Dear Readers

So this never turned into what I hoped it would. In the beginning people sent inspirations in, but I haven't gotten anything in months. I'm kinda disappointed, but oh well it was an idea and I will have plenty more. I'm trying to think of something like this that will draw in more people. But this was a good start for me.

I just recently heard of fmylife.com, the site that has become so popular where people can write why their life sucks so much. I was trying to do the exact opposite of that, I wanted people to share good stories of inspiration, but i guess more people have bad things happen to them than good? Which is kinda sad.

Well I'm not going to delete this blog, because I still love it. But i won't be updating that much. If you want to send something in still - go ahead, you'll make my day, and I'll post it. Now I'm going to try and start a new project. I have a couple ideas I just have to put it together. I'm thinking that maybe this was a little too complex and that I have to make is simpler. So I'm working on that.

Anyways, I thank you to all who contributed, and I hope you keep inspiring.

Love, Joy

MAKE A GIFT OF YOUR LIFE

Make a gift of your life and lift all mankind by being kind, considerate, forgiving, and compassionate at all times, in all places, and under all conditions, with everyone as well as yourself. This is the greatest gift anyone can give.David R. Hawkins

When You Feel Alone

Some days you may feel like you are alone in this world, and

that so many things are fighting against you.
When these days come, you just have to remember this..


1. God will never give you more than you can handle. You're probably thinking, "Well why does he think I can handel so much? God knows you better than anyone. He knows how much you can handle. You just have to have faith in him, and he will help you get through it.


2. Remember there are people who love you all around you. They want to help, and be there for you.


3. You can't dwell on the past, or live wanting the furture. You can't redo the past, or fast forward to the future. So live in the Present!


Everyone has problems. You are not alone.
Most people want to help you.
So just talk to them.
Sometimes talking about everything helps you move on.

Art Sneaks up on You - By: Gypsy

I saw this and I fell in love with it, because art really does sneak up on you. You don't say to yourself "Oh today I will be inspired by someone's art." It just sneaks up on you, and can fill you with inspiration. - Joy

Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead, that is where your future lies. Ann Landers

YOUR OWN SPIRITUAL PATH

You will recognize your own path when you come upon it, because you will suddenly have all the energy and imagination you will ever need. Jerry Gillies

We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action. Frank Tibolt

Time

Time is not measured
by the years that you live
But by the deeds that you do
and the joy that you give

And each day as it comes
brings a chance to each one
To love to the fullest
leaving nothing undone

That would brighten the life
or enlighten the load
Of some weary traveler
lost on Life's Road

So what does it matter
how long we may live
If as long as we live
we unselfishly give.

by: Helen Steiner Rice

If we hold hands, we can get through it together. - Anonymous

The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof. Barbara Kingsolver

What is your original face? If you turn your light towards the interior, you will discover the precious secret within yourself. Hui Neng
