Keep Your Relationship Sparkling

Whatever happens to the romance you feel at the start of new love affair? When heart-stopping affairs turn into long term relationships, things often change.

Ways to keep being romantic:

*Keep talking to each other how you feel,
the ups and downs of the days. Listen as well
as talk, and you will find that your emotional
sharing creates a close bond that increases
sexual desires.

*Remember that bad sex is hardly ever about
technique and nearly always about lack of
communication.

Share your deepest feelings and thoughts and feel that
sparkle return.

Host A Fun Fight

This is something I read and decided to post it.
This takes two people. Have a water, shaving cream, or food fight in the kitchen. (it’s the easiest pace to clean up.) If you’re alone with you’re romantic partner, you might want to try it in nude.
If you can’t stand the idea of mess, consider a pillow fight instead.

The point is let loose!

Do What Turns You On

Think of how easily your emotions can change by the simple things in life.
Perhaps a certain piece of music can lift you up or a walk, a piece of artwork, sex, a poem, surfing, driving, cooking, swimming, dancing, shopping, singing,…there are an infinite number of possibilities here.
Start to notice what changes your mood for the better.
Allow yourself to do these things!

The Smile In Your Pocket

Our normal day-to-day existence can sometime feel so ordinary and mundane – yesterday, deep in a serious contemplation lining up for a chamomile tea a young girl gave me a beautiful smile. And my whole day changed from grey to dazzling. What a difference a smile makes! It is so much easier to rise from challenges when you feel upbeat and positive. Keep things in perspective and remember to give yourself (and everyone else) a lift. I remember what my grandma used to say when she catches me in my low mood: “Girl, there’s a smile in your pocket.” That always made me laugh. Lighten the load, put a smile and feel the difference. Can you imagine if you have so many pockets? Wow!

Life Is A Test. It Is Only A Test

One of my favorite posters says, "Life is a test. It is only a test. Had this been a real life you would have been instructed where to go and what to do.'' Whenever I think of this humorous bit of wisdom, it reminds me to not take my life so seriously.

When you look at life and its many challenges as a test, or series of tests, you begin to see each issue you face as an opportunity to grow, a chance to roll with the punches. Whether you're being bombarded with problems, responsibilities, even insurmountable hurdles, when looked at as a test, you always have a chance to succeed, in the sense of rising above that which is challenging you. If, on the other hand, you see each new issue you face as a serious battle that must be won in order to survive, you're probably in for a very rocky journey. The only time you're likely to be happy is when everything is working out just right. And we all know how often that happens.

As an experiment, see if you can apply this idea to something you are forced to deal with. Perhaps you have a difficult teenager or a demanding boss. See if you can redefine the issue you face from being a "problem'' to being a test. Rather than struggling with your issue, see if there is something you can learn from it. Ask yourself, "Why is this issue in my life? What would it mean and what would be involved to rise above it? Could I possibly look at this issue any differently? Can I see it as a test of some kind?''

If you give this strategy a try you may be surprised at your changed responses. For example, I used to struggle a great deal over the issue of my perception of not having enough time. I would rush around trying to get everything done. I blamed my schedule, my family, my circumstances, and anything else I could think of for my plight. Then it dawned on me. If I wanted to be happy, my goal didn't necessarily have to be to organize my life perfectly so that I had more time, but rather to see whether I could get to the point where I felt it was okay that I couldn't get everything done that I felt I must. In other words, my real challenge was to see my struggle as a test. Seeing this issue as a test ultimately helped me to cope with one of my biggest personal frustrations. I still struggle now and then about my perceived lack of time, but less than I used to. It has become far more acceptable to me to accept things as they are.

Heart Thoughts

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don’t go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!

Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because life is short and now is when you have the chance to do all the things you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make your life sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.

Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person too.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

The Key To Finding Relationship

The key to finding relationship is like most other things in life. Keep trying and searching until you find the right one for you.

Love doesn't hide, it stays and fight. That's why God made love so strong so it can carry you all the way home.

The funny thing about love is no matter how hard you find it, you won't see it. No matter how hard you try, you won't get it. But when you're about to give up, it comes.

