			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>&#8220;Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.&#8221;</em> <em>~John Lennon</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have to think about this when there are times that I would somehow think that I have not used my time productively. This saying saves me when I get to think, hey indeed  if you enjoy something you do as a diversion or something that is not part of your task to be done yet you do it when you&#8217;re supposed to be doing something else more important, then I guess I have not wasted time&#8230; my time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Would this include Facebook? I know I am not the only one who may think they are wasting time going through Facebook. But there are times when you get good things from browsing through Facebook when you should be doing your work. There are opportunities we get from browsing through Facebook then I can say my time did not totally go to waste.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Four more days till we say adieu to this year and 2011 will be part of history. Time flies alright! We are about to start yet another year. We have four more days to make the most of the rest of 2011.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What is your &#8220;panata&#8221; or pledge for 2012? I saw this on TV and maybe I have four more days to think about this. How about you?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Praying the year 2012 will be more blessed, fruitful, prosperous, peaceful, blissful and healthy for us. Wishing everyone in advance a blessed, healthy, blissful, peaceful and disaster-free 2012!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">May God bless us all!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On a lighter note, here is a message in a photo that I want to share to my readers/friends.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-4463" href="http://www.thoughtsandbeyond.com/thoughts-to-ponder/life.html/attachment/thoughts-3"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4463" title="thoughts" src="http://www.thoughtsandbeyond.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/thoughts.jpg" alt="thoughts" width="500" height="500" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Indeed I have been trying to take a few moments each day to think about this whenever I can remember. There are special moments in each day of our lives especially for a mom like me, my little boy does some things each day that makes me want to capture those moments and take a video of if only I can as it happens.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I want to cherish and remember those simple yet precious moments that happen spontaneously each day for me as a mom to a growing little boy who amuses, makes me wonder in awe as a parent and yet at times test my patience to the core.  Despite the challenges that each day may bring, I try to cherish special moments with my boys each day in life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">It is true that in life, sometimes no matter how you try to explain and make people understand, they never will understand unless they truly open their minds without bias, OR have lived your life. Sad thing too is that when you open your heart to someone you thought can be trusted, they misjudge you instead and worse is that you will learn they never listened to everything you have said. Sad but true and that is the reality of life. What you can do is just move on, do what is right and live a better life with or without those people. No hate but just a more peaceful life without them perhaps.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Smile for life is beautiful! *Wink*</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-4265" href="http://www.thoughtsandbeyond.com/thoughts-to-ponder/ouch-2.html/attachment/thoughts-in-pictures"><img class="size-full wp-image-4265  aligncenter" title="thoughts in pictures" src="http://www.thoughtsandbeyond.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/thoughts-in-pictures.jpg" alt="thoughts in pictures" width="320" height="240" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ouch!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Shared by my dear eldest sister, I have to say this could be one of the painful and saddest thing a person we treat as a &#8220;friend&#8221; could do unto us. He/she could not be really a friend if she does this to you, right? If you are this kind of friend, come on. Be real, be a truly good friend. <span id="more-4266"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have sadly met people like this. They are either confused or I don&#8217;t know what they are up to doing this. Sometimes you really cannot trust everyone. There are risks in friendship. One of the greatest risk is having a friend who puts you down and you have no idea. No one wants to have an enemy nor a traitor in a friend.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">For those of us who are blessed it would make us more blessed if we would be able to give back to a community. We are not rich and we continue to work hard but as we feel more blessed compared to others giving back to people who cannot return the favor like those being helped by this <a href="http://www.diamondsinternational.org">diamonds international</a> charity organization that is giving back to impoversihed communities.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I did a little share recently through a friend who is supporting a cause for a feeding program. It feels good to be able to do something good like giving back for all the blessings we have been given.</p>
