Just Who Do You Think You Are?

The only thing that will make you happy is being happy with who you are,

 and not who people think you are.

Goldie  Hawn

 

 

 It ain't easy being me

 

It would be a lot easier to be you

 

Because then I could do

 

 everything you do

 

But if I say the things that you say

 

 

And always feel the way you feel

 

Then there would never be another me

 

At least never one that's real 

 

So....I think I will just give this me thing a try

 

and that's poetiquejustis

 For everything created by God is good,

 and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,

 1 Timothy 4:4

Grin and Share It

A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It's jolted by every pebble on the road.

Henry Ward Beecher

Has the road been a little rocky?

Have the seas been a little rough?

Has the going be an uphill battle?

Has this living thing been a little bit tough?

Stop taking yourself so seriously!

And give the world a grin

If you maybe tell a joke some time

You will find that you might win

The love of those around you

Who need someone to smooth the way

And your road will be smooth

And your seas will be calm

As you all  go along your way

and that's poetiquejustis

He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with shouting. 

Job 8:21

In Need Indeed

Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention,

Herbert Simon

 

Need to know

Need to own

Need to have

Need to be

Needing to need 

is a real need indeed

But too much of a need

may just be a little greed

If need what you need

and not anything more

then you can have what you want

For that is what needing is for 

and that's poetiquejustis

Find out how much God has given you and

 from it take what you need; 

the remainder is needed by others.

Saint Augustine

The Pitch

My pitching philosophy is simple - keep the ball way from the bat.

Satchel Paige

My living philosophy is simple

Keep the frown away from your eyes

The worry away from your mind

The  dream always in your heart

And the praise always on our lips

and that's poetiquejustis

For our boasting is this:

 the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you.

2 Corinthians 1:12

Fancy that?

To give reason for fancy were to weigh the fire, and measure the wind.

John Lyly

What do you fancy?

What makes your eyes shine

And your heart sing

And your soul soar?

When you are window shopping in life

what do you fancy?

 

What makes you leap in to the day

And keep moving forward?

 

What do you fancy?

I hope the list is very long because those are the places 

where you touch the heart of life

 

and that's poetiquejustis

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good...

Luke 6:45

Time to kid yourself

Youth is a circumstance you  cannot do anything about

The trick is to grow up without growing old

Frank Lloyd Wright

 It really is not much of a trick, actually

All it takes is a sense of humor

Seeing life as the wonder it is

And knowing that every day of living still holds fantastic joy and surprises

 if you are only willing to say the magic words

"Abbracadabra.....I love life!"

Always be joyful.
I Thessalonians 5:16
and that's poetiquejustis

let it flow let it flow let it flow

Life rushes from within

Willa Cather

You have what it takes!

The energy

The momentum that keeps you going

The passion for life even in the face of adversity

You have that strange and wonderful possession that we call  life!

Don't keep it bottled up!

Let it flow

Let it flow

 let it flow

 and that's poetiquejustis

"Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him."

John 7:38
