I Love My Life...

true! That's what I said to TR.

And that's the attitude! Not all of us see life the same way though and I am hoping this post of mine would somehow help those who feel a bit down.

@Happy2BeMe thank you.

@toniganzon I am sure that it will. It is a great post.

Of course we do and we only have one life to live anyway.

@LadyDuck Yes, it's me. WAs not a hard fast crash. I already stopped, released my right cleat then brother called me. Turned left, forgot to release left cleat, fell on my left. It was a slow motion fall.

@toniganzon Did you fall riding the bike? I think it's you on the picture.

I'm glad to hear that. I try to enjoy the most of my life. It's the only one we've got after all. Live to the fullest.

@Mike197602 By the way, I didn't mean I EXPECTED you to not be happy with your life! I just mean because I watch how you talk like I do with everyone here and I just get a feel and observe how people are going. I just hope you did take that the wrong way. But I am glad things are going well for you lately! That's really great! And I wish you luck for this other thing/s you need sorted!

@Mike197602 I had a feeling you'd say something like that before I actually read it. I was, well still am going to say something similar cause that's how I feel. Hope things are going well for you lately!

@VivaLaDani13 things are going very well thanks...job is good. Now I just need to sort out a couple (one really) of big things and that'll be really life changing for me.

I wonder how many injuries, if Any, did you have from cycling?

@teamfreak16 Oh no. I joined a 50km fun ride last Sunday and there were young people who were not wearing their helmet. I heard that there were two or three who fell while climbing a slope. This is my first bike accident ever and that's because I wasn't paying attention much. I already released my right shoe from the cleat pedal then my brother called me and I turned left and fell on my left where my shoe waS still attached to the pedal.

@toniganzon - I once wrecked my road bike really bad. Had road rash all over the left side of my body. Luckily, for some reason, I was wearing my helmet that day. This was back when I rarely wore one. My head slammed pretty hard.

Wonderful. And you are absolutely right in saying both sides of the coin makes us a complete person.

It's very important that we do learn from our mistakes.

What do you mean? They're not friends. They're family.

Just like the butterfly. Spreading our wings and fly!

@toniganzon Yeah absolutely.

It will for sure. The thing is, you are thinking a lot about your life and you don't allow yourself to dwell too much on the negativity.

Hope this will serve as an inspiration to people having rough times.

@Shiva49 Of course.

@toniganzon For sure, there is always a reason for what we go through and we should take the ups and downs as part and parcel of life - siva

Agree.

It's normal to wish for more. To yearn for what we don't have. It's those dreams that make us want to struggle and work hard. That makes life more interesting.

@toniganzon yeah, you said it right.

@toniganzon That is true but people handle things very differently and sometimes we cannot help how we think or feel. So it isn't always a choice it is just how our brains function. Sometimes even learning how to handle things differently over time to have better coping skills.

People say I'm a tough person because of what I've been through life which started at a tender age of 13. Everybody expected me to just break down but I've proven them wrong. So I guess it's also a matter of choice in how we deal with what's happening to us.

@shaggin Yeah, i guess that's just my personality. I always think that I have a choice. I was listening to Joyce Meyer's ministry this morning and she talked about how she would think of her bad past when she was abused by her father and she chose not to think anymore so she just told herself to stop thinking. She said that the devil will always find it's way to destroy our peace and the only thing to do is make a choice not to let the devil in. I think it's how I was raised and what happened to me when I was very young that made me who I am. But like you said, people are different. But people can be taught too that they have a choice.

@toniganzon I don't mind at all! Are you reminded about the wonderful, wonderful cat because I am a wonderful, wonderful person?

@1hopefulman Could be. You are such a wonderful person.

Thank you Felix...the cat. Sorry but can't help it. I hope you don't get mad at me. Every time I see your name I am reminded of Felix the cat, the wonderful, wonderful cat.

Exactly! We only get to enjoy if we let go of our worries.

I think that's normal. We all go through life having some difficulties but the moment we overcome those things, it's like like having a new life again!

@Butchcass4 Glad you do.

@toniganzon I find all I need in the Lord Jesus. He is my Friend, my Healer, my God! I would be lost without Him. I am still getting to know Him. It is a journey and a good one.

But come to think of it. If you became a priest, we wouldn't have this chance of meeting in MYLOT.

@antonbunot lol! I would be appearing with two pussycats.

@toniganzon It's our destiny to meet each other. If I became a priest, destiny would have showed me the path (to trek) that would have led me to where you were waiting with open arms (and, hopefully, everything wide open). Unless you would have appeared with that scary boa constrictor coiled around your sexy body . . . that would have been a big problem for me coz I am really, really scared of snakes!
