Play A Game With Me; Would you?
Greetings everybody
I hope all is well.
I played this game that I am about to share with you.
The Game is not from me and I do not know who the game is originally from. But it is a beautiful game.
Ok, letโs play.
[A pregnant woman wakes up and comes out of her bedroom. She goes to the fridge and opens a can of tuna, a soda, yogurt, and cookies.
What did she open first?]
I lost: to Charlotte ๐
Your turn to play now ๐
Do you have your answer?
Keep thinking about it.
Are you really really sure of your answer?
Ok if you are really really really sure of your answer. Letโs now check and see if you have the right answer.
Ok, the right answer is ready:
Her Eyes.
The very first thing she opens is her eyes.
Lol I know
If you had the right answer good for you, seriously very good for you.
I had the wrong answer and I was sure I had the right answer .
But most importantly this little game made me feel or reinforce even more right there that it is very important in this life to appreciate the blessing or the grace that is opening your eyes first thing in the morning.
Most of us so easily go about our daily life thinking or assuming that tomorrow I will wake up , take a bath , go to work , travel, eat etc.
However that is not true, it is important as this game is trying to teach, or reinforce; it is important to appreciate the gift of life at the moment or appreciate the gift of life first thing as you open your eyes in the morning.
Being alive as mentioned to me in the past by an acquaintance is not something that you study and pass an exam for, it is not by merit because you deserve it, it is not something you can buy.
Be alive and by alive I meant living and breathing is simply a privilege.
Nothing is worth living.
When you understand that being alive is a privilege, it is not something that you can apply for.
When you see your life as a privilege like you have been chosen among so many to still be here.
Then the saying [ You are here for a purpose or a reason will now very much make sense to you].
When you see your life as a privilege, an ultimate daily gift then you will realize how much you are blessed no matter what is going on.
If things are bad right now for you please hang on, because in this life things change sometimes as a matter of even within a minute or even a second.
i know that sometimes change can take a while like days and years. But you know what for me change is inevitable, for me the only certainty and guarantee in this life is change.
So like you have already heard in the past i am sure, it is ok if you are hearing this for the first time: while you can still open your eyes make the best of it.
I went to a Bat mitzvah and the eulogy of the mom to the child that was having his Bat mitzvah was: ( when you were smaller, you used to tell me, mom i close my eyes it is dark when i go to sleep, and when I open my eyes in the morning, i see light. mom it is a miracle.)
A very powerful figure in history stated: ( copy the children when it comes to how to behave in this life, they somewhat have the answer on how to carry on in this life or in order words do not completely lose your children eyes as an adult or do not loose completely the way children see life as you become an adult ). That powerful figure in the history of humanity was right; The child at this bar mitzvah already knew that at a very tender age, he witnesses daily on awaking a miracle every day.
How powerful is that? We, adults, are waiting for big miracles to happen. We forget or do not even see or appreciate the miracle of closing our eyes at night and seeing light again upon waking in the morning.
Opening your eyes daily for the sake of this Grand Ma Old Tales health website means being given the ultimate privilege to still be among the living and not the dead.
So please do not take your life for granted;I am sure you have heard that Grandma Old Tales in the past countless times. Grandma knows what she is talking about, i think. Cherish your life.
They say you live once kind of true. But I have heard and I agree more with [ we live everyday and we die once].
I washed part of a movie a long time ago, i do not know what was the title of the movie, but i liked this moral i got from that movie :[he was a father talking to his son: {son when you are still alive you have a chance to amend or have an opportunity to fix any wrong that you have caused, but with death, it is finished, you can no longer amend anything, you can not turn back from it. It is irreversible. You can no longer have a chance to correct what was done wrong; that is why one should not kill. So true.ย
The quote i want to share now is my favorite quote : [ย As long as there is life, there is hope].
So like they say: ( Count your blessings) or i will say count your daily little miracles, do not just wait on big miracles.
And like they also say: {instead of complaining about anything, learn to be grateful for everything}
I will end with this quote from Confucius that I read somewhere : [ We have two lives and the second life begins when we realize we only have one life].
