"You can either relax and let go of your life, in which case you will know peace. Or you can try to control your life, in which case you will know war. Try to make simple enjoyment of your life your goal. For example, if you want to be a good parent, just make the goal to enjoy your children, and you'll do everything right. The simpler you can keep your goal, the more successful you're going to be. There's nothing complicated about all this. Just relax, be happy, and treat the people around you gently. It really is that simple. The struggle is in getting to a place where you sincerely want to do that."

Hi again Irene,
Just wanted to remind you that today is the last day of voting for Bestest Blog of the Year, and there are definitely still quite a few blogs within striking distance for the fame and glory (and $50 cash prize!).
EXCLUSIVE results will be featured on my new (and improved!) blog, BestestBlog.com, 8AM EST on Tuesday morning. Voting for new "Best Blog of the Days" has already begun and the first winner (based entirely on your votes) will be picked Wednesday (and every) morning at 8AM (again at Bestest Blog). Get in the running by joining the Blankest Blank Blog Directory...over 100 have already, and we haven't even handed out any awards yet!!
We'll also be having daily results (again based on your nominations and votes) for Funniest Video, Funniest Picture, Funniest Joke, and Most Fun Game every day at 10AM, 12PM, 2PM, and 4PM respectively.
I hope you'll stop by and leave a comment some time, we've got lots of exciting stuff on the horizon!
This quote should be taped to everyone's bathroom mirror so it's the first thing they see everyday. Really wonderful thoughts. Thank you Irene!
:)
I like that "simple goal" thought.
Wish I'd have been less uptight when my kids were small.
I think I'm better with my grands.
Love the quote Irene!
The results are in!! Check em out and see where your blog ranks!
Uplifting.
A sentiment filled with truth and wisdom.
Yes, the simplier it is the better
Life is simple and it's us that makes it all that difficult
That war thing sounds kind of cool.
If I "just let go" the petty thieves will pick my pocket.
true
and i love the photo
That's a lovely quote, and I need to reflect it some more because I tend to be a control freak and a perfectionist... which usually ends up making me unhappier and more out of control... sigh.... thanks of dropping by my blog! I will visit yours again soon :)
I love swings....i so agree with you
I dont agree!In life real peace comes after one has acchieved some thing..anything,that one has set for himself.Otherwise...whats the difference between a lazy soul,who just let things paas by and wopuld adjust for any thing....lifes a challange..its a fight...its a competition..between you and your dreams...if you try hard,you can wind..and then only you know whats real relaxation!
thnask for sharing this post....
yon nga, to be contented for what i have and be happy of it....
thanks God for giving me all these blessing........
