You Are(poem)
You’re…
My friend,
My companion,
Through good times and bad,
My friend,
My buddy,
Through happy and sad,
Beside me you stand,
Beside me you walk,
You’re there to listen,
You’re there to talk,
With happiness,
With smiles,
With pain and tears,
I know you’ll be there, throughout the years!
Life is a Gift
There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her.
She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she could see everything including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, “Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?”
The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend was blind, too, and refused to marry him.
Her boyfriend walked away in tears and later wrote a letter to her saying, “Just take good care of my eyes, dear.”
This is how the human brain changes when our status changes.
Only few remember what life was before and who’s always been there, even in the most painful situations.

Life is a gift.

Today, before you think of saying an unkind word, think of someone who can’t speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food, think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife, think of someone who’s crying out to God for a companion.
Today, before you complain about life, think of someone who went too early to heaven.
Before you complain about your children, think of someone who desires children but they’re barren.
Before you argue about your dirty house because someone didn’t clean or sweep, think of the people who are living in the streets.
Before whining about the distance you drive, think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet, and, when you are tired and complain about your job, think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.
And, when depressing thoughts seem to get you down, put a smile on your face and thank God you’re alive and still around.
Life is a gift. Live it, enjoy it, celebrate it, and fulfill it.
Attitude
There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.
“Well,” she said, “I think I’ll braid my hair today.” So she did, and she had a wonderful day. The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head.
“H-M-M,” she said, “I think I’ll part my hair down the middle today.” So she did, and she had a grand day. The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she
had only one hair on her head.
“Well,” she said, “today I’m going to wear my hair in a pony tail. So she did, and she had a fun, fun day. The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn’t a single hair on her head.
“YEA!” she exclaimed, “I don’t have to fix my hair today!”
Attitude is everything. Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Live simply,
Love generously,
Care deeply,
Speak kindly,
Leave the rest to God
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… It’s about learning to dance in the rain.
