Today I Will Be Master of My Emotions

Today I will be master of my emotions.
The tides advance; the tides recede. Winter goes and summer
comes.. Summer wanes and the cold increases.
The sun rises; the sun sets ...
All nature is a circle of moods and I am a part of nature and so,
like the tides, my moods will rise; my moods will fall.
It is one of nature's tricks, little understood, that each day I
awaken with moods that have changed from yesterday.
Yesterday's joy will become tomorrow's sadness; yet today's
sadness will grow into tomorrow's joy.
Inside me is a wheel, turning from sadness to joy,
from exultation to depression, from happiness to melancholy....
Today I will be master of my emotions.

Just sharing here some one of my reads from OG MANDINO. We can all be master of our emotions if we choose it to be but if we just let our emotions control our lives we're not sure if we're heading to the right direction. Emotions can lead us to wrong decisions sometimes so we must control and master it.

Tangible Investment

In this time of crisis we should manage our finances wisely in order to cope with the pressing problem of living up to your necessities. Sometimes having a regular job is not enough because it’s just meant to spend on our basic priorities so when you want to buy something that you want aside from food, clothing and medicine you feel guilty that you’re not a wise spender. It’s best that we save some of our money and invest on something that will earn good profit someday. Investment can be on real estate, a small business, jewelry or even precious valuable coins. 

Precious metals are known to appreciate values over the years and they’re a tangible investment that you can count on after several years. You can look for silver bars and make it a good investment of your hard earned money. The experts guarantee a high return of capital in precious metals especially silver and gold. It can withstand value even on inflation, war and economic crisis. You’ll soon enjoy the profit from these precious metals over the years.

Waiting for School Announcements

Bad weather again and it’s going on for the last days or more I think.  DH and I can’t sleep because we’re worried about floods, spilling dams and never ending rains. Memories of  Undoy kept on flashing through our minds. We’re also waiting for class suspensions.  It’s often that classes were suspended when the girls and boys are already in school which is kinda hard on kids who were supposed to be resting and sleeping more than going to school just to hear the school’s announcement.  Anyway I’ll ask my daughter to call his classmate who lives near the school. Her classmate would know quickly if they have classes or not because she will just walk a few meters to ask the guard.  Also if there aren’t any floods in the area there will be classes for sure.

Relaxing Weekend with Family

It’s weekend again and we really looks forward to a day that we’re all together in the house free from school assignments and from work. This is the day when kids are allowed to use the computer and play games which they can’t do on school weekdays. It’s also the time that we watch movies on cable television together leisurely enjoying the whole day of school and work vacation. It would much fun if I should get one or two of those kids bean bags I saw online where my kids would be place anywhere in our living room. I just love those new styles I searched with cars and sports design all over the bean bags. I myself could relax in one of those seats and probably enjoy watching television shows more.

God-Dependent Life

This rumor about impending earthquake caused some panic on some individuals but we shouldn't be like that as panic won't give us assurance or uplift our spirits instead we should pray to God to take care and protect us in His bosom. At times like these we can't depend on other people or things that we have to assure us of our safety. It's only God that can save us from harm.

In our present lives we came to depend on things that made us successful in our career and life. We depend on money and power to reach our dreams. Some depend on their friends and family to support them at all times. And most of us depend on their talent, skills and intelligence to give them the life and popularity they want. But all these things are only superficial and can perish anytime. We should have a life that’s God-dependent at all times. In all aspects of our lives we should center our decisions and priorities on God, depending on Him always on our priorities and objectives in life. A person’s life is wasted and needs to be rehabilitated if he’s drug-dependent but his life is saved if he’s God-dependent.

My Son’s Costume in School Program

I attended the school activities in my little boy’s school and asked my office that I would take a leave so I can assist my son. He’s one of the participants in the program, one of the representatives in grade 3 level. They’re dressed in white shorts and green shirt representing the color of vegetables and with a hat decorated with different kinds of fruits. At the front of their shirt they were instructed to have picture of foods pinned to represent nutrition month. We were looking for a way to have it pinned securely because Josh is so active that I feared it might fall down. 

