"A friend is"
A Friend is someone we turn to when our spirits need a lift.
A friend is someone we treasure. For our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone who fills our lives with beauty, joy, and grace,
makes the world that we live in, a better and happier place.
Thanks for being my friend.



"A to Z= Achieve"

To Achieve Your Dreams, Remember Your A-Z's
A-void negative sources, people, things and habits
B-elieve in yourself. C-onsider things from every angle.
D-on't give up and don't give in.
E-njoy live today: yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come.
F-amily and Friends are hidden treasures. Seek them and enjoy their riches.
G-ive more than you planned to give. H-ang on to your dreams.
I-gnore those who try to discourage you. J-ust do it!
K-eep on trying, no matter how hard it seems. It will get better.
L-ove yourself first and foremost. M-ake it happen.
N-ever lie, cheat or steal. Always strike a fair deal.
O-pen your eyes and see things as they really are. P-ractice makes perfect.
Q-uitters never win and winners never quit.
R-ead, study and learn about everything important in life. S-top procrastination.
T-ake control of your own destiny.
U-nderstand yourself in order to better understand others. V-isualize it
W-ant it more than anything. X-ccelerate your efforts.
Y-ou are unique of all of Nature's creations. Nothing can replace you.
Z-ero in on your target, and go for it!

"Have yourself a Merry 'lil Christmas"

Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Let your heart be light.
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on, our troubles will be miles away.
Here were are as in olden days, happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us, gather near to us once more.
Through the years we all will be together, If the Fates allow.
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

"A miracle"

There's a miracle called Friendship, That dwells in the heart.
You don't know how it happens. Or when it gets it's start.
But you know the special lift it always brings.
You realize that Friendship.....
Is God's most precious gift!

" Desiderata"

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all people.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to all even to the dull and ignorant ;
they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive people,
they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself to others you will become
vain and bitter; there will always be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career,
however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery.
But let not this blind you to the virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love; in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as
perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to
shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline
be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees
and the stars; you have the right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham,
drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

"Footprints"

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to him, and the other belonging to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. Lord, you said that once I decided to follow You, You'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me. The Lord replied "My son. My precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you." Author unknown

"Friendship"

"Friendship is a priceless gift, that can't be bought or sold.
But to have an understanding, it's worth more than diamonds or gold".

"Happy Birthday Baby"

I would like this message to be a lasting reminder of how special you are to me...
A birthday is a day of happiness, a day for sharing feelings, and a time for celebrating a very important person. And YOUR birthday is an especially important day... because it's a time to wish you a wonderful year ahead. And it's a time to wish you a treasure of happiness from the year gone by. And it's a time to give you a lasting reminder that you are very special to me... and you always will be.

"Heaven"

"Ideals"

" Ideals are like stars, You will not succeed in touching them with your hands.
But like the seafaring men on the desert of waters, You choose them as your guides,
And following them you will reach your destiny."

"Enough of an Artist"

" I am enough of an artist To draw freely upon my imagination.
Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited.
Imagination encircles the world."
--- Albert Einstein ---

I hold in my hands a box of gold,
With a secret inside,
that no one else knows.
The box is priceless,
But its easy to see,
The treasure inside
Is far more precious to me.
Today I share This treasure with thee,
It is the treasure of friendship,
You've given to me.

"It's allright"

"It's all right"...Dry your eyes and cry no more.
Your dreams await on nearing shores. A hand extends from someone near,
To cast away your doubts and fears. It's time to start a life anew,
With changes for the both of us. Cling not to the things you've had,
Reminders of a time so sad. So rise about the mire and silt,
and free yourself of fear and guilt. Question not the things unknown,
Just please accept the love you're shown. Trust in things you can not see,
and maybe you'll believe in me. So now before you here I stand.
Just make a wish and take my hand.

