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

Angels fly because they take themselves lightly.

I was told this by an angel out in Colorado about 3 decades ago.

Time that's shared
Is time that's saved
For you can not lose
What you give away

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I can still remember, with warm joy, one day my brother and I were
out marveling at the flowers in his garden. We had stopped at some lilies and were taking turns smelling their wonderful fragrance when we both looked up at each other and at the same time pointed out the
orange pollen on each others nose. Well we both got a chuckle out of it that day. It was a very simple little thing and yet still tugs at heartstrings these 15 or so years later after his death.

We never know what the very next instant brings, much less the upcoming years. One of the many things I've learned from the loss of both my brothers is that you should always tell the one(s) you care
about/love just how you feel about them or at the very least how important it is to you that you have them in your life.
You never get that chance after they are gone!

Emanuellla: i will tell you about what i have experienced this morning.....it was probably 5 or 6 am ( i hate taking a look at the watch when i am staying at home ) when i woke up. I felt like talking to smb but everybody was still sleeping so i had nothing to do inside.Put on quickly my jeans and my purple shirt and went out in the garden( i even forgot to comb my hair, was probably looking like an old crone hahaha). I never told you ,guys, i have so many flowers in my garden (though it's very small) that you never get boured watching them continuously. It's my mom who adores them and takes care of them. I only play the role of admirer So when i went outside they had already started to slowly open up their beautiful corollas, as if waiting for me to be the witness of this morning process.I couldn't resist to touch their petals and feel the softness of their colourful little bodies on my skin.Small dew drops were making their beauty even greater. And the sun was shining so peacefully over them...i suddenly had the feeling there are soooo many things we are missing in our lives just because we let ourselves be overwhelmed by all kind of problems which are sorrounding us like some high walls of darkness beyond which we even don;t dare imagining there might be happiness.I am wondering why can't we see how lucky we are for being alive, for being able to see and stare at the beauties of this world, for being able to walk, to run , to jump and laugh and hug and let to be hugged...well, we're doing all these but we're doing them mechanically, we don't feel them as a real luck and happiness.And that is bothering me:(
While staying in the sun, thinking of all these things i suddenly had the need to whisper "i love you''. I never had a stronger need in the past months like this one...It was very weird , since there's no man in my life right now and still....i wanted to whisper these 3 magical words.And i did whisper them.At first i was a lil bit shy but then whispered them louder and louder. Guess they were meant to be heard by the flowers, by the sun and the sky and the wind and the little ants that started to climb my leg as if i was a tree or smth haha and you know what? in the moment i whispered them i felt i am loved too...i just felt it I could distinguish in that morning silence some lovely vibrations coming back to me......

i don't know why i wrote abt it here....maybe smb will pluck up courage and start whispering "i love you" too ?anyway, if u decide to do it, take care to be alone where u are hahaha i once was advised by a "sweet" neighbour to visit a psychiatrist coz i was talking with myself hahaha


That is such a sweet experience that you have shared. Maybe the "I love you" was only meant to be heard by YOUR EARS ........ because truly how often do we say that to ourselves? Probably not as much as we need to hear it.

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”

"What you really value is what you miss, not what you have."
-Jorge Luis Borges

"-Ism's in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in The Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. That still doesn't change the fact that I don't have a car."
-Ferris Bueller

"Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious."
- Brendan Gill

"If you put tomfoolery into a computer, nothing comes out of it but tomfoolery. But this tomfoolery, having passed through a very expensive machine, is somehow ennobled and no-one dares criticize it."

Tips For A Better Life


Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.

2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you have to.

3. Buy a DVR and tape your late night shows and get more sleep.

4. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My

purpose is to __________ today.'

5. Live with the 3 E's - Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.

6. Play more games and read more books than you did in 2007.

7. Make time to practice meditation, yoga, tai chi, and prayer.
They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.

8. Spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.

9. Dream more while you are awake.


10. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is

manufactured in plants.

11. Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, wild Alaskan salmon,

broccoli, almonds & walnuts.

12. Try to make at least three people smile each day.

13. Clear clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and flowing

energy into your life.

14. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the

past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your

energy in the positive present moment.

15. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply

part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the

lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

16. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a

maxed out charge card.

17. Smile and laugh more. It will keep the energy vampires away.

18. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

20. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

21. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

22. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present..

23. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all

about.

24. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

25. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years, will this

matter?'


26. Forgive everyone for everything.

27. What other people think of you is none of your business.

28. GOD heals almost everything.

29. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

30. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in

touch.

31. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

32. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

33. The best is yet to come.

34. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

35.. Do the right thing!

36. Call your family often. (Or email them to death!!!)


37. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: I am

thankful for __________. Today I accomplished _________.

38. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.

39. Enjoy the ride. Remember this is not Disney World and you certainly don't

want a fast pass. You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and

enjoy the ride.
