Mother Theresa's Prayer
People are often unreasonable,
illogical and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind,
people may accuse you
of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful,
you will win
some false friends
and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got
anyway.
You see, in the final analysis,
it is between you and God;
It was never between
you and them
anyway.
"We can do no great things -
Only small things
With Great Love."
-Mother Teresa

May you all be BLESSED and find inner peace that comes from looking within and centering yourself in nothing but positivity. I love each and everyone of you guys and for me to heal myself spiritually as well physically I must surround myself with positive thoughts, positive feelings and nothing but positivity all the way around. My inner demons have alot to do with not taking the time for myself, to meditate, and work on ME more than letting myself go and get caught up in other things that are not so important. The end result is I suffer physically by allowing this to happen. I will not let it happen anymore.
Im not leaving OH or IG. Im just saying something I feel I need to share about me, personally. It is time to let go of all negativity, otherwise it will grow like a cancer and spread until it causes self destruction. It eats at you and destroys you little by little until you can no longer see yourself for who you really are.
Mother Theresa's Prayer is a favorite prayer of mine. I love and respect the woman trendously. Our faith's may be different but the message she sent to the world is universal! Im just taking a sabbatical away from things that have nothing to do with anything or anyone, my eyes are just opened wider and I find I need to work on ME, and I need to find my inner peace and strength once again.
I often read "I am blessed" or ", or "Blessings" or "Bless You", but what does that actually mean? The definition is simply this... "To bless is to remove any negative energy around a person, animal, place, or thing and instill them with positive energy. To bless another is to EMPOWER them." I BLESS YOU ALL!
Love,
Sandy

Thank You Nil It is already working! I feel great today and my daughter just blessed me with the news she is moving out at the end of the month. Going to dinner tonight to discuss possible marriage with her second son's dad, which he is a GOOD, kind, thoughtful person, hardworking with a decent job and will be a good role model for both my grandson's. They were both just too immature when they started out together, now older, they are getting wiser. Im walking on air for them both, and at the prospect of finally getting my life to myself again.
Bless You!
Sandy
