Warning: This is a dark and crappy post. Nothing bubbly today.
I had the best halloween ever. I got to spend it with my nieces, my sisters, and not to mention I got to put on red lipstick! It was so much fun. . .only sad part was that the hubs had to work =(. Oh well, we have next year. Here are some pix.
I'm so excited!!!! Hahah! I was able to go see Ms. Britney in concert this past Wednesday at the Staples Center!
I watched Diary of a Mad Black Woman. . .it's really a good movie. That Madea cracked me up. I loved it when she divided everything in half and wound up in jail. Oh, that was priceless! Any who, I also loved many of the phrases that were said through out. This one in particular sent chills up my spine:
And the first time you touched me, I felt love."
I am by no means a religious person, nor have I ever claimed to be one. I am however very spiritual. I believe family is everything and love is a God given gift. Lately, I have questioned many aspects of my life and am currently involved in one of the most heart-wrenching battles of my life. Even my body is physically reacting to what my heart and soul are going through. I won't publish it here because I am simply not ready to do so, but I am keeping the faith that I will find my way through this. I know that I will choose wisely and learn from all of this. I know that in the end I will be okay. Any who, here are some of my favorite quotes that are helping guide my way right now.
- Mother Teresa:
- Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
- Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.
- God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try.
- I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.
- I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.
- Jesus said love one another. He didn't say love the whole world.
- Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.
- Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.
- Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.
- Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
- One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.
May I be a protector to those without protection
A leader for those who journey,
And a boat, a bridge, a passage
For those desiring a further shore.
May the pain of every living creature
Be completely cleared away.
May I be the doctor and the medicine
And may I be the nurse
For all the sick beings in the world
Until everyone is healed.
Just like space
And the great elements such as earth,
May I always support the life
Of all the boundless creatures.
And until they pass away from pain
May I also be the source of life
For all the realms of varied beings
That reach unto the ends of space.
My laziness has gotten the best of me. It truly has. After repeated requests from my hubby to pass by the gasoline station prior to going to the movies I continued to ignore him. I chose not to do it. Seriously, shame on me. I kept saying "don't worry, I have enough gas to get us there and home". Boy was I wrong!
