ACROSS THE MILES

ANOTHER TAG

I have been tagged by Srijith to do this book tag. I have been really busy for the last couple of weeks and have not had time to read or visit many blogs, something I feel really sad about. I miss all my blogger friends and most of all I miss all the interesting posts and poems. Now back to the tag..

1..I have to simply take a book, turn to page 123 and reproduce the fifth paragraph .

I reach over to my nightstand and take the book "Always believe in yourself and your dreams" edited by Patricia Wayant. The book has only 63 pages so I close my eyes and open the middle of the book. There is a poem "Create your own world." by Dena Dilaconi .

The last paragraph says It is up to each of us to decide which way we want to go; how far or how fast we go in life are the choices we all must make for ourselves"

This last paragraph hit home to me because there was is much truth in that phrase. I know that everyone does not get the same opportunities in life, but it is up to each one to create the world we live in. We can either take the worst circumstance and make it better or we can just accept it and be miserable.

I have to share this second poem with you:

IT'S UP TO YOU

by Linda E Knight

This life is the only one you are given

Look for opportunities to grow

and never be discouraged.

Replace your weakness with positives.

Take life's broken pieces

and re- create your dreams.

Never measure the future by the past

let yesterday become a memory

and to-morrow a promise.

Begin each day by focusing on all that is good

And you will be in a position to handle whatever

comes along.

Take responsibility for your actions

never make excuses for not being the best

you can be.

If you should slip,

be comforted by the thought

that we all do sometimes.

Determine your to-morrow

by the choices you make today.

Do you think we create the world we live in , or does destiny play a part?

I dont know if others have done this tag but anyone who wishes to can take it up.