Well the thought of having lapel pins entered my mind but DH has already pinned the picture with a safety pin. Some has put tape around the picture but as minutes pass by the pictures are hanging with loose tapes. It’s a good decision to use pins whether it’s a safety pin, lapel or any other pin because it secures the picture to the shirt. The program went well and I should say I enjoyed the presentation of young boys and girls. It also brought back memories of my two young teens when they were still in grade school.

Quality Fireplace Mantels, Screens and More

When we had a vacation in the coldest region in the country I suddenly wished we have a fireplace in my friend’s house. Our family friend volunteered her vacation house to our church and we stayed there for 4 days. We visited the place at the time that the weather there is very cool leading us to dress in layers of warm clothes to protect us from freezing. Some of us can resist the cold but I couldn’t and felt glad that I brought the right clothes with me to bring warmth to my whole being. I really wished there’s a fireplace there that I can start with a fire to warm us all there. It was our first time to have a vocation and fellowship there and we’re not used to the extent of cold weather.

When we visited few historical places in that place I observed that the first settlers have an allocation for fireplace corner in their house designs. It kept me thinking that if ever I would recommend or suggest where we could get a nice fireplace maybe I can mention www.fireplacemantels123.com, a premier online provider of various kinds of quality fireplaces, screens, wooden fireplace mantels, tools and accessories.

Busy with Quarterly Exams

My teen girls are so busy now with reviews for their first quarter exams and they have different time schedule which lasts for two to three hours only. The schedule is meant to give them enough time to prepare for the next day’s exams so after they’ve taken current day exams they will go home immediately and run through the next day’s test. Just now I’ve checked if they’re all at home since I’ll be going to our midweek bible study direct from office. I also told them to text me anything they need for tomorrow so I can drop at the nearest store to buy. My girls can take of their assignments and things needed in school but we’re actually monitoring our little boy because he’s not big enough to prepare all his school requirements.

Modern Displays and Exhibits

Education has progressed a lot since the days when my Mom was still a school teacher. Studying then was composed of traditional teaching aids such as illustration boards, papers, blackboard and old-fashioned materials. Now most schools and colleges are equipped with modern teaching aids like laptops, modern projector displaying powerpoint presentation, tablets and a lot more. I’ve observed that more teachers now adapts more than the past generation because they’re also the generation of students who have experienced major changes in their studies with regards to technology and modern curriculum.

When my daughter joined a science exhibit she has seen how schools have embraced the modern approach to displaying their trade. Most of the exhibitors in that science fair has used a great deal of project displays that visitors was very impressed with what they have shown. Well I’ve seen more modern presentation on some universities showing panel displays and banner stands. If you’re into advertising your products and services these are good way to promote them. There are more here which you can use for your school or company’s trade show exhibit where you can choose among varied selections that fit your specific needs. 

 I browsed through www.MonsterDisplays.com when my company needs a good display for our telecommunications equipment and storage devices for a mini trade fair and found plenty of marketing ideas on the site. They provide customized displays for client’s specific content and design requirements like pop-up and panel displays, tension fabric display, banner stands, sustainable exhibits, modular display and a lot more. They also offer accessories for your displays and stands such as workstations, kiosks and tradeshow graphics. These things would make your exhibit a totally exciting experience because it will surely attract attention from the crowd. So if you’re into school fairs or company’s trade shows choosing your displays will play a major role in the success of your whole exhibit experience.

Commercial Cleaning Services for the Office

In line with our company’s cost-cutting plans we plan to have a messenger that will act as our utility helper as well. Since the transaction in our office is very minimal messenger would find himself seating most of the day without a task to finish so we decided to let go of the daily help we have and find a male employee who would be able to do the job of messenger and utility as well. For the meantime we want to hire office cleaning  services while we’re finding the right person to fill up the vacant position. 

Anyway it’s also good to hire commercial cleaning services like JAN-PRO which provides industrial and commercial janitorial services for years. Their offer includes premium quality cleaning services for office, medical facility sanitation, floor restoration and carpet shampooing. Their group is skilled to do assigned cleaning jobs for small or big areas with high level equipment such as drum sanders, steam cleaners, floor refinishing machinery, microfiber cloths, mops, backpack vacuums that will ensure that they can provide the best cleaning services in town. Well I’m now thinking if it’s a better idea to just hire a janitorial service like them or maintain a regular one. Maybe we’ll discuss the idea and decide on what’s the better cost-cutting idea.
