Thoughts and Feelings
I often ask myself, “What do I choose to be today: bud, blossom, or withered stem?
The thoughts and feelings I dwell on will determine my choice:
The bud is my tomorrow…
The withered stem is my yesterday…
The blossom is NOW — this moment.
The choices I make today will determine what buds are made tomorrow.
Out of the cocoon of my yesterdays
comes what is happening today.
Today, I can choose once again to be reborn
into a new sense of awareness.
Again, I ask myself, “What will I choose?”
What do you want to choose?
Would you rather cling to those withered stems,
refusing to let go because of some worth you attached to them?
Could they ever again produce a bud or blossom?
Not likely.
Remember the good those stems once brought to you,
and choose to begin today to look for buds and blossoms.
They are all around you, if you but look.
They come in all colors, shapes, and sizes.
Widen your horizons and focus!

Superb blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress
or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that
I’m totally confused .. Any ideas? Thank you!

My host is http://www.wordpress.com, which has free themes and lots of online guides. I used Mystique, which I modified, using the guides. It is mobile friendly. It is reasonably priced. There is a double layer of security if you have a smart phone. You might want to check it out. All you have to do is “follow the bouncing ball.” It is very easy to do. No coding knowledge is required. Follow your passion and blog. Write it down and get it out there! Happy blogging! Enjoy your day! 🙂

I believe what you posted made a lot of sense. However,
what about this? what if you added a little content? I mean,
I don’t want to tell you how to run your website, but suppose you added a headline to
possibly grab a person’s attention? I mean Thoughts and Feelings |
upliftingthoughts4u is kinda plain. You ought to glance at Yahoo’s home page
and watch how they create post titles to grab people to open the links.
You might try adding a video or a pic or two to grab readers excited about everything’ve written.
In my opinion, it could bring your blog a little livelier.

It is hard to find. If you are using wordpress.com, go to Appearance, and then Widgets – down at the bottom is Twitter Timeline. You will have to add it to your menu wherever you want it. You have to follow the directions to link it up to Twitter and WordPress. I am sorry, but that is all I know.
