Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
I haven’t been around; I don’t have a good reason apart from being busy. Although writing should be my escape I just didn’t feel inspired but I hope to get back on my blog horse and start writing properly again.
As you guessed I’m not doing the Australia competition I found it stressful and had lots of things on. I tend to shy away from stressful things. Another reason is when they sent the prize itinerary it looked scary, Aus is a long way and to have a jam packed week with no chance to catch up on the jetlag. Also I’m a bit of a diva and the thought of staying in a hostel instead of a hotel didn’t appeal at all so I punked out on it - sorry everyone. Oh yeah and none of you helped with the tasks lol!!!
If you can remember it was a one day event for ladies only which included seminars, workshops, free beauty treatments and a big market place were you could buy lots of things. I organised it with six other women and it was a huge success.
I feel like I missed a lot, some of the blogs I read all the time have gone and a lot of you haven’t posted in a while like me….what’s been happening??
