SOULS IN STARS

Hellions' BookNook

I reach out

To the soul that I miss,

The friend I know

breathes to exist.

The searching soul,

That holds beauty in hand,

That loves the stars

and worships the sand.

We run in the clouds,

Drink the rain,

Idolize the Moon,

Sleep between grain.

Wake up to the morning,

With foggy eyes,

Seeking adventures,

like fire flies.

HOW TO LOOK AT YOUR PROBLEMS IN A BETTER WAY

Your Friendly Malaysian Writer

A hand holding up a photo frame before mountains and the sea

“And let that be a lesson to you all. Nobody beats Vitas Gerulaitis 17 times in a row.”

That was what the tennis player said after breaking his 16-time losing streak.

Sometimes, it almost seems like the best way to get through life is to lie to ourselves. But then again, it’s not lying if it’s true, right? We’re just choosing to reframe what’s good and bad. Seeing the silver lining, if you will.

So join me as we take a look at how we can better lie to ourselves, and turn our negatives into positives.

GRANDPARENTS’ DAY

Grandparents Day is an official national holiday, signed by President Carter in 1978 and celebrated on the first Sunday after Labor Day. In 1970, Marian McQuade began a campaign to establish a special day of recognition for grandparents. Through her efforts, she reached out to the civic, business, faith, and political leaders and began a statewide campaign for Grandparents Day.

Grandparents’ Day or National Grandparents’ Day is a secular holiday celebrated in various countries; it is celebrated to show the bond between grandparents and grandchildren. It occurs on various days of the year, either as one holiday or sometimes as a separate Grandmothers’ Day and Grandfather’s Day.

The proclamation, establishing National Grandparents Day stated three distinct purposes: To honor grandparents; To give grandparents an opportunity to show love for their children’s children; To help children become aware of strength, information and guidance older people can offer.

Grandparents Day is a day for celebrating the connections between the generations, and its origin was decidedly noncommercial. The holiday has remained fairly true to its roots. A few ways to celebrate include meals or shared activities like playing cards, going for a walk, or just visiting over a cup of tea.

WARM PRESENCE

Crash into my heart and mind
Endless always undefined
Light of love, purely divine
Eternal rays of sunshine
Sacred touch made to entwine
Tenderness makes all hearts kind
Infinite bliss that unblinds
Always prepared to align
Linking paths to form designs

Visuals form awesome shrines
Inspires then redefines
Serene forces well combined
Inner strength flies unconfined
Outer views become refined
Never-ending hopes incline
Supreme source makes life feel fine
