ANXIETY

"An anxious heart weighs a man down,
but a kind word cheers him up."
Proverbs 12:25

"So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
Matthew 6:34

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"
Matthew 6:25-27

"Cast your cares on the LORD
and he will sustain you;
he will never let the righteous fall."
Psalm 55:22

"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me."
John 14:1

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Matthew 11:28-30

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take."
Proverbs 3:5-6

SOLACE

“Come let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with love .”
Proverbs 7:18

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
John 14:27

I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.
Psalm 4:8

I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
John 14:18

A FLIGHT

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step."
Lao Tzu

JOURNEY
Lea Salonga

Half the world is sleeping,
half the world's awake
half can hear their hearts beat
half just hear them break


I am but a traveler, in most every way
Ask me what you want...to know

What a journey it has been
And the end is not in sight
But the stars are out tonight
and they're bound to guide my way


When they're shining on my life
I can see a better day
I won't let the darkness in,
what a journey it has been.

I have been to sorrow
I have been to bliss
Where I'll be tomorrow,
I can only guess

Through the darkest desert
Through the deepest snow,
Forward always forward, I go..

What a journey it has been
and the end is not in sight
But the stars are out tonight
and they're bound to guide my way

When they're shining on my life
I can see a better day
I won't let the darkness in,
what a journey it has been...

Forward, always forward...
Onward, always up...
Catching every drop of hope
In my empty cup

What a journey it has been
And the end is not in sight
But the stars are out tonight
and they're bound to guide my way

When they're shining on my life
I can see a better day
I won't let the darkness in,
what a journey it has been...

What a journey it has been...

To get through the hardest journey we need take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping"
~Chinese Proverb

JOURNEY

A new journey will unfold this weekend for Dankey...
life is short, life is priceless...
our life's journey is endless...

Dankey is getting ready for another life's journey

THE JOURNEY OF LIFE
Sylvia Chidi

Dankey, busy in packing all his stuffs

The journey of life begun
That fateful day I was born
My eyes opened up blissfully to the sun
My soul, heart and brain emerged as one
Behold my journey had begun!

This little child in time has grown
Yes! Time has flown, time has flown
A lot has been learnt on my very own

he's making sure everything is ready

Life has been a mystifying journey
With every up and down
With tears and laughter
With hate and love
With stupidity and wisdom
With enemies and friends
But even in my journey of frustration
I have found a means of celebration
In my toilsome exploration to my fateful destination

Tick tock, the clock goes on
Minute by minute, then hourly
Month by month then yearly
Tick tock, and in my journey
I have searched, questioned and answered
Whilst walking painfully along many paths
Sometimes requesting protection
Seeking from above immunization
When hit by obstacles in locations

all stuffs in??? double check please...

But I am still on this journey
Shaking hands with the sad and merry
My passion for life which was once raw
Is now confined within the Almighty’s law
For life's journey itself never ends
Once you have reached the end of each road
Uplifting off your entire cloggy load
Be it in a hot summer or a winter’s cold
Behold! A new journey will unfold


Follow Dankey, as he continue another interesting and awe-inspiring journey...

SPRING

Spring is a season of hope, a season of changes, a season of new aspirations, a season of fresh start, and a season of life.

A sea of Tulips in the middle of Spring

SPRING

A new Spring for Lokey

Spring is here
my garden burst forth
and once again, the birds
are heading North.

Buds start blooming
on the deciduous trees.
The sky opens up
bringing rain down on the leaves.

The meadows turn into
beautiful green carpets.
With flecks of different flowers
you will see in markets.

A Spring is life, a spring is hope...

The snow is gone,
and the days get longer.
People venture outside
as the sun shines stronger.

Yes, spring is a yearly gift to us,
after the long winter season.
So, just enjoy this time
you don't have to have a reason.

NEW YORK

Most of the time Dankey is wondering...what life awaits him?...where he had been and where he is going to?...
He wonders of being to places he's never been to...

If there would be one place Dankey would love to explore...

it's the BIG apple....NEW YORK...

Empire State of Mind II (Broken Down)

Oooh oooh, New York (2x)

Grew up in a town,
That is famous as a place of movie scenes
Noise is always loud
There are sirenes all around
And the streets are mean
If I could make it here
I could make it anywhere
That's what they say
Seeing my face in lights
Or my name in marquees found down Broadway

Even if it ain't all it seems
I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from

Chorus
New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York

On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew
Ladies work so hard
Such a melting pot on the corner selling rock
Preachers pray to God
Hail a gypsy cab
Takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger
For more than from an empty fridge

I'm going to make it by any means
I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from

Chorus
New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York

Chorus
One hand in the air for the big city
Street lights, big dreams, all looking pretty
No place in the world that can compared
Put your lighters in the air
Everybody say yeah, yeah yeaah

Chorus
New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of

There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York

Someday...one day...Dankey will conquer the BIG apple...:)

TRIP

“You were tired out by the length of your road, yet you did not say, ' It is hopeless.' You found renewed strength, therefore you did not faint."
Isaiah 57:10

Dankey off the road

ROAD TRIP
Dandy

his first road trip

...So how about we escape this place,
get out, get on, get gone
and bid goodbye, so long, to this life we're caught up in.

