Canada Day Long Weekend Getaway ❤️

𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫...❤

You work 8 hours to live 4.
You work 6 days to enjoy 1.
You work 8 hours to eat in 15 minutes.
You work 8 hours to sleep 5.
You work all year just to take a week or two vacation.
You work all your life to retire in old age,
And contemplate only your last breaths.

Eventually you realize that life is nothing but a parody of yourself practicing for your own oblivion.

We have become so accustomed to material and social slavery that we no longer see the chains.

Life is a short journey, live it! Collect memories, not material things! 🦋

Sky ablaze with the magical hues of the Northern Lights ❤️

Mi Familia, Mi Constante ❤️

When my time comes,
Forget the wrong that I've done

Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest

Today is February 29th, also known as Leap Day, and it's full of fascinating facts!

Here are a few to ponder:

📌 Leap Day occurs once every four years to adjust our calendars, keeping them synchronized with Earth's orbit around the sun.

🎊 People born on Leap Day are often called "leaplings" or "leapers" and have a rare birthday, celebrating their actual birth date only once every four years!

According to tradition, it's considered acceptable for women to propose marriage to men on Leap Day. This custom dates back to Irish folklore, with St. Bridget striking a deal with St. Patrick to allow women to propose.

The chance of being born on Leap Day is approximately 1 in 1,461, making it quite a unique birthday to have!

Pretty fascinating, right? What will you do on this bonus day?

Whether you're marking this day with a leap of excitement or simply wanting to do something but don’t dare to do so, take a leap today!

Enjoy the quirks of the extra day!

Accept. Grieve. Try again.

Passive always starts with a lot of action. Have you ever watched an eagle 🦅 start their fly. They flap their wings a lot and run and stay focused, and once they’re up in the air they don’t have to flap as much. They look like they’re gliding but they still use their wings to correct and continue their flight…. And always staying focused.

***Whom do you think works more from the story above???
The daily routines of your wives commence from early morning to late night and you called that DOESN'T WORK?
Yes, being housewives do not need certificate of Study, even high position, but their role/part is very important!
Appreciate your wives because their sacrifices are uncountable, this should be a reminder and reflection for all of us to understand and appreciate each others roles.

sentence.

***What Do you do all Day??

PICTURE NOT MINE

𝟏𝟎 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 “𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐝” 𝐛𝐲 𝐈𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐨 𝐊𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐢 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐊𝐨𝐠𝐚:

1. 𝙉𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙩𝙤 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨:
Life isn’t a competition, and if you see it as such, you’ll take other people’s successes as your defeat, and vice versa. Try not to spend so much time on social media.

2. 𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙤𝙢 𝙞𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙠𝙖𝙮 𝙞𝙛 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪:
Humans wired to thrive in communities so the fear of disapproval makes people freeze inside. Being okay with people not liking us is freedom.

3. 𝘼𝙡𝙡 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙍𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙨:
People are afraid of being judged by others. If there were nobody else in the world, our problems as we know them wouldn’t exist. All our problems have the touch of other people in some way or the other.

4. 𝘿𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙛𝙮 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨:
Get rid of the need to please others. Stay true to yourself. Live your life in complete freedom and according to your own principles. Always remember that what other people think of you is none of your business.

5. 𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙥 𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙪𝙢𝙖 𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙪𝙨𝙚:
Discard the victim mentality. Our past experiences – including traumas – affect us not by the events themselves, but by the meanings, we attach to them.

6. 𝙀𝙢𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙙𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮:
Accept and celebrate your unique self. Overcome the burden of social expectations. Lifestyle is not something given, but something chosen. Be authentically You.

7. 𝙔𝙤𝙪’𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙞𝙣𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙧:
Don’t use your inferiority complex to give up on things, rationalize self-pity, and resolve to be helpless. Don’t use it as an excuse not to do things; “I don’t have a degree, so I can’t succeed.”

8. 𝙁𝙤𝙘𝙪𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙩𝙖𝙨𝙠𝙨:
When people don’t like us, that is their problem. Before helping others, you have to help yourself, otherwise, you will end up resenting the very people you’re trying to help.

9. 𝙋𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡 𝙖𝙨 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨:
Never put yourself above or below anyone. Instead of building hierarchical relationships, build horizontal ones that put you both on the same level as each other. If someone hasn’t done an adequate enough job, let them know your expectations without passing judgment.

10. 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚, 𝙞𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤:
If you believe that the past determined your present and therefore your future, then you’ve already decided on your future. Changing your lifestyle and reaching for your dreams opens you up to failure, rejection, and criticism.