If we lose love, we lose it for a reason. The reason may be hard to understand but whatever it is, we just have to believe that God takes away when He has something better to give.

It hurts when we risk our heart and it ends up being broken.But what hurts even more is when we still hold on when we already know that we're waiting for nothing.

Remember that words and hearts should be handled with care,for words when spoken and hearts when broken are the hardest thing to repair.

Sometimes love is ironic.It's hard to find but easy to love.It makes you feel good but hurts you so bad. It opens your eyes but makes you blind. It fills up your heart but tears it apart. It's like an air. You never know it's there until you feel it and you never know its gone until you need it.

So the point here is when you love, it is not for you to be understood,but for you to understand. It is not for you to take,but for you to be taken.It is for you to listen but not to dictate. It is for you to sacrifice but not to demand. It is not for you to count or measure but for you to love.

I Miss You

Though you are not here
wherever I go
or whatever I do
I see your face in my mind
and I miss you so
I miss telling you everything
I miss showing you things
I miss our eyes
secretly giving each other confidence
I miss your touch
I miss our excitement together
I miss everything we share
I don't like missing you
It is a very cold and lonely feeling
I wish that i could be
with you right now
where the warmth of our love
But since i can't be
with you right now
I will have to be content
just dreaming about
when we'll be together again

The Key to Friendship

Is Not In The Hand You Hold,
But How You Hold The Hand.
It's Not In The Tears You Dry,
But All The Reasons Why.
It's Not How You Make A Person Smile
But Whether Or Not It's Worthwhile.
It's Not In The Conversation,
But In The Way You Listen.
It's Not In The Laughter,
But What Comes Before And
Everything After.
Is Not In Two People Relating,
But In Two Hearts Communicating.

I Will Catch You

Somewhere ahead there lies a plateau;
Somewhere above the fog, the mist
And irrationality.
A place where the sun shines bright
And there are no clouds.
A place where life and truth and meaning
Are known and understood.
And things are seen
For what they are.

I’ve come a long way in the years past.
Alone mostly.
I’ve struggled up many steep trail
And climbed some distant mountains
That once
I never thought I could.
And I’ve learned so very much
About so many different things.

And once,
When I had stopped to rest,
I looked up and saw you.
You called my name,
You reached down, and helped me up.
You taught me how to climb
And search for.
You climb well
And I’m happy
And sometimes more
Than proud of you.

If ever it should happen
That you fall from that mountain before me
I will stop
And call your name
I will catch you
Because I will always remember
That you helped me up.

One Foot Forward

Finding Your Next Step In Life

Our lives are made up of a complex network of pathways that we can use to move from one phase of life to the next. For some of us, our paths are wide, smooth, and clearly marked. Many people, however, find that they have a difficult time figuring out where they need to go next. Determining which "next step" will land you on the most direct route to fulfillment and the realization of your life purpose may not seem easy. There are many ways to discover what the next step on your life path should be. If you are someone who seeks to satisfy your soul, it is vital that you make this inquiry. Often, your inner voice will counsel you that it's time for a change, and it is very important to trust yourself because only you know what is best for you. Personal growth always results when you let yourself expand beyond the farthest borders of what your life has been so far. When figuring out what your next step will be, you may want to review your life experiences. The choices you've made and the dreams you've held onto can give you an idea of what you don't want to do anymore and what you might like to do next. It is also a good idea to think about creative ways you can use your skills and satisfy your passions. Visualizing your perfect future and making a list of ways to manifest that future can help you choose a logical next step that's in harmony with your desires. Meditation, journal writing, taking a class, and other creative activities may inspire you and provide insight regarding the next step in life that will bring you the most satisfaction. It is when you are willing to listen to yourself and be fearless that figuring out your next step becomes easy. Beneath the fear and hesitation and uncertainty lies your inner knowing that always knows which step you need to take next. If you can allow the taking of your next step to be as easy as putting one foot in front of the next, you'll notice that your next step is always the one that is right in front of you. All you have to do is put one foot forward and on the ground.

This Is How It Works

Each new day is a blank page in the diary of your life. The pen is in your hand, but the lines will not all be written the way you choose; some will come from the world and the circumstances that surrounds you. But for the many things that are in control, there is something special you need to know...

