Take a lot of them... Coz honestly, no matter where u end up and with whom... it always end up just the way it should be... Your mistakes made who u are... You learn to grow w/ each choice u make Say how u feel always... Be you!! And be okay with it!!!
Every person has a built-in need to be heard, understood and respected. The key is to remember that respect is a sword that cuts two ways. What we need most comes to us as we give it away to others.
Learning to really listen and developing sensitivity for the needs of others is most often a matter of simple practice. When listening to others, learn to focus on them and give them your full attention. Resist the urge to interrupt or mentally construct your reply and dont be tempted to judge... or instruct. Listening validates the speaker and conveys respect and caring. In giving you shall receive. Respect, whether given or received, is its own reward
Whatever you find most difficult to do --- take in on FIRST. It's best to tackle tougher tasks early in the day when energy and motivation are both at peak levels.
This little trick will help you complete jobs more quickly and with fewer complications. Plus, getting the tough task out of the way gives satisfaction and momentum to the rest of the day.
You may be thinking that you would be happiest with no chores at all. Perhaps you're right, but that would not be the case with most human beings. Work and the satisfaction it brings seems to be a key ingredient in our HUMAN HAPPINESS QUOTIENT
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all the morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall it reminds me that it's not so bad it's not so bad
I drank too much last night, got bills to pay my head just feels in pain I missed the bus and there'll be hell today I'm late for work again and even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the day and then you call me and it's not so bad it's not so bad and
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life
Push the door, I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through then you handed me a towel and all I see is you and even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue because you're near me and
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life
Throw out non-essential numbers. This includes AGE, WEIGHT and HEIGHT. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. If you really need a grouch, there are probably a few relatives to do the job
Keep learning. Learn more about the COMPUTER, crafts, gardening and everything that keeps you active (like SeX) never let the brain go idle Enjoy the simple things. When the children are young, that is all you can afford. When they are in college, that is all that you can afford. When they are grown and you are on retirement, that is all that you can afford! Laugh often, long and loud Laugh until you gasp your breath
Let the tears flow. Endure, grieve and move on. The only person who is with you in your entire life is yourself. Surround yourself with what you love. Whether it is family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, etc. Your home is your refuge
Cherish your health. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
Don’t take guilt trips. Go to the mall, the next city, a foreign country, but not guilt.
Tell the people you love, that you love them, at every opportunity
Hugs are powerful -- they can take the hurt out of a child's scraped knee, heal a long-standing alienation, soothe a troubled soul, comfort the grieving heart, and put a smile on the face of almost any person who gives or receives one
Hugs are an expression of love without words. they speak for themselves, saying... "i care, I accept you, i value you, i've missed you, i like to be with you, i'm here for you."
Hugs are necessary for emotional growth, in fact, children need as many hugs a day as they need glasses of milk. While marriage counselors often prescribe that spouses should hug at least twice a day. Don't forget to take your "hug for happiness" today!
Human touch connects us spiritually and physically to others...so... give and receive more hugs... today and tomorrow!!!

Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have of trying to change others
One of the greatest and most liberating moments in life is the one when we realize we cannot change other people. No matter how much we love them or they love us -- such change is entirely a function of personal will and God's grace
Give love freely and unconditionally, accentuating the strengths and encouraging the good in those around you. Don't become an enabler of hurtful or damaging behavior, but also remember that each person is ultimately responsible for his or her personal choices. People do change -- often profoundly and genuinely -- but such change must come from within
The only one you can effectively change is...yourself...so...give up the idea of... changing others!
Few actions require so little and give back so much as a SMILE! Your SMILE to a stranger may be the only bright spot in that person's day... and there's a bonus in that SMILE for you as well... That's the great thing about SMILES they inspire happiness in both the receiver and the sender...
Add the "SMILE FACTOR" to your daily routine for one week. SMILE when you pass someone... SMILE at the folks in the elevator... SMILE -- SMILE -- SMILE! You are sure to find your world less intimidating... your interactions with others more satisfying... and your personal happiness... growing
If there’s one thing in your life now That’s missing – it could be "love" It could be that you’re looking for the love Or a new love or wish to renew an old love. Whatever it is you’re about to do – GOODLUCK!!!
Love is such ... that it is wise And knows when to ask, When not to stop, and when to let go without having to regret about it.
Love is such…that it is kind and gentle; It speaks softly; it forgives divinely. It is thoughtful of the other; It looks to the need of the other And it gives completely Without asking to be repaid.
But whatever love is It should not be of the hurting kind. Love is trusting the other and being Sincere in all ways.
Love is a hug A kiss a whisper To cheer the heart of the other
Many are the times I've thought You're wonderful to know, Many are the smiles you've brought To days that come and go, Many are the things you've said To make me feel just fine, And many are the times I've hope You'd Be My Valentines!
With deep affection meant for YOU I sent this Valentine Because it means the world to share Your hopes and dreams with mine -- That's why I wish you happines And blessings set apart And want to say that all my love Is yours Alone, SWEETHEART!!!
***i digged in my old chest last night... and i found this old valentine's card... given to me by my ex ... in the year of our lord 1976... i was smiling while reading it... shrugged my shoulder...and put the card away... thinking that love really do fade away... and that nothing in this world is permanent... but CHANGE
