~ Mia Farrow
It seems apparent that I might have been a little harsh on myself over the last couple of days, its been a while since I can sincerely say my smile has emerged spontaneously, so this morning I decided that enough Endurance . . its time to Enjoy!

Voting went well and noting untoward happened in our ward, city, province and while the ballots are being counted, noting has changed within the country.
All still peaceful for now, and we dont expect any change.

We had a little social bowling as well in the mid day freezing wind, which left me with terrible pain in my face. The neuralgia is not easy to ward off with cold and wind. True to fame my wonderful search tool has delivered some great QUOTES that I can share with you today. Please enjoy each one for the inspiration they give.
“Enjoy life. There's plenty of time to be dead.”

Happy Day everyone.

You should take up ten-pin bowling. You do that indoors!!
It's easy to get bogged down in the dreary detail of life and forget to be happy every now and then. I'm going through a bit of a stressful time on a number of fronts and sort of withdrew from interaction. As soon as I got back on here I felt so much better. The problems haven't gone away but I feel better about tackling them.

Oh, I like to enjoy my life each and every single day. I have learned a long time ago that I should love myself more and do what I love rather than do what pleases other people. In the past, I was so concerned of other's happiness and satisfaction that I have neglected my own. But now, i am only thinking about my life and how to enjoy it before I expire from this world.

@jaboUK I think there are times when life has shown me how I have lost . . . . and in order for me to stay within LIFE in its whole entity - I have changed direction to Live - am I understanding this incorrect or does Mia Farrow have it wrong?

Your quotes and positive attitude is just what I needed today. I've been feeling as if my life has been fading away lately and I need to recapture it before it's too late. Love your picture!!

Yea you're absolutely right. Life is not always to be endured, but also to be enjoyed. A lot of times, many people are into circumstances that they continues to endure in the passing of time. In such a situation, many have forgotten about the joys of life. Instead of counting the blessings, they count the sufferings; instead of looking at the bright sky, they look at the darkness. I believe that life is both a mixture of joy and challenges, opportunity mixed with difficulty.
