LIFE GOES ON... BY CHRIS AGUDO

The fact that you are born is an amazing accomplishment.  To know that you were given life, and have a whole lifetime of experiences to go through.  That in itself is amazing, if you really think about it.  I mean there are seven billion plus people on planet earth.  And, you the one who is reading this is apart of that huge number.  That is amazing!

To know that people care about you whether they are family or friends, is also something that we must not forget.  To have our own personalities, beliefs and opinions.  To be individual.  That is amazing.

To have a brain, mind and body.  To have five senses.  To make choices.  That is amazing.

To whom it may concern... By Iliana Agudo

Why do you look so sad? Life isn't so bad. With all the blessings you have, it's a shame that you don't see it. All you have to do is take off those blinders that blind you from seeing all the beauty you have inside you, and all that surround you. Why not give it a chance? If you only see what I see, you would be amazed!!! Why don't you give it a shot. What ever you're worrying about should not be your focus. Just take a look inside you for the things that inspire you. What are you grateful for? That's what you should be looking for. Life is a blessing, why not be in amazement?

LIVING IS SO BIG... People everywhere

Living is so big because I walk around and see people smiling.  I see people together talking.  I hear laughter, I feel good.  Living is so big because I know that what I see is obtainable for me. I feel like that and always will be.

What can bring happiness... By Iliana Agudo

What can bring happiness? 

I believe that our freedom of self worth as a human being and loving ourselves for us is what can bring us happiness. 

Our inner peace of just being one with ourselves brings us happiness. Not the things that we own, but what represents us as who we are down to our existence brings us happiness. 

I would rather have all the contentment of being me, and that in return will bring me happiness. No riches in the world can bring us happiness. Only we can bring our own happiness which starts from within us then it can pour out towards others.

FIVE SENSES... BY Chris Agudo

Five senses..... 

It is human to have five senses, born into five senses.

Hear, smell, taste, touch, Sight.

To be given these gifts is incredible in itself. If you dis-agree try one day without one of them. 

-Close your eyes all day and attempt to walk around everywhere. 

-Do not touch anything all day and attempt to get things done. 

-Hold your nose while eating food and drinks and do not taste. 

-Hold your nose and breath through your mouth, no smell. 

-Cover your ears tightly and attempt to not hear a thing all day. 

It is difficult if you have had all five of these senses your whole life to attempt any of these. Be thankful for all of them because they help us to get through the day, each and everyday.

Worry-free... By Chris Agudo

Two ways you can live your life... with worry or worry-free.  Everything happens for a reason, so don't feel like certain things that happen to you are unfair, because every single challenge you go through in life is meant to happen.

So you can learn and grow from that challenge to get better, eventually to be the best that you can be.

KINDNESS... BY JOHNNY

This is my first article I am submitting, so let me know what anyone thinks.  My name is Johnny and I currently reside in St. Augustine.  I have come to the conclusion that "Kindness" is a powerful thing.

It can lift spirits and make you feel better. 

The thing is...

Society today influences people in not so good ways.  It seems as if people today find it hard to be kind.  Like, it is second nature and if kindness is an act then it can't be done.  

That is what I think a lot of people today think about it.  If only people can truly see the power behind kindness and use it every day, would the world be a better place. 

The way we live... BY Chris Agudo

I went on a walk about a week ago because I wanted not only to get some exercise, but to also be around nature.  I left the house and began to walk up the mountain.  As I was walking, I had gotten calmer and more tranquil with each step I took.

I will add that the sun was setting, so it felt really nice.  I noticed all of the various types of trees and all of the scenery.  There was one particular tree which seemed very old and I felt compelled to go up to it, so I did.  

The tree just was.  I realized that it didn't worry, it didn't complain, it didn't talk, think or move.  Then I thought, "Why can't everyone be like this?  Trees don't worry, complain or think, they just go with the flow."

People should be like that, but in today's world, that is "difficult."  Today we mis-use and abuse technology, we are constantly on our phones, laptops, watching TV, complaining, yelling, arguing, being lazy and not trying.
