I Miss you by Amy Finley – Poetic Flows

I Miss You Poem

By Amy Finley

There are a thousand things
that I love about you.
When I'm with you
I want to take in every moment
And when we're apart
Every moment
feels like forever.

So, when missing you
almost becomes too much
And the distance seems
almost too hard to bear
When my longing for you
Threatens to drive me mad
You help me make it through.

I take comfort in thinking of your smile
like a ray of sunlight bursting through the dark clouds.
I take comfort in thinking of your laughter
Which is more beautiful than a thousand songs.
I take comfort in thinking of your arms round me
A blanket of the sweetest solace in the world.

I take comfort in thinking of your love
That brings light to my soul
and joy to my heart.

My only wish
Aside from being in your arms
Is that you take comfort, too,
In thinking of my love for you.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaArabella Fermor, a 19th-century print after Sir Peter Lely's portrait of her

The Rape of the Lock is a mock-heroic narrative poem written by Alexander Pope.[1] One of the most commonly cited examples of high burlesque, it was first published anonymously in Lintot's Miscellaneous Poems and Translations (May 1712) in two cantos (334 lines); a revised edition "Written by Mr. Pope" followed in March 1714 as a five-canto version (794 lines) accompanied by six engravings. Pope boasted that this sold more than three thousand copies in its first four days. The final form of the poem appeared in 1717 with the addition of Clarissa's speech on good humour. The poem was much translated and contributed to the growing popularity of mock-heroic in Europe.

Law 1: Never Outshine the Master. Always make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please or impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite – inspire fear or insecurity.

Cultivating Generosity: Nurturing the Art of Giving

Welcome to another episode of the Positive Podcast, and today, we're delving into the wonderful world of cultivating generosity. We'll explore practical steps to nurture the art of giving and make generosity a natural part of your life. Get ready to learn how to sow the seeds of kindness and watch them grow.

Understanding Generosity

Definition of Generosity
Before we dive in, let's revisit our definition of generosity—it's the quality of being kind, selfless, and willing to give without expecting anything in return.

Why Cultivate Generosity
Cultivating generosity enriches your life, strengthens connections, and contributes to a more compassionate world. It's a win-win for you and those around you.

The Generosity Mindset
To begin, adopt a generosity mindset. See giving as an opportunity rather than an obligation. Embrace the idea that your actions, no matter how small, can make a positive impact.

Steps to Cultivate Generosity

1. Self-Reflection
Start by reflecting on your values and the causes you care about. What moves you? What issues or people tug at your heartstrings? Understanding your passions will guide your giving.

2. Set Clear Intentions
Set clear intentions for your generosity. Decide how you want to give—whether through your time, resources, or skills. Having a plan will make your giving more purposeful.

3. Start Small
Don't feel pressured to make grand gestures. Begin with small acts of kindness. Every act of generosity, no matter how minor, counts and has a positive impact.

Developing a Generosity Routine

4. Regular Giving
Make generosity a routine by committing to regular acts of giving. Whether it's a monthly donation to a charity or volunteering a few hours each week, consistency matters.

5. Expand Your Circle
Generosity isn't limited to family and friends. Expand your circle of generosity to include strangers, acquaintances, and the wider community. Look for opportunities to help others outside your immediate circle.

Embracing Generosity of Spirit

6. Practice Empathy
Cultivate empathy by actively trying to understand the perspectives and emotions of others. When you can empathize, you're more likely to respond with generosity.

7. Kindness in Everyday Life
Infuse kindness into your everyday interactions. Smile, say thank you, and hold the door for someone. These small gestures create a culture of generosity.

Challenges and Rewards

8. Overcoming Barriers
Acknowledge the potential barriers to generosity, such as fear of scarcity or skepticism about the impact of your actions. Overcome these challenges by focusing on the positive outcomes of giving.

9. Gratitude and Reflection
Regularly reflect on the positive effects of your generosity. Feel grateful for the opportunities you have to give and the connections you've formed. Gratitude reinforces your generosity.

Conclusion
Cultivating generosity is like tending to a garden. It takes time, effort, and care. But as you nurture your giving spirit, you'll witness the beauty of your kindness blooming in the world.
