    Hey, brothers and sisters!

    I thought it would be a good idea for us to start a thread to offer words of encouragement to any of our brothers and sisters who may be having a bad day, or going through rough times in their lives. I hope this hasn't been done before, but knowing us and our love for spreading happiness, I wouldn't be surprised if it has, lol. So... feel free to share any positive/encouraging quotes, songs, or words that you may have. [​IMG]

    I'll attempt to start off... I'm kinda nervous, lol. :p One song that I like to listen to during bad times is George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass." It always reminds me to look past the bad times I'm in, because... well, "all things must pass," lol. My favourite verse from that song is this one:
    "Now the darkness only stays the night-time
    In the morning it will fade away
    Daylight is good at arriving at the right time
    Its not always going to be this grey"

    Peace and love to you, my brothers and sisters! And if you're feeling down, I hope things start to look up for you really soon! [​IMG] We're all sending positive vibes your way! [​IMG]

    lol, I can't think of much to say either, but I was hoping some of you guys could... 'cause I think if I were having a bad day, seeing kind words from my brothers and sisters here might cheer me up. So...

    I love you, no matter who you are! :)
    And remember, "bad days happen to everyone, even in Australia" (lol, has anyone else read "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day?" We read it in my AP English class in 12th grade, lol. :p) But, yeah, bad days happen to everyone, and you just have to try to hang on, because eventually, the sun starts to shine again. :sunny:

    Never give up, because you are all freaking AMAZING people!!

    here's one for ya, by steely dan, "any major dude will tell you"

    i never seen you looking so bad my funky one
    you tell me that your superfine mind has come undone

    any major dude with half a heart surely will tell you my freind
    any minor world that breaks apart falls together again
    when the demon is at your door
    in the morning it won't be there no more
    any major dude will tell you

    have you ever seen a squonks tears? well, look at mine
    the people on the street have all seen better times

    any major dude with half a heart surly will tell you my freind
    any minor world that breaks apart falls together again
    when the demon is at your door
    in the morning it won't be there no more
    any major dude will tell you

    i can tell you all i know, the where to go ,the what to do
    you can try to run but you can't hide from what's inside of you

    any major dude with half a heart surely will tell you my freind
    any minor world that breaks apart falls together again
    when the demon is at your door
    in the morning it won't be there no more
    any major dude will tell you

    Kaleidoscope - bless the executioner

    Bless the executioner for he knows not what he does
    Take the hangman into yourself, he is afraid of blood
    Take the soldier to the sea, let him sleep upon the sand
    And give the axe-man sympathy for he hates his own hands

    Give the torturer a break, he is really very shy
    Frown not at the man behind the gun for he is afraid to die
    Bless the soldier and every man upon the battle field
    Each one would like to be home, each one knows he will be killed

    Though death is so unnecessary, tradition feels it must
    Condemn a man to die or elseways be turned into dust
    Officials feel that they are gods and must give all they can give
    But each one of us is God himself and has every right to live

    Always smile at the mask of hate for it covers a sad face
    Pacify the nervous, put them gently in their place
    Show children to the old man who speaks only of his war
    And then kiss Death upon the cheek, let it think for ever more


    This song always makes me think things aren't as bad as they seem, and if they are, they may not be bad on purpose.

    this is an exellent idea. I dont have anything really to say to encourage anybody, except, follow your heart and the positive vibes, sometimes the positive signs tend to show themself when your feeling down.
