Whistling Uncle

One day, over a cup of coffee, my friend told me about his “Whistling Uncle”.
He clearly was very proud of him.
“My uncle was one of the happiest people on earth,” my friend said. “I call him my Whistling Uncle. Because wherever he went, he was whistling.”
“What did he do for a living?” I asked.
“My uncle was a public school teacher. But he was a gardener at heart. After his classes, he taught his students how to garden. For free.”
“Wow.”
“Uncle lived a simple life, riding his bicycle every morning to Mass, whistling a tune. He also biked to his small barrio schools, always humming. He lived a very healthy life too—eating mostly the vegetables he harvested. He also was very generous, going around, giving his crops to friends and neighbors.”
I said, “Didn’t he have any problems?”
My friend chuckled. “He did. His big problem was his wife!”
I laughed. “Hey, don’t say that about your Auntie.”
“Oh, it’s true. This is an open secret in our family. You see, my aunt came from an affluent family. She was a complicated person. And she was always irritable.”
“Yikes.”
“At early dawn, neighbors would hear her shout at her husband. But he’d respond by smiling and putting his arm around her shoulder, saying, “Are you through? Let’s make up now.”
“What a guy! Is your Uncle for real?” I chuckled.
“You bet. By the way, his ‘problem’ didn’t last very long. My Aunt died of a heart attack before the age of fifty.”
“Well, if she was irritable all the time, I guess her heart couldn’t carry the burden of her anger anymore. And may I ask how long did your Whistling Uncle live?” I asked.
“My Uncle died at one hundred years old.”
“Gosh, I need to whistle more!”

Do You Want To Be The Whistling Uncle
Or The Irritable Auntie?

The choice is really yours.
You can be the Whistling Uncle.
Or the Irritable Auntie.
The Bible says, Being cheerful keeps you healthy. It is slow death to be gloomy all the time (Proverbs 17:22).
Make a decision today to live a happy life!

What’s The Best Prayer You Can Pray?

I meet a lot of spouses who pray, “Lord, please change my terrible husband” or “Please change my nagging wife.”
Some people say, “That’s wrong! You need to pray, ‘Lord, please help me change myself.’”
Yes, I agree that’s a better prayer.
But I’ve now come to realize that there’s even a better prayer to pray. Here is what I believe you need to pray: “Lord, please help me accept myself.”
I can hear you now. You’re saying, “Huh?”
You see, I’ve met a lot of Irritable Aunties in the past.
Root cause of their negative disposition: They don’t accept themselves.
They hate everyone because deep within them, they really haven’t accepted their own imperfections. Irritation, most of the time, is a self-projection. Thus, they can’t accept the imperfections of the people around them.
Unlike The Whistling Uncle.
He’s happy with himself.
He’s accepted, embraced, and loved himself.
To him, life is wonderful.
And every human being around him is wonderful too. Yes, even the irritable ones.
The Whistling Uncle is happy with life because he’s happy with himself.
Dear friend, learn from the Whistling Uncle.

Seasons of Life

There was a man who had four sons.
He wanted his sons to learn not to Judge things too quickly.
So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.

The first son went in the winter,
The second in the spring,
The third in summer,
And the youngest son in the fall.

When they had all gone and returned,
He called them together to describe what they had seen.

The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted.

The second son said it was covered with green buds and full of promise.

The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and graceful thing he had ever seen.

The last son with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen only one season in the tree’s life.

He told them that you cannot judge a tree or a person, by only one season.
That the essence of who they are, and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life, can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.

If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss
The promise of your spring, the
Beauty of your summer,
And the fulfillment of your fall.

Don’t let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest,
Don’t judge life by one difficult season.

Persevere through the difficult patches,
And better times are sure to come in time.

Aspire to inspire…..before you expire

Live Simple. Love Generously, Care Deeply
Speak Kindly.
And leave the rest to God.
Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrow keeps you Human,
Failures keep you Humble,
Success keeps you Growing,
But Only God keeps You Going

Take care and be safe for me.

Thanks you for being a very important part of the seasons of my Life!

God bless you and keep you in his care through all the seasons of your Life!

The Wise Old Man

A man of 92 years, short, very well-presented, who takes great care in his appearance, is moving into an old people's home today.


His wife of 70 has recently died, and he is obliged to leave his home.


After waiting several hours in the retirement home lobby, he gently smiles as he is told that his room is ready.


As he slowly walks to the elevator, using his cane, I describe his small room to him, including the sheet hung at the window which serves as a curtain.


- "I like it very much", he says, with the enthusiasm of an 8 year old boy who has just been given a new puppy.


- " Sir, you haven't even seen the room yet, hang on a moment, we are almost there." 


"That has nothing to do with it", he replies. 


"Happiness is something I choose in advance whether or not I ike the room does not depend on the furniture, or the decor-rather it depends on how I decide to see it."


"I can choose. I can spend my day in bed enumerating all the difficulties that I have with the parts of my body that no longer work very well, or I can get up and give thanks to heaven for those parts that are still in working order."


"Every day is a gift, and as long as I can open my eyes, I will focus on the day, and all the happy memories that I have built up during my life."


" Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw in later life what you have deposited along the way."


So, my advice to you is to deposit all the happiness you can in your bank account of memories.


Thank you for your part in filling my account with happy memories, which I am still continuing to fill....


Remember these simple guidelines for happiness.


     1. Free your heart from hate.
         2. Free your mind from worry.
             3. Live simple.
                 4. Give more.
                     5. Expect less.


If you blessed by this story, share it to your love ones and your friends.... It is the way we touch each other with simple truths that spread goodness in the world. Who knows, a miracle may happen as a result..


HAVE A BLESSED DAY!!