Take good care
Kind and warm regards
The quotes are not originally from me
Please excuse the typos
If you want, type your answer for the game in the comments, also add if you were very sure of your answer, did you lose to me? or did you have the right answer? Lol
Finally, This article i dedicate to my mother who carried me nine months in her womb and went through labor all so that i can have my life today. I am grateful and thankful for all your love mom and i love you, mom.
*I recently read this article , I am sharing an adapted version of the article here with you guys.
I liked it, to me it illustrated that you can not pass an exam to have the privilege to be alive, you can not buy the privilege to be alive, and there is nothing you can do or say so that you deserve and merit to be alive. You be alive right it is just plain simple a miracle.
[The story is as follows:
Alexander the Great, a conqueror of many kingdoms, fell ill, which led him to his deathbed. He gathered his generals and told them, “I will depart from this world soon; I have three wishes, please carry them out without fail.”
The king asked his general to abide by these last wishes:
1) The king of Macedon said, โMy physicians alone must carry my coffin.โ
2) “I desire that when my coffin is transported to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard shall display the wealth I collected,” the king said.
3) “My third and last wish is that both my hands hang out of my coffin,” Alexander said.
The generals agreed to abide by their king’s last wishes and asked him why he was doing so. Alexander said, “I want the world to know the three lessons I have just learned.” The king interpreted his wishes and continued, “I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can cure anybody. They are helpless in front of death.”
The king described his second Wish: “I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me. Let people know that wealth is nothing but dust.” Thirdly, I wish all to know that I came empty-handed into this world, and I will go empty-handed.”
I agree with Alexander’s three wishes; however, I beg to differ on the last Wish, that you leave with nothing. We go without “things,” but we can leave with memories of people we have encountered. We can leave our mark on the hearts of the people we meet at work, attend school with, and more. If this is how riches in life are genuinely valued, what’s your worth?ย
A Moment Can Last a Lifetime โ Alexander the Great’s Last Three Wishes.

Participer A Ce Jeu Avec Moi ; Voulez Vous?

Salutations ร Vous
J espรจre que vous allez bien.
J ai participรฉ et jouer a ce jeu que je partage avec vous .
Le jeu n est pas de moi et je sais pas de qui il est , mais c est un trรจs beau jeu.
Ok Jouont.
[Une femme enceinte se rรฉveille et sort de sa chambre.] Elle va au frigo et ouvre une boite de thon, un soda, un yaourt et un biscuit. Quโest-ce quโelle a ouvert en premier ?]
Une fois de plus,Jโai perdu contre:Charlotte๐
ร vous de jouer maintenant ๐
Vous avez une rรฉponse?
Continuez d y penser
รtes vous bien sure de votre rรฉponse?
Ok ci vous bien sure de votre rรฉponse .
Voyont maintenant c est quoi la rรฉponse .
Ok la bonne rรฉponse est :
Ses yeux.
Ce qu elle a ouvert en premier c est ses yeux.
Je sais ( je rigole)
Ci vous avez la bonne rรฉponse trรจs bien, vraiment trรจs bien.
J avais pas la bonne rรฉponse, et j รฉtais mรชme en plus sure d avoir la bonne rรฉponse .
Plus important encore , c’est que ce petit jeu a renforcรฉ en moi encore plus au moment prรฉcis oรน j’ai eu la rรฉponse, qui est qu’elle a ouvert ses yeux en premier; cela a renforcรฉ en moi l’importance d’apprรฉcier le simple fait d’ouvrir d’abord en premier ses yeux ร son rรฉveil le matin.
Tous les jours par routine on vaque juste ร nos occupations . On assume , demain je vais me lever, me laver, m’habiller, aller au travail , manger, marcher etc
Cependant c est pas le cas ; c est important comme essaille d enseigner et reenforce ce jeu, c est trรจs important d apprรฉcier le cadeau qu` est la vie ร ce moment prรฉcis ou encore apprรฉciรฉ le cadeau d รชtre en vie dรจs que l on ouvre ses yeux premiรจre chose ร son rรฉveil.
รtre vivant comme รงa m avait รฉtรฉ mentione par une connaissance , n est pas quelque chose que l on รฉtudie et aprรจs on passe un examen pour le mรฉriter . On n est pas vivant parceque on le mรฉrite plus que celui qui est dรฉcรฉdรฉ , รชtre vivant n est pas quelque chose que l on peu acheter, c est quelque a laquelle on peu postule pour.