"Life's true harvest"

" The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible, and indescribable
as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught,
A segment of the rainbow which I have clutched."
--------Henry David Thoreau--------

"Lost in Love"

Lost In Love..(With You)....
At times it seems like a fantasy, the love we share, you and me.
I lay awake at night thinking of you, and where our love will bring us to.
I strongly know and believe in my heart, that no matter what, we will never be apart.
Our love grows stronger with every day, and even after we fight, it never fades away.
It's so rare and special, the bond that keeps us bound, the love that we have found.
With every day our love is new, and this is my way of saying I Love You.

"M" is for Mother"

M ..... is for mother, so thoughtful, kind, and true..
O ..... is for other, none other is like you...
T ..... stands for thanks a million...
H ..... for hugs and hush-hush lullabys, that calmed me down to sleep...
E ..... is for everything you sacrificed for me...
R ..... reminds me mother dear, that you're the greatest !
Really, you are !

"Make Life Scrummy"

Surround yourself with juicy friends'. Lighten up. Lie naked in the sun,
eat with your fingers, have wild dreams. Be spontaneous, feel alive.
Paint your face, tickle a friend, share a hot pool. Take risks, cry during movies,
buy a big soft toy. Know love, live dangerously, don't wear underwear.
Bliss out. Laugh at yourself. Take frequent naps, scream and yell for the hell of it,
hug a tree, eat chocolate coated strawberries, bathe with friends, wear bright clothes.
Live life passionately. See beauty all around you. Pleasure yourself.
Swim naked, indulge your favorite fantasy. Make friends with freedom and uncertainty,
hug a stranger, surrender to pleasure, flirt with someone,
place "YES" stickers all over the house,
enjoy loving touch. Realize everyday is magic.
Be a Free Spirit!!

"The Spelling Checker Song"

I have a spelling checker. It came with my PC. It plane lee marks four my revue Miss steaks aye can knot sea. Eye ran this poem threw it. Your sure real glad two no. Its very polished in its weigh, My checker tolled me sew. A checker is a blessing. It freeze yew lodes of thyme. It helps me right awl stiles two reed, And aides me when aye rime. Each frays comes posed up on my screen Eye trussed too bee a joule. The checker pours o'er every word To cheque sum spelling rule. Bee fore a veiling checkers Hour spelling mite decline, And if we're laks oar have a laps, We wood bee maid too wine. Butt now bee cause my spelling Is checked with such grate flare, There are know faults with in my cite, Of nun eye am a wear. Now spelling does not phase me, It does knot bring a tier. My pay purrs awl due glad den With wrapped words fare as hear. To rite with care is quite a feet Of witch won should be proud, And wee mussed dew the best wee can, Sew flaws are knot aloud. Sow ewe can sea why aye dew prays Such soft wear four pea seas, And why eye brake in two averse Buy righting want too please.

" The true harvest of my daily life"

is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening.
It is a little star-dust caught, A segment of the rainbow which I have clutched."

"Too much coffee"

You know you are drinking too much coffee when... Charles Manson thinks you need to calm down. Cocaine is a downer. Instant coffee takes too long. Juan Valdez names his donkey after you. People can recharge their batteries in your ears. The only time you're standing still is during an earthquake. You answer the door before people knock. You can jump-start your car without cables. You can outlast the Energizer bunny. You can take a picture of yourself from ten feet away without using the timer. You can type sixty words per minute with your feet. You channel surf faster without a remote. You chew on other people's fingernails. You grind your coffee beans in your mouth. You have a bumper sticker that says: "Coffee drinkers are good in the sack." You have to watch videos in fast-forward. You haven't blinked since the last lunar eclipse. You haven't slept since the Carter administration... You help your dog chase its tail. You ski uphill. You sleep with your eyes open. You speed walk in your sleep. You think CPR stands for "Coffee Provides Resuscitation." You'd be willing to spend time in a Turkish prison. You're so wired, you pick up AM radio. Your T-shirt says, "Decaffeinated coffee is the devil's coffee." Your eyes stay open when you sneeze. Your life's goal is to amount to a hill of beans. Your only source of nutrition comes from "Sweet & Low."

"Travellers"

We are all travellers in the wilderness of this world,
and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.
--Robert Louis Stevenson--
