave they'll be alone - and even more miserable. As a result, they do nothing.....and feel miserable!

Rather than feeling trapped, use your pain as your strongest ally. Think about what you've experienced in the past and the present. Feel the pain with such emotional intensity that it gives you the leverage to finally do something about it. We call this reaching emotional threshold. Instead of passively waiting for this inevitable emotion, why not consciously and actively produce it in a way that motivates you to make your life better, starting today?

This does not have to be applied to relationships, it can be used in any area of your life in which you feel pain. A great current example is debt, many people have fallen into the debt trap and can see no way out of the situation. There is always a way. Once you remove the emotion and look on any situation in a cold hearted way as if you were advising a great friend then you will be able to see the solutions. .

to every one!!!

Catch u back on Wednesday!!!

Luv,

Viji.

BIG words Wonderful Thought!!!

HOW IS IT WITH YOUR SOUL?

I meet regularly with a few friends and we ask one another that question. How is it with your soul? In other words, at the core of your being ... what is going on?
It's a bigger question than, "How are you feeling?" It includes body,mind and spirit -- everything.

I'm told that a hummingbird flaps its wings some 50-80 times a second. It must eat constantly to work that hard. It takes tremendous energy simply to live.
We, too, must feed our spirits if we intend to be healthy. It may include prayer or meditation or the practice of other spiritual disciplines. Or taking classes and reading books that not only teach, but uplift and inspire.

Use one of the greatest gifts you have been given is a gift of laughter. And it is a gift we never use enough.

A woman diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis told me how painful the disease had become. Debra said that no drugs would touch the devastating pain. "At times I prayed to die because I did not think I could go on this way," she said.
"In 1996 I began seeing a doctor who gave me the most important prescription that I ever could have received. He excused himself from the room. I watched him walking back and forth in the hall; he seemed to be in deep thought."

The doctor came back in with this prescription. He told Debra to get some funny movies and to begin laughing. If she didn't feel like laughing, then she should smile. If she didn't feel like smiling, she should smile anyway. He said that it would increase the endorphins in her brain to help with her pain.
She did just as he suggested. She smiled constantly. Her children teased her about the fake smile, but she told them that it was going to get rid of her pain.

And it did. Of course, not all of her pain is gone, but her newly acquired habit of laughing and smiling has made it manageable. And now Debra says that she takes only a fraction of the pills she used to consume, and that she would feel abnormal without a smile.

Someone beautifully said, "Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass -- it's about learning how to dance in the rain."

How is it with your soul? That may be the best question you can ever ask yourself..

Luv,

Vg.
