Pick your fragrance

I was lucky enough to get the cute Lovely blog award from The Girl in the Orange background and my job is to pass it on another 15 lovely blogs. Instead of going the usual way and posting just links I decided to make it more interesting (or should I say I decided to make you work for it;) and play a little hide and seek game with you.

So start clickin' - one of these may lead to your blog :)

Hope floats

When the tides of life turn against you and the current upsets your boat, don't waste those tears on what might have been, just lie on your back and float.

Louder!

What we don't let out traps us.

We think, No one else feels this way, I must be crazy.

So we don't say anything.

And we become enveloped by a deep loneliness,

not knowing where our feelings come from

or what to do with them.

Why do I feel this way?

Last week, I was on top of the world

and now my feelings don't make sense.

Voicing it, getting it out

and letting other people hear it, helps to dissipate it.

The fears and self-criticisms begin to leak.

And we begin to heal.

In the same way, if we feel deeply about something and voice it, then we're made whole by standing up for ourselves

and what we believe.

You should start your week without that burden.

Say it out loud!

Time to relax

When drudgery and care impose themselves,
Each request and promise a feather turned to brick,
Even the strong and stalwart plead for
Kind relief. What wise soul first decreed an
Ending to weekly trials? ...with Sunday comics,
Naps and leisurely brunch -- time to arrange flowers,
Dogs curled at your feet, and a stack of good books nearby.

Come out, come out - wherever you are!

Most people have come to prefer certain of life’s experiences and deny and reject others, unaware of the value of the hidden things that may come wrapped in plain and even ugly paper. In avoiding all pain and seeking comfort at all costs, we may be left without intimacy or compassion; in rejecting change and risk we often cheat ourselves of the quest; in denying our suffering we may never know our strength or our greatness.
