Today...

Today I cried, but only for a little
Scared of a future that may never be
Today I felt conflicted, stuck in the middle
Between dreams in my heart and the reality I see

Today I felt hopeful, but only for a little
I remembered and then forgot how lucky I am to be me
Today I felt strong, but only for a little
Then my weaknesses crept into the seams

Today I felt frustrated, but only for a little
I can't change things I can't control
Today I felt angry, but only for a little
Wondering why this life takes such a toll

But each passing feeling is only just that
A feeling that passes and then falls flat
They can cause tremendous joy and bring on great pain
They can make us feel elated or make us feel insane

But Today I am thankful, knowing we not our feelings
And they do not define
They only remind me of the need for the Divine
I can move through those moments when my feelings overwhelm
And know that these feelings are life's little hills

God has allowed me the ability to feel
So that when we reach the peaks, His presence is revealed.
Gods grace is sufficient; His arm of mercy is long
It is in our weakness that He makes us strong.

There are several explanations as to the origin of this expression. According to scientists, whenever a volcano erupts, the sulphur and dust particles that are thrown up into the atmosphere often cause the moon to appear blue for some time. When the volcano on Krakatoa (an island between Java and Sumatra) exploded in 1883, rocks were hurled thirty miles high into the air and dust from the volcano fell nearly three thousands miles away. After this eruption the moon looked blue for several days. Luckily for us, volcanoes don't erupt every day, so a blue moon continues to be a rare phenomenon. Another explanation offered by scholar...

"Don't count your chickens before they hatch"? English Edification Enrichment (20)

What is the meaning and origin of the idiom, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch"? Some people, as soon as they buy a lottery ticket think they are going to win. They begin to make plans as to what they are going to do with the money when they get it. When you tell such a person "not to count your chickens before they hatch" what you are doing is warning him. You are telling the individual not to celebrate prematurely; you are advising him not to count his profits before he has the money in his hand. You are asking him to wait for the lottery results to be announced before he starts making plans. Here are a few examples, * Ask Sam. He may be willing to lend you some money. But don't count your chickens before they hatch. * Stop talking about the places you are going to see. You still haven't got your visa yet. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