This quote summarizes my life …

“What a privilege it is to clean a house made dirty by healthy children playing, to wash dishes because we were able to eat 3 meals today, and to do piles of laundry because we all have clean clothes to wear everyday…”

Grateful everyday ❤️

𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗 𝗜𝗧 𝗦𝗟𝗢𝗪𝗟𝗬... 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗜𝗦 𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗚𝗛𝗧-𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗩𝗢𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚. 𝗠𝗔𝗞𝗘𝗦 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗣 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗞.

𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐈𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑 You know. . . time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years.

It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life with my mate. Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I know that I lived them all. I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams. But, here it is... the winter of my life and it catches me by surprise...How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and where did my youth go?

I remember well seeing older people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away from me and that winter was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like. But, here it is...my friends are retired and getting grey...they move slower and I see an older person now. Some are in better and some worse shape than me...but, I see the great change....Not like the ones that I remember who were young and vibrant...but, like me, their age is beginning to show and we are now those older folks that we used to see and never thought we'd be.

Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a real target for the day! And taking a nap is not a treat anymore... it's mandatory! Cause if I don't on my own free will... I just fall asleep where I sit!

And so...now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and do things that I wish I had done but never did!
But, at least I know, that though the winter has come, and I'm not sure how long it will last...this I know, that when it's over on this earth...it's NOT over. A new adventure will begin!

Yes, I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn't done...things I should have done, but indeed, there are many things I'm happy to have done. It's all in a lifetime.

So, if you're not in your winter yet...let me remind you, that it will be here faster than you think. So, whatever you would like to accomplish in your life please do it quickly! Don't put things off too long!

Life goes by quickly. So, do what you can today, as you can never be sure whether this is your winter or not! You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life...so, live for today and say all the things that you want your loved ones to remember...and hope that they appreciate and love you for all the things that you have done for them in all the years past!

"Life" is a gift to you. The way you live your life is your gift to those who come after. Make it a fantastic one.

▪️Your kids are becoming you.......
▪️Going out is good.. Coming home is better!
▪️You forget names.... But it's OK because other people forgot they even knew you!!!
▪️You realize you're never going to be really good at anything
▪️The things you used to care to do, you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you don't care to do them anymore.
▪️You sleep better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed. It's called "pre-sleep".
▪️You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch..
▪️You tend to use more 4 letter words ... "what?"..."when?"... "what?" . ???
▪️Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere.
▪️You notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?!!!
▪️What used to be freckles are now liver spots.
▪️Everybody whispers.
▪️You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet.... 2 of which you will never wear.
▪️But Old is good in some things: Old Songs, Old movies, and best of all, OLD FRIENDS!!
Stay well, "OLD FRIEND!" Send this on to other "Old Friends!" and let them laugh in AGREEMENT!!!

✍️ Identify the "Porcupines" in your life: Learn to recognize the traits and behaviors that make someone difficult, understanding their "quills" as protective mechanisms.
✍️ Shift your perspective: Instead of judging or blaming, see challenging people as wounded individuals with unmet needs and fears.

✍️ Practice empathy: Put yourself in their shoes to understand their motivations and perspectives, even if you disagree with their actions.

✍️ Embrace non-judgmental communication: Listen actively without interrupting, use "I" statements to express your feelings, and avoid accusatory language.

✍️ Set healthy boundaries: Know your limits and communicate them clearly to protect yourself from emotional manipulation or abuse.

✍️ Challenge your own reactivity: Recognize your own triggers and learn to respond calmly and assertively, instead of reacting impulsively.

✍️Offer unconditional love: True love accepts individuals for who they are, even when they're challenging. Separate their actions from their worth.

✍️ Practice patience and understanding: Change takes time. Be patient with yourself and others as you navigate difficult relationships.
✍️ Let go of expectations: Don't try to control or change people. Focus on accepting them as they are and setting realistic expectations for the relationship.
✍️ Find humor in the situation: Sometimes, a little lightheartedness can defuse tension and break down communication barriers.

✍️ Prioritize self-care: Difficult people can drain your emotional energy. Make sure to replenish yourself with activities that bring you joy and peace.

✍️ Seek support: Don't be afraid to reach out to friends, family, or a therapist for support and guidance in dealing with difficult relationships.

✍️ Remember, you are not alone: Everyone encounters difficult people in their lives. Knowing you're not alone can be a source of comfort and strength.

✍️ Celebrate small victories: Recognize and appreciate even the smallest improvements in communication or understanding.

✍️ Focus on your own growth: Ultimately, the only person you can truly control is yourself. Use your experiences with difficult people to learn and grow, developing greater resilience and compassion.

Ching Shih was a prominent pirate in Qing China, who terrorized seas in the early 19th century. She commanded over 300 junks manned by 20,000-40,000 pirates. Men, women, and even children. She challenged the empires of the time, such as the British, Portuguese and the Qing dynasty. Undefeated, she would become one of world history's most powerful pirates. She was one of the few pirate captains to retire from piracy.
