Its Me

I'm sure a lot of people already figured out who I was, although I've only had 3 people ask.  My name is DeLynn.

BE

Be understanding to your enemies.
Be loyal to your friends. 
Be strong enough to face the world each day.
Be weak enough to know you cannot do everything alone.
Be generous to those who need your help. 

Be frugal with what you need yourself.
Be wise enough to know that you do not know everything.
Be foolish enough to believe in miracles. 
Be willing to share your joys. 
Be willing to share the sorrows of others. 

Be a leader when you see a path others have missed. 
Be a follower when you are shrouded by the mists of uncertainty. 
Be the first to congratulate an opponent who succeeds. 
Be the last to criticize a colleague who fails. 
Be sure where your next step will fall, so that you will not tumble. 

Be sure of your final destination, in case you are going the wrong way. 
Be loving to those who love you. 
Be loving to those who do not love you, and they may change. 
Above all, be yourself.

Thank you for this!

Thank you Heart

Thank you light for lighting my eyes so I can see, 

Although I am blinded by the warmth.

Thank you hands for holding on for me,

Sometimes I can't do it on my own

Thank you feet for carrying me uphill,

When all I want is to lay down and give up

Thank you heart for feelings so strong,

Even when those feelings are hard

Thank you light for lighting my eyes so I can see,

The strong person inside me

Thank you hands for holding on for me,

So I can know the feel of your love

Thank you feet for carrying me uphill,

So I can see the world around me

Thank you heart for feeling so strong,

So I know what devotion feels like.

Thank you Friend for sharing!  I love you :)

Thank you for showing us . . .

Thank you Mother

Thank You

Sometimes it seems to be ignored

The endless task you face,

The burdens on your shoulders;

Errands run at lightning pace.

And it seems that often we require

Your constant thought and care

And disregard the effort

And the love you always share.

Well now's the time to tell you

It's about time that you knew,

How grateful we are feeling

For just everything you do.

Thank you Special Moment

Thank you for This One Special Moment

This one transient, elusive, special moment filled with;

All the memories and thoughts and joys and sorrow and life experiences that have brought me here to be a part of this one special…

Oops, it’s gone now…

Oh, look! Here’s another one…

Thank you for this one special moment that I may cling to for…

Oops, another one, gone…

Hey! Here’s another!

Thanks for this one special moment that I get to reflect on all the special moments that make up my life.

Note to self:

Moments are brief. Life is short. Be in the moment so you don’t miss it.

Thank you Notes

Retired teacher gives "thank you" letter to people who offer their seats up on the bus

Being the upstanding citizens that we are, we're always quick to offer our seats on public transporation to the disabled and elderly. We rarely expect anything more than a quick thanks from our beneficiary. But according to Xinmin Newspaper (新民日报）, one retired teacher has stepped his thanking up a notch and made a habit of giving a letter of gratitude to every person who's ever gotten up for him.

Xu Niankui, a 76-year-old Putou District resident, began writing letters to these "kind hearted strangers" in May 2007. He had just gotten on to the Line 858 bus when a female middle-school student immediately offered up her seat for him. Xu began chatting with her, and though he couldn't get her name or age, found out she was from Taopu Middle School.

The next day, Xu sent a letter to Taopu Middle School thanking the anonymous girl. The school was able to identify which girl it was, and ended up recognizing her for her charitable act.

This was a revelation for Xu, who decided that if people realized how much a simple motion like giving up their seat meant to other people, they would do similar good deeds more.

Xu began bringing pre-written letters with him onto the bus, to hand out to those kind enough to be aware of others. Whenever someone offered their seat to him, he would give them his letter of thanks.

In the two years since, Xu has handed out 25 letters. He says every person who has received one of them has thought it incredibly novel.

Xinmin listed some of his blog excerpts, which detail when he has handed out letters and why:

Dear little folding stool

A young women told us: "Today, I just bought a little folding stool, and now I'm giving it to an Ayi to rest on." She understands that we often cannot find a seat on the bus, especially during rush hours. And so she has unexpectedly given us her stool, which she bought, to sit on. It's not easy. I immediately gave her a letter of thanks from my bag.

This is the first time a university student has let up his seat

A young man that was occupying a seat wanted to give it to me. He was 180cm, very good looking, cultured and gentle. Seeing him offering it so sincerely, I said "Thank you!" It turns out he is a 3rd year student at Tongji University, studying Japanese. I gave him a letter of thanks, and he smiled and put it into his bag.

Be Thankful

Being grateful for the little things in life is a key to eternal happiness!
It’s true.

If you focus on the positive aspects in your life, you will see more positive, enjoy what you have, and appreciate the new things.

Make it your new habit to notice these things and be grateful.

We become so accustomed to seeing and experiencing the daily things in our lives, that we forget what it was or would be like without them. Sometimes, we get the chance to learn and we usually don’t like it.

Appreciate your life.

Appreciate your family, friends, job, house, car, dog, cat, neighbor, whatever. When things seem annoying, just remember that things could always be different, and worse.

Thank you Head Ache!

I know this may sound really strange, it was actually really hard to do.  Sometimes its easier just to be in pain than put forth the effort for Healing. 

I had a head ache the other day, it kept getting worse and worse.  I kept praying it would go away and this didn't work.  I got more frustrated and the head ache got worse.  I remembered something I had read saying that we can be Thankful for everything, even our pain.  I started Thanking the head ache.  Thank you head ache. Thank you.  Thank you for communicating to me.  Thank you.  About 5 minutes of this and the head ache was gone.  Even our pain wants to hear us say Thank you.

Thank you for reading :)

I love you all!

Thank You for Being My Son!

When I put my son to bed I usually give him a few kisses and tell him, "I love you and I'll see you in the morning."  The other night I did all of that and then I said, "Thank you for Being my Son!"  He looked me in the eyes and gave me a big hug and I felt great.

He responds to my Thank you better than my I love you.  I think this is something we all need to hear more.

Try saying it to yourself. . .