The secret of life is in making your story as beautiful as it can be. Write the diary of your days and fill the pages with words that come from the heart. As the pages take you through time, you will discover paths that will add to your happiness and your sorrows, but if you can do this things, there will always be hope in your tomorrows.

Follow your dreams. Work hard. Be kind. This is all anyone could ever ask: Do what you can to make the door open on a day...that is filled with beauty in some special way. Remember: Goodness will be rewarded. Smiles will pay you back. Have fun. Find strength. Be truthful. Have faith. Don't focus on the things you lack.

Realize that people are the treasure in life-
and happiness is the real wealth. Have a diary that describe how you did your best, and...

The rest will take care of itself.

The Greatest Success of All

If you give a part
of yourself to life,
the part you recieve back
will be so much greater.
Never regret the past,
but learn from it
Never lose sight of your dreams;
a person who can dream
will always have hope.
Believe in yourself;
if you do, everyone else will.
You have the ability
to accomplish anything,
but never do it at
someone else's expense.
If you can go through life
loving other,
you will have achieved
the greatest success of all.

~Judy LeSage

Love with All Your Heart

Don't be afraid
to love someone
totally and completely
Love is the most fulfilling
and beautiful feeling in the world
Don't be afraid that you will
get hurt
or that the other person
won't love you
There is a risk in
everything you do
and the rewards
are never so great
as what love can bring
So let yourself get involved
completely and honestly
and enjoy the possiblity
that what happens
might be the only real
source of happiness

Simple Thoughts and Actions That Make Us Feel Better

Want to be happier? Laugh, smile and love as often as you can. Want to be your happiest? Share laughter, smiles and love with as many people - as often as you possibly can. True happiness comes in the caring for and the sharing with others. Because it is at those times that we aspire to be our best. It is at those times that we encroach on our true purpose in life ... the reason we are here.

So in your travels on this day and the next, take the time to share a hello or a smile with those you encounter along the way. Take a couple moments to tell a long lost friend you care. Stop and help someone who needs a little inspiration to make it through the day. Let someone special know just how special they are. And most of all give a hearty 'Thank You' to those who have been there for you along the way ... after all without them you wouldn't be the person you are today.

Something Wonderful

There's something wonderful about music and songs;
Laughter or silence:
The feel of the wind,
The touch of the sun,
And people-
(gentle, sincere people);
or a smile from a stranger,
or the greeting of a friend.

There's something beautiful
About the sunlight
In the morning;
The clouds in the sky,
The stars in the night,
The flowers and forest and meadows
About the fury of the storm;
The anger of the thunder;
The peacefulness of the summer.

There's always something wonderful-
Something pure and good and beautiful
About the little things;
The quite things and quite times in life.

There's something about them
That makes them
A most important
And most precious
Part of life.

Count Your Thoughts

This one takes a bit of pratice, but you can get the benefit from it even if you succeed just a little bit. Because hapiness is an inside job, and because it has shown that we are constantly spending either positive or negative predominately positive thoughts. Therefore, to be happier, we need to learn to increase the number of positive thoughts and decrease the negative ones.
For today, count the number of negative and positive thoughts you have in ten minutes. The trick is to notice
yourself thinking; so much of this below the level of consciousness. But the more you intend to notice, the more you will notice. It's easier to do when nothing else is going on. So sit down quitely and notice where your mind goes. Does it beat you up for forgetting to notice your thinking? Does it habitually go toward gloomy possibilities?
Doing this was very powerful for me. I realize that in ten minutes, I had only negative thoughts-castigating myself, worrying about the future turning out badly. I did not think one positive thing! If your mind is deeply grooved in negativity, it won't go away overnight. What I've learned to do is that when I notice myself looking on the dark side, I constantly think positive thoughts as well to counteract it. You'll find, in all cases, that if you ignore or dismiss a negative thought that fills your mind, a more peaceful feeling is only a moment away. And, in a more peaceful state of mind, your wisdom and common sense will tell you what to do. This strategy takes practice but is well worth the effort.
