Life is too short

Life is too short
Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness
Laugh when you can
Apologize when you should
And let go of what you can't change
love deeply and forgive quickly
Take chances, give everything and have no regrets

Life is too short to be unhappy
You have to take the good with the bad
Smile when you're sad
Love what you got and always remember what you had.
Always forgive, never forget
Learn from your mistakes but never regret

A Child in solemn prayer

When I went to Mass last Sunday, I was surprised to see a child in front of me, praying solemnly, facing the altar with great reverence. He was about seven to eight years of age. I couldn't help but admire him... because at such a very young age, he already knew the importance of a spiritual life. I used to be like him as a kid, growing up from a very devout Catholic family. Would go to church alone, talk to my Travel Companion about everything. My anxieties, my worries, things that upsets me... things that makes me smile, makes me happy... just about anything that happens to me under the sun. I have changed significantly... I want to remember that me in the past... That was why, seeing that kid moved me.

In a world where technology is the trend... it is very rare that people, children specially, have time to pray. That is why, it was such a pleasant surprise to see such a small kid in fervent prayer. His parents may have taught him good values... but even if they did not... That kid... he's special. I hope he won't ever change. In this world of turmoil and confusion... where the philosophy of relativism exists... when everything evil is justified...It's a refreshing sight to see the innocence of children... that goodness that can happen only when one commits himself/herself to be good. It's rare nowadays... I hope I can make myself the way I am before. :)
