True Friend

You're a true friend, 

that I want you to know, 

Our love for each other 

has helped us to grow.

We've been through some tough times, 

but we've made it through, 

The only one I ever trusted, yes, that was you.

Joke of the Week: Deadly Fruit

One day in the forest, 3 guys were just hiking along a trail when all of a sudden, a huge pack of indians attaked them and knocked them out.

When they woke up, they were at the leader of the tribe's throne.

The chief then said "All of your lives may be spared if you can find ten of one fruit and bring them back to me."

So after a while the first man returned with 10 apples. The cheif then ordered him to stick all ten of them up his butt without making any expression at all on his face. He had a little bit of trouble with the first one and started crying while trying to put the next one in. He was soon killed.

Later, the next guy came in with 10 grapes. The cheif soon ordered him to do the same as the first guy. After to the 9th grape, the man started laughing so hard for no apperant reason, and was killed.

The first two guys soon met in heaven and the first guy ask the second, "Why did you start laughing? You only needed one more grape and you'd have gotten away!"

The second guy answered while still laughing, "I couldn't help it. I saw the third guy walking in with pineapples."

All I Need

All I need is

Just a word from you.

Just your sight

And I will have hope.

All I need is

Just a stare

And not a scare.

So I wont fear.

I won't despair

If you are near.

I will be strong.

always got a plan

NEVER underestimate a girl; she's always got a plan

you just forget

you never lose yourself; you just forget who you are

What You Are To Me

~What You Are To Me~

A quick glance, a tender smile

I am caught in a spell

A gentle touch, a warm embrace

I know that all to well

A soft voice, an unspoken love

Across the way I see

A kind face, an inner beauty

That's what you are to me

Appreciating Our Past

It is easy to be negative about past mistakes and unhappiness. But it is much more healing to look at ourselves and our past in the light of experience, acceptance, and growth. Our past is a series of lessons that advance us to higher levels of living and loving. The relationships we entered, stayed in, or ended taught us necessary lessons.


Some of us have emerged from the most painful circumstances with strong insights about who we are and what we want. Our mistakes? Necessary. Our frustrations, failures, and sometimes stumbling attempts at growth and progress? Necessary too. Each step of the way, we learned. We went through exactly the experiences we need to, to become who we are today. Each step of the way, we progressed. Is our past a mistake? No. The only mistake we can make is mistaking that for the truth.
Today, God, help me let go of negative thoughts I may be harboring about my past circumstances or relationships. I can accept, with gratitude, all that has brought me to today.

Friendship sayings:

No man or woman is worth your tears.

The only one who is, will never make you cry.

If you love someone, put their name in a circle, instead of a heart.

Hearts can break, but circles go on forever.

Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you say.

Best friends listen to what you don't .

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.

Don't frown, because you never know who's falling in love with your smile !

It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone and a day to love someone---but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

"If you judge people, you have no time to love them."- Mother Teresa

how different your life would be

It's weird to think about how different your life would be if you never met the people who changed it..

from behind

Hug her 

from behind

 and tell

 her she's

 b e a u t i f u l 

out of your comfort zone

Do something out of your comfort zone for her. If you don't cook, cook.

first time you fall in love

The first time you fall in love it changes your life and no matter how hard you try, the feeling never goes away.

Where are we heading ?

Where are we heading ?

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers;

wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less; we buy more but enjoy it less. 

We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness. 

We drink too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. 

We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; We've added years to life, not life to years. 

We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space; We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we've split the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less; we plan more, but accomplish less. 

We've learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but, lower morals. 

We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; We've become long on quantity, but short on quality. 

These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes. 

These are the days of quick trips, disposable diaper's, throw away morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. Where are we heading ....?

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family an unwise investment indeed.

So what is the morale of the story???

Don't work too hard... and you know what's the full word of family?

FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER, (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU
