If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so that I never have to live without you!!!!

A talk when your lonely,

A smile when you’re glad.

A help when you’re weary,

A hope when you’re sad.

A hand when you need it,

A laugh when you’re blue.

A guide when you’re searching,

A joy all life through.

Don't curse the darkness-...light a candle

                                                            Chinese proverb.

• Beautiful young people are accidents of nature. Beautiful old people are works of art.

• Many people will walk in and out of your life; but only true friends will  leave footprints in your heart.

• Dream your own dream, and follow your own star. There wouldn’t be a heaven full of stars if were all meant to wish on the same one. There will always be dreams greater, or more humbler than your own; but there will never be a dream exactly like your own; for you are unique, and more wondrous than you know! Do your best. There are no shortcuts on the way to a dream, so give all that you have to all that you do.

• To handle yourself, use your head. To handle others, use your heart.

• From tomorrow on I shall be sad.

From tomorrow on.

Not today. Today I will be glad.

And every day

No matter how bitter it may be,

I shall say:

From tomorrow on I shall be sad.

Not today.

• It is impossible to be creative with your life and to worry about what people think of you –so choice is which one to give up.

• Sometimes in life, you find a special friend, someone who changes your life just by being part of it. Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop, someone who makes you believe there really is some good in the world. Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is forever friendship. When you're down & the world seems dark and empty, your forever friend lifts you up in spirit and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full. Your Forever Friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times and the confused times. If you turn to walk away, your Forever Friend follows. If you lose your way, your Forever Friend guides you & cheers you on. Your Forever friend holds your hand & tells you that everything is going to be okay. And if you find such a friend, you feel happy and complete, because you need not worry. You have a Forever Friend for life, and forever has no end.....

What is a friend??

A friend is like a flower,
A rose to be exact.
Or maybe like a brand new gate,
That never comes unlatched.
A friend is like an owl,
Both beautiful and wise.
Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost,
Who's spirit never dies.
A friend is like those blades of grass,
You can never mow,
Standing tall and proud,
In a perfect little row.
A friend is like a heart that goes
Strong until the end.
Where would we be in this world,
If we didn't have a friend....

• If all my friends were to jump off a bridge, I wouldn't jump with them, I'd
  be at the bottom to catch them~*~

• When I'm blue I can count on you,
  When your sad I'm there for you,
  When I'm angry you brighten my way,
  When your upset I'll brighten your day,
  When I'm joyous, well you are too,
  When I'm confused you straighten my path,

  When we're together I can see, we were friends...
  MEANT TO BE!!

• The greatest pain in life
  is not to die,
  but to be ignored.
  To lose the person you love so much
  to another who doesn't care at all.
  To have someone you care so about so much
  throw a party...
  and not tell you about it.
  When your favorite person on earth
  neglects to invite you to his graduation.
  To have people think that you don't care.
  
  The greatest pain in life,
  is not to die,
  but to be forgotten.
  To be left in the dust after another's great achievement.
  To never get a call from a friend,
  just saying "hi".
  When you show someone your innermost thoughts
  and they laugh in your face.
  For friends to always be
  too busy to console you
  when you need someone to lift your spirits.
  When it seems like the only person who cares about you,
  is you.
  
  Life is full of pain,
  but does it ever get better?
  Will people ever care about each other,
  and make time for those who are in need?
  Each of us has a part to play
  in this great show we call life.
  Each of us has a duty to mankind
  to tell our friends we love them.
  If you do not care about your friends
  you will not be punished.
  You will simply be ignored...
  forgotten...
  as you have done to others.
                                           This poem was written by a young girl who committed suicide three
  years ago. Perhaps if the people surrounding her had shown a little more
  love, and had paid more attention to her, her death could have been
  prevented. Remember that when going through life, you can't judge a sad,
  lonely, or suicidal person by their facial expression. You need to get to
  know each person you come in contact with, cherish your friendship with them,
  and show them that you care.
                             

• when no one is there for you
  and you think no one cares
  when the whole world walks out on you
  and you think you're alone
  I'll be there
  
  when the one you care about the most
  could care less about you
  when the one you gave your heart to
  throws it in your face
  I'll be there
  
  when the person you trusted betrays you
  when the person you share all your memories with
  cant even remember
  your birthday
  I'll be there*
  
  when all you need is a friend
  to listen to you whine
  when all you need is someone
  to catch your tears
  I'll be there
  
  when your heart hurts so bad you cant even breath
  when you just want to crawl up and die
  I'll be there
  
  when you start to cry after hearing that sad song
  when the tears just won't stop falling down
  I'll be there
  
  So you see I'll be there until the end
  this is a promise I can make
  If you ever need me
  just give me a call and...
  I'll be there

• Hello Operator, does Heaven have a phone number?
  Mommy went to Heaven, but I need her here today,
  My tummy hurts and I fell down, I need her right away.
  Operator can you tell me how to find her in this book?
  Is heaven in the yellow part, I don't know where to look.
  I think my daddy needs her too, at night I hear him cry.
  I hear him call her name sometimes, but I really don't know why.
  Maybe if I call her, she will hurry home to me.
  Is Heaven very far away, is it across the sea?
  She's been gone a long, long time she needs to come home now!
  I really need to reach her, but I simply don't know how.
  Help me find the number please, is it listed under "Heaven"?
  I can't read these big big words, I am only seven.
  I'm sorry operator, I didn't mean to make you cry,
  Is your tummy hurting too, or is there something in your eye?
  If I call my church maybe they will know.
  Mommy said when we need help that's where we should go.
  I found the number to my church tacked up on the wall.
  Thank you operator, I'll give them a call.

• Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived:
  Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others including Love. One
  day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all
  repaired their boats and left.
  
  Love wanted to persevere until the last possible moment. When the island
  was almost sinking, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by
  Love in a grand boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?"
  Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my
  boat. There is no place here for you."
  
  Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel,
  "Vanity, please help me!" "I can't help you Love. You are all wet and
  might damage my boat." Vanity answered.
  
  Sadness was close by so Love asked for help, "Sadness, let me go with
  you." "Oh....Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"
  
  Happiness passed by Love too, but she was so happy that she did not even
  hear when Love called her!
  
  Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come Love, I will take you." It was an
  elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that he even forgot to ask the
  elder his name. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went his own way.
  
  Love realizing how much he owed the elder and asked Knowledge, another
  elder, "Who helped me?" "It was Time," Knowledge answered. "Time?" asked
  Love. "But why did Time help me?" Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and
  answered, "Because, only Time is capable of understanding how great Love
  is."

• A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming
  home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his
  parents from San Francisco. "Mom and Dad, I'm coming
  home, but I've a favor to ask. I have a friend I'd like
  to bring home with me." "Sure," they replied, "we'd love
  to meet him."
  
  "There's something you should know the son continued,
  "he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on
  a land mind and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere
  else to go, and I want him to come live with us."
  
  "I'm sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find
  somewhere to live." "No, Mom and Dad, I want him to
  live with us." "Son," said the father, "you don't know
  what you're asking. Someone with such a handicap
  would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives
  to live, and we can't let something like this interfere with
  our lives. I think you should just come home and forget
  about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his own."
  
  At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents
  heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however,
  they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their
  son had died after falling from a building, they were told.
  The police believed it was suicide. The grief-stricken
  parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city
  morgue to identify the body of their son. They recognized
  him, but to their horror they also discovered something
  they didn't know, their son had only one arm and one leg.
  
  The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it
  easy to love those who are good-looking or fun to have
  around, but we don't like people who inconvenience us
  or make us feel uncomfortable. We would rather stay
  away from people who aren't as healthy, beautiful, or
  smart as we are.
  
  Thankfully, there's someone who won't treat us that way.
  Someone who loves us with an unconditional love that
  welcomes us into the forever family, regardless of how
  messed up we are.
  
  Tonight, before you tuck yourself in for the night, say a
  little prayer that God will give you the strength you need
  to accept people as they are, and to help us all be more
  understanding of those who are different from us!!!