รtre vivant et par vivant, je veux dire รชtre capable de respirer, est simplement un privilรจge.
Rien ne vaut la vie .ย Quand vous comprenez quโรชtre en vie est un privilรจge .
Quand vous voyez la vie comme un privilรจge , quand vous comprenez chaque matin ร votre rรฉveil que vous avez รฉtรฉ choisi parmi des billions d’รชtre humains sur Terre pour รชtre des vivants en ce jour . Alors ร ce moment le proverbe qui dit: [ vous รชtes vivant parceque vous avez une mission] maintenant commence ร avoir un sens.
Quand vous commencez ร voir votre vie comme un privilรจge , alors vous rรฉalisez combien vous รชtes bรฉnis ,peu importe vos circonstances. Ci les choses vont mal pour vous en ce moment tenez bon, les choses changent dans cette vie constamment parfois ca n en tient qu a une minute ou une seconde et tout peu changer .ย [ On dit aprรจs la pluie le beau temps]. Je sais parfois ca peu prendre du temps pour que les choses changent. Mais pour moi la seule garantie dans cette vie c est le changement.ย
Quand vous รชtes encore en vie, donnez le meilleur de vous-mรชme et profitez des moments de la vie de votre mieux.ย
J’รฉtais ร une Bar mitzvah et l’euloge de la mรจre de l’enfant qui recevait Bar mitzvah รฉtait : [Quand tu รฉtais petitย , tu aimais dire maman quand je ferme mes yeux il fait noir et quand je me rรฉveille le matin je vois la lumiรจre, maman c’est un miracle].
Une personne trรจs importante de l’histoire de l’humanitรฉ avait dit : [copier les enfants, ils ont la clรฉ de savoir comment se comporter face ร la vie, ou, en d’autres termes, ne perdez pas complรจtement vos yeux d’enfant ou ne perdez pas complรจtement comment les enfants perรงoivent la vie]. L Enfant en question ici ร son jeune รขge , avait dรฉjร compris que tous les jours il est le tรฉmoin d un miracle .
Tres profond n est ce pas . Nous, les adultes, trรจs souvent, attendons de voir oรน cherchons de gros miracles. On ne rรฉalise mรชme pas oรน n apprecie mรชme plus le miracle d avoir ouvert ses yeux le matin ร son rรฉveille .
Ouvrir ses yeux tous les jours pour ce site web de santรฉ Julie Grandma Old Tale , veut dire simplement รชtre compte parmi les vivants et non les morts .
S il vous plait ne prenez pas votre vie pour un acquis , chรฉrissez votre vie. Je crois vous avez dรฉjร entendu ce conseil de Grand Mรจres . Grand mรจre sait de quoi elle parle .
Beaucoup disent on ne vit qu une fois . Mais j’ai entendu et je plus d’accord avec [ย On vit tous les jours, mais on meurt une foisย ].
Il y a trรจs longtemps j avais vu une partie d un film , je connais pas le titre du film. J avais aime la lesson de moral du film ; c est un pรจre qui parlait ร son fils en lui disant:[ fils quand on est encore vivant on a une chance de fixer ce qu on a fait de mal , mais une fois mort c est fini ,c est irrรฉversible, on a plus cette opportunitรฉ de penser qu on peu rรฉparer le mal fait, voila pourquoi il faut pas oter une vie]. Trรจs vrai.
Mon dicton favoris :[ Tant qu il y a vie , il y a espoir ].
Donc, comme vous avez dรฉjร entendu dans le passรฉ compter vos bรฉnรฉdictions ou encore faites attention ร tous vos petits miracles de tous les jours.
Et comme on dit aussi :[ Ne passez pas le temps ร vous plaindre et voir ce que vous n avez pas , mais apprรฉciez et cherissez plutรดt tout ce que vous avez] .
Je termine avec une quote de Confucius que j’ai lu quelque part :[ย On a deux vies , la deuxiรจme vie commence quand on rรฉalise vraiment qu on a qu une seule vie ].
Prenez bien soin de vous
Cordialement ร vous .