Lets go, come run away with me,
this sadness we'll defy.
We'll be content from here on out,
no more temporary highs.

So how about we drive away
and block the rear-view mirror.
Gas pedal to the floor board
you'd soon be thinking clearer.

Dankey enjoying the ride

Come with me in the world for once
we'll dodge the tears of pain.
Strange looks may be shot our way
but it's the first time you'll feel sane.
It doesn't matter where we go
as long as we're away from here.
Sit back, relax, let go of the wheel
and for once, just let fate steer.

Run down the middle of the street
and cross that yellow line.
Free to do what we feel is right,
the devil's offer we'll decline.

So take this roadtrip with me,
forget what they all said.
The sign is right in front of you and it reads
"New Life Ahead ----->"

a worthy road trip

…the road is long, the road is wide…got no choice but to take a ride…
…life is not ours, life is short…break the rules and make the most…
…got one life to live thus be sure to enjoy the trip…

MISSING YOU

I miss you when something really good happens,
because you are the one I want to share it with.
I miss you when something is troubling me,
because you are the one who understands me so well.

I miss you when I laugh and cry
because i know that you are the one
that makes my laughter grow and my tears disappear.

I miss you all the time,
but I miss you most when i lay awake at night
and think of all the wonderful times we spent with each other
for those were some of the best times of my life .

MISSING YOU NOW

Michael Bolton

I talk to you but it’s not the same as touchin’ you
And every time you whisper my name, I wanna run to you
We’ll be together, it won’t be long, it won’t be long
But it feels like forever, and it’s hard to be strong

Chorus:
Baby ’cause I’m missing you now
And it’s drivin’ me crazy
How I’m needin’ you baby
I’m missing you now
Can’t wait till I’m alone with you
To show you how I’m missing you now

Wishin’ you were here by my side is all that I can do
Got my arms around my pillow at night, they should be
Holdin’ you
Thought I was stronger, how could I know, how could
I know
I can’t take this much longer, it’s so hard on my soul

Chorus:

Baby I just can’t wait, till I see your face
Chase away this loneliness inside
When you’re close to my heart, right here in my arms
Then and only then, will I be satisfied
I’m missing you now
We’ll be together, it won’t be long, it won’t be long
But it feels like forever, and it’s hard to be strong

BROTHERS AND SISTERS

"Like branches on a tree we grow in different directions yet our roots remain as one. Each of our lives will always be a special part of the other." -Author Unknown



brothers and sisters are best of friends

 FRIENDS FOR LIFE

Robin Lyn Davis

when you’re in a family
there should be some unity
between a sister and a brother
your always there for one another
you stand by each other’s side
secrets are not kept inside
as you talk into the night
to help keep problems out of sight
keeping promises that are made
you show your love will never fade
out of this relationship
you've both built up since you were kids
your older now and move away
but reminisce about the days
growing into best of friends
and good times that will never end
because of all this dedication
there wasn’t any situation
that you couldn’t overcome
you worked it out then had more fun

brothers and sisters unite as one

brothers and sisters share what they have

brothers and sisters play together

brothers and sisters support each other

brothers and sisters comfort each other

brothers and sisters understand one another

memories shared with brothers and sisters were treasured for life

DESTINY

…I believe that all things that belong to us were really meant for us… I consider each Teddy bear that was given to me as ‘heaven sent’… like the people who entrusted their Teddies to me…
…from tons of Teddy bears in the bear shop only ‘one’ will be chosen… and from there another Teddy bear adventure begins…

…a new life, a new story, a new adventure with ME!!!

…were together by fate… by destiny…

this is Lokey,

a spare bear from my Christmas presents

for my nieces and nephews (Christmas 2008)

but my most loved and treasured bear

this is Jonathan from Bahrain.. a gift from my cousin from Saudi Arabia

this is Jonathan from Bahrain..

a gift from my cousin from Saudi Arabia

Because of you
I believe in destiny.
Otherwise, however in this crazy world,
busy, jumbled-up world
did we ever managed to get together?
There I was, going along
doing my everyday stuff,
meeting people, hanging out,
but with no sparks flying anywhere.
Then you came into the picture
and ka-POW!
Everything changed in a moment.
The stars were aligned,
and fate brought us together.
But the best part?
All the time since that-
the delicious process of discovery…
Of finding new things
about you to love.
Oh, yes.
Destiny knows what it’s doing.
