Sadness and Unhappiness are not the same

 Sorrow makes us all children again.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said that, and he was right.
A good cry can be wonderful sometimes, and sadness
is nothing more than love announced. Sadness and Unhappiness
are not the same thing, and it is good to remember that.

So if you're sad...be glad. It says something about you.
And there are worse things. And there is this:
sadness cleanses the heart.

Neale Donald Walsch

Harmony

Harmony makes small things grow;lack of it makes great things decay.

Peace

Peace cannot come to this world until you are convinced
that violence will never produce it.

Hurt does not heal hurt. Violence will not bring an end
to violence. Help the world to understand this by
reacting differently, responding newly, when anger and
a need to hurt you is sent your way.

You will have such an opportunity in your life. And
probably, more than once. Do not miss the chance
to humbly send a message of love.

Neale

Happiness

More about Thomas Merton you can read here!

Your light is seen

...your heart is known, your soul
is cherished by more people than you might imagine.

If you knew how many others have been touched in
wonderful ways by you, you would be astonished. If
you knew how many people feel so much for you, you
would be shocked.

You are far more wonderful than you think you are.
Rest with that. Rest easy with that. Breathe again. You
are doing fine. More than fine. Better than fine. You're
doin' great.  So relax. And love yourself today.

Then take in God's love. Right now, take it in.
You deserve it.
Neale

Stress

Stress is an alarm clock that lets you know you’re attached to something that’s not true for you.
 Byron Katie

Caution and observation

 ... caution is not the same as fear, and observation

is not the same as judgment.

  

Use your good sense about things, and don't let

others talk you out of simple caution and observation

by telling you that you are in "fear and judgment."

An ounce of prevention is still worth of pound of cure.

Make sense?

Neale
