Funny Quotes about Ripened

I Did Not Die
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn's rain,
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
- Anonymous

If you have an emotional reaction in the presence of someone,
your heart is telling you that you have
not resolved your issues with them.

about why you behave the way you do.
Stop blaming your behavior on other people
and take responsibility for your emotional reactions.

who have hurt or wounded you
it would be possible to be in control of your behavior
instead of being in reaction to other people all of the time.

a constant emotional roller-coaster of pain, anger, and jealousy!
That would be bliss!

Not just today, but EVERY DAY for the rest of your life!
