a i k o :: beloved, come to me

the word ‘aiko’ is Japanese for “beloved”. Just thought you’d all like to know that.

I am such a clique whore.

Chris, are you reading this? Just thought I’d ask. Hah. What about you, Alex?

Hah.

Congratulations!

You are a elf.

Elves are immortal and never age physically; in fact, they grow wiser and more beautiful as time passes. Their emotions are the most extreme of all inhabitants of Middle-earth. In fact, elves can die from grief, although that is rare. Elves were the first to speak and sing in Middle-earth; they are also very protective of the world. Prominent elves include Legolas Greenleaf, Galadrial, Arwen, and Elrond.

Perspective

There are two ways to look at every situation in life:

Is the cup Is the cup

half empty? half full?

It is amazing how our perception can be changed by our attitude.

For example,

think about God and then look at these letters.

N-O-W-H-E-R-E

You can assume that God is NO WHERE.

Or you can believe that

God is NOW HERE!

Follow this advice and you can improve your life:

Always remember that you are loved,

even when it doesn’t seem like it.

Believe in yourself and your values.

Don’t sell out when things go wrong.

Don’t let anything get you down;

always bounce back up.

Set goals for your future

and never settle for anything less.

Realize that there are others in the world

with much bigger problems than you.

Appreciate the good things in your life,

and be thankful for the time you have with your loved ones.

Spend more time with your family and friends.

Appreciate the simple things in life,

and don’t get caught up in material things.

If you follow that advice you can’t go wrong!

So the next time you’re looking at a situation in your life:

Is the cup half empty, or half full?

Be an optimist and see the cup as being half full.

Before long, your attitude will rub off on others.

You can make the world a better place

by simply making yourself a happier person.

If you see someone without a smile,

give them one of yours.

Here’s one to get you started.

Inspirational thoughts for the day:

Be Happy Right Now!

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another, get a new job, get a new house. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren’t old enough and we’ll be more content when they are.

The truth is, there’s no better time to be happy than right now! If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges. It’s best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with… And remember that time waits for no one!

So, stop waiting…

…until your car or home is paid off

…until you get a new car or a new job

…until you go back to school

…until you lose ten pounds

…until you gain ten pounds

…until you finish school

…until you get married

…until you get a divorce

…until you have kids

…until your kids leave the house

…until you retire

…until summer

…until fall

…until winter

…until spring

…until you die!

There is no better time than right now to be happy…

Choose To Be Happy TODAY!

You are special:

Your presence is a present to the world

You’re unique and one of a kind

Your life can be what you want it to be

Take the days just one at a time

Count your blessings, not your troubles

You’ll make it through whatever comes along

Within you are so many answers

Understand, have courage, be strong

Don’t put limits on yourself

So many dreams are waiting to be realized

Decisions are too important to leave to chance

Reach for your peak, your goal, your prize

Nothing wastes more energy than worrying

The longer one carries a problem, the heavier it gets

Don’t take things too seriously

Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets

Remember that a little love goes a long way

Remember that a lot… goes forever

Remember that friendship is a wise investment

Life’s treasures are people… together

Realize that it’s never too late

Do ordinary things in an extraordinary way

Have health and hope and happiness

Take time to wish upon a star

And don’t ever forget…

Even for a day…

How very special you are.
