Scenes of Life

         “Sunset”

Why are you so beautiful?

Why are you so full of life?

You make me happy, you make me smile.

Just looking at your sight!

You made me realize the beauty of life.

You let me believe in dreams.

And an inspiration to everyone.

So be with us always and be our guide!

                                 -Dessa

"Sunrise"

What a scene, what a beauty!

You are indeed a sunshine to me.

I may not witness you every single day

But I really love your presence day by day.

When you rise above the sky,

It means another life to begin as the day goes by.

You bring us new hope to fly so high,

So don't let yourself out of our sight.

                                      -Dessa

"Footprints"

“Sometimes all that stands between you and the whole journey is simply getting out there and seeing what you’re made of.”

Footprint symbolizes a lot of things,...DREAMS…GOALS…VALUING LIFE…REACHING FOR STARS. When you walk towards your goal in life without hesitation, you’re on the right track. Just go any further, then look behind you and see how far you’ve come. There are no impossible dreams, just believe you can do it. 
Dream big…footprints are there to witness your success.

"The Tide"

“ When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you…NEVER GIVE UP…for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.”

-Harriet Beecher Stowe

This saying is very true, when you’re so depressed, full of pains, sorrows and hardships…you wanted to give up. You felt you’re all alone in a battle. And sometimes you feel the sun isn’t shining anymore. But then you’ll realize GOD is with you. He’s there to guide and catch you up, to carry you and save you from darkness. When the tide turns, you’ll feel safe and saved because He’s there. All you have to do is just BELIEVE and TRUST in HIM.

                                           "BEING ALONE"

I’ve learned to rest in quiet places now and then, and to leave behind the things I no longer need to carry, like grudges, sorrows and regrets.” 
                                                                                                                                  -Melody Arnett

When I’m alone,…I reminisce…I dream…I reflect…and talk to GOD…then I realize a lot of things. I realize to reach for my dreams...to forgive the people who caused me pain…and to moved on with my life. You cannot move forward until you leave behind those negative feelings you had like grudges, sorrows, pains, sufferings and regrets. You will be at peace and live happily when you’ll free from all of these.

It’s okay to be alone. Sometimes it gives you courage to face your battles in life when you’re alone. You will become stronger, braver and wiser.

So, don’t afraid to be alone.

                        'Everything has Beauty' 
                        “Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it”

If you will just allow yourself to see the world, it has lots of things to offer. You’ll  realize that everything has its  beauty and you’ll thank GOD you’re alive and can see them.

So appreciate all  things you see  whether big or small…white or dark…ugly or beautiful…pale or colorful…cheap or expensive…goodies or trash…Because everything has its value, its meaning and  purpose in our lives.

"Flowers, Flowers"

  Flowers that bloom, Flowers that shine,       Flowers, oh flowers!

 You’re indeed a sunshine to my life.                What will I do if you’re out of my sight?

  You are always there to inspire us,                  Can you be my friend day and night?

   No matter what the weather was.                    So that my life has color and light.

                                         “Facing Fears”

I had lots of fears then….I’m afraid of the dark and ghosts, that’s why horror movies aren’t my favorite…I’m afraid of heights, so I don’t like to go to high places especially  mountains, hanging bridges, towering buildings,  and  even at the rides on theme parks...I’m also afraid of animals especially  those belong to the family of reptiles…And also I’m afraid of facing a crowd.  I have stage fright.

But as I continue my journey in life.  I'd realized  to end all these fears, I have to conquer them.  And little by little I’m doing it, and hoping that I can totally defeat these.

Now I’m a lot better when it comes to facing my fears.  I became stronger, gained self-confidence and braver in everything that  comes into my life.

"Happiness"

"A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery while on a detour."  ~Author Unknown

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us."
Helen Keller
"Happiness is the art of never holding in your mind the memory of any unpleasant thing that has passed."
Unknown

If you want happiness for an hour — take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day — go fishing.
If you want happiness for a year — inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime — help someone else.
Chinese Proverb

"The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does."
James M. Barrie

Life is not just about doing good things to other people, but also doing good things to the community and to our mother earth.
