Thoughts to guide us by (For February 2019)

The Philippine Star
February 11, 2019 | 12:00am

February, being the month of hearts, brings to mind the cliche, “a cheerful heart doeth good like a medicine”... which is most appropriate in these trying times when the world spins around in wars, terrorism, environmental, political and financial upheavals, and man’s insatiable greed for wealth and power – never witnessed before!!!

Laughter improves a person’s overall well-being and state of mind. A good dose of laughter lifts our spirits with a happy high that makes us feel good about ourselves and improves our behaviour and attitude towards others and life situations.

Laughter is an expression of a person’s infinite faith in the Almighty God. It is the BEST and CALMEST RESPONSE one can do in the midst of human frailties and grave suffering... akin to a shining star in the dark night, as we struggle to better our world... not just for us, but for fellow pilgrims in our pilgrimage so all may enjoy a happy, peaceful life.

Peace, good health, safety and abundance to us all! - Elvie Punzalan Estavillo [email protected]
