YEAR-END MUSINGS

(Dharmazeus)

 

·        We live a life not as we always wanted it to be. We have regrets, but we remain grateful.

 

·        Things happen for a reason.

 

·        The past may have given us tears and heartbreaks. But there were a lot of joys and smiles as well.

 

·        More important, there were lessons learned and wonderful memories to recall. And those are what matters most.

 

·        The lessons serve as guideposts to the path we are to traverse.

 

·        The beautiful memories are beacons of light to show us the way on our journey.

 

·        A disposition of gratitude for whatever happened in the past is our strength to face the challenges of life journey in the present time.

 

·        Our present becomes a hope-filled living and a fun-filled journey when we live the wisdom of yesterday.

 

·        Grateful for the experiences made, persons met, challenges endured, we are strengthened.

 

·        Best of all, a joyful heart brings about eternal praise and thanksgiving to God for everything that has been and that will be.

 

·        The lessons of the past taught us to be patient as we live today in the hope for a better tomorrow.

 

·        To yesterday’s experiences – thank you for the lessons.

 

·        To people of my past – thank you for the memories.

 

·        To God – thank You for my yesterday; all praise to You for my today; all glory to You for my tomorrow.

 

·        Grateful. Hope. Believe. Trust. Patient. Pray. Keep the faith.

  Coffee Musings Under the Maple Tree (Part 19) Reflections by Dharmazeus   Twin flames and deep connection are for real only if the parties concerned are true to themselves. Such that separation becomes only temporary and is meant to understand their individuality better so that when the right time comes to reunite, they’ll be more accepting of each other. Their love for one another becomes deeper and more sublime.   Live the now. Tomorrow never comes, but it offers hope an new beginnings. Yesterday is over, let the memories remain all but reminders of lessons learned.   If one truly loves, silence couldn’t last too long. For a heart who cares and loves dearly will always reach out to the beloved even if the heart still bleeds from the wounds of yesterday.   The heart reaches out and continues to love.   If you feel tired of loving someone, take a pause. Sometimes you might need to walk away. Or distance yourself. Like the waves off...

  Coffee Musings Under the Maple Tree (Part 21) Reflections of Dharmazeus   A beautiful dawn is here. An awesome morning has come. Arise, my beloved, let us jointly thank God for the gift of a new day, to renew our love to him and to one another. Forever I will love you.   Today I will value every little thing that comes to my life. Some things might be insignificant yet later I might discover that is the one that matters most. Share a smile and a short “hello” to anyone and everyone you meet.

Stories about anything under the sun are enjoyed as we dine with our favorite pizza and a cucumber cold drink. Simple joys filled with love.   One thing I lo...

  Sabr. Patience. (May 31, 2023) Sabr. Sabr. Sabr. This has become my mantra lately. Why? Because I realized how impatient I was or I am. I needed to remind myself every minute that I need to be patient because not everything happens at a time that I wanted them to happen, and not everyone comprehends things fast enough the way I want them to. What is Sabr?   Allow me to quote Wikipedia article on this. Sabr - Wikipedia Sabr (Arabic: صَبْرٌ, romanized: ṣabr) (literally 'endurance' or more accurately 'perseverance' and 'persistence'[1]) is one of the two parts of faith (the other being shukr) in Islam.[2] It teaches to remain spiritually steadfast and to keep doing good actions in the personal and collective domain, specifically when facing opposition or encountering problems, setbacks, or unexpected and unwanted results. It is patience in the face of all unexpected and unwanted outcomes.   Etymology Arabic lexicographers suggest [citation needed] ...
