Ups and Downs

The first thing Susan saw me that day she asked me a question "How is life?"
I paused a very looong while..couldnt answer her..
why? I can't say good..cuz that's a lie..There are Ups and Downs in my life..and very often..
i replied her "today is good." (smile).

As we sat down and talked..she said "hey gal, ur life really has lots of ups and downs and very frequently.." and I replied her "remember once a pastor said this: Life is like a life-line where u see beside a patient..if it goes ups and downs..it means u r alive..and if its straight..U R DEAD!" So I told her..its a good thing that I am still having ups and downs in life..it means i am alive.
All these ups and downs in life makes me stronger..I never grumble or blame God becuz I know its for my good..I have lots of lessons to learn.
Life is a never ending process of learning..till the day we met Lord..we still learns.

It reminds me of what Bill used to say to me "Angel, I am asking u a simple question. Are u happy? Why do you find it so difficult to answer? Its either u are or u are not. I am not asking about if what happen or if u do this are u happy..i am asking are u happy now. If u ask me Bill are u happy..I will tell u Sure I am happy."
Many times in life we cannot answer such a simple question when people ask us. Cuz Life is never that simple anymore. I used to answer rite away Yes I am happy..just like Bill..but now..I no longer know I am happy or not..But one thing I know for sure..if u ask me..are u happy about where u are going to after you leave this world..I will tell u Yes I am Happy..but as for life..hmm..
its really a difficult questions in life..
its not that I have many wants that cannot be fulfilled..rather..there are just too many upsets in life..
one can be happy now..but then someone just came in threw something right into ur face...or doubts ur ability without even understanding the entire situation..not showing their apprecation...how happy can one be?
Bill always say "No one is doing anything to u if u dun allow them to do so. To be happy or not depends on how U wanna feel." Bill is very successful and positive person...always there to give advise..to me ...sometimes I think..even if the heaven is to fall on him..he will be alright..yup..I wish I could be like him.
Many times he has to be the one to remind me about my faith in God..and how God wonderfully made us..and love us and we are all special and unique..He's spiritual state seems much much better than me and many of those who claim to be much holy. As the bible says "One can tell the tree but the fruit it bears."
If u think I am good..well...i still have a looooong way to go....
Thank God for NEVER forsaking me..and all the love and patients on me.
THANK U LORD FOR NEVER LETTING GO OF ME.

Points to ponder: Are U happy? How is life?

Final Destination of Everyone

Money often deceive us, leading us to forget we will die some day. Poor people will die, Rich people will also die.
In the bible, it says to the Rich, today your life will be taken from you, what will happen to the riches you have stored up for yourself.
So be Wise- store up for yourself treasures in heaven which never rot as it has eternal value.
Our stay in this world is but only max. hundred over years..
but compare to life in eternity after death, what seems long here is but only a grain in heaven.

My Zodiac

Angeline's Zodiac Sign - TAURUS

9 may Taureans never slap or sting. Rather, they creep up on you, affect you deeply and leave their indelible impression on your soul. Think of Taurus as a long sensual kiss. A huge tender bear hug. Or an eiderdown on a cold alpine night. Taureans are warm (but sometimes stodgy) customers.

Many Taureans work with their hands. Even if a Taurus is a computer expert and seems more cerebral than manual, nine times out of ten there is a hidden craft or hobby lurking behind the scenes. Taureans enjoy forging beautiful things from natural materials. In fact, they are attracted to all sorts of beauty. Music thrills them. Flowers enchant them. The countryside seduces them. And art is their natural habitat.

Taureans are forever building their own workshops and renovating barns and old churches. They are not only home-loving, they like to get their hands into the cement and slather on the plaster, if only for the tangible joy of playing in the mud.

Taureans do not take kindly to sudden change. They like to be wherever they are supposed to be when it is time to be there. Taureans readily adjust to routine and for that reason make fabulous employees. Precipitous and unexpected events requiring flexibility and resilience may cause Taureans to dig in their hooves and refuse to budge. Bulls are obstinate and determined to hold their ground. It is wiser not to try to talk Taurus out of a sulk. Just let him paw the earth and snort and seethe on his own. Take a tranquilizer and a walk. Soon, when the inevitable becomes blatantly inevitable, Taurus will budge of his own accord, come out of his sulk and go with the flow.

Sensuality belongs to Taurus. Wherever there is pleasure you will find a Taurean plunk in the middle of it all. They love to bask in the "good life." Taureans cannot resist the tug of the opposite sex. When an attractive newcomer arrives on the scene, count on Taurus to see to it that the outsiders have a drink, are made comfortable and have slipped Taurus a telephone number or two.

Taureans are amorous and romantic without being flighty or maudlin. They are tender and don't mind public displays of affection. Love and all of its expressions appeal to the Bull. Taureans can be counted on to stray a bit where sex is concerned, but they never flaunt their infidelities and usually avoid sticky extracurricular entanglements. If you love a Taurus, feed him.
