RE: Would you really date someone you talked with on any of these threads and why???

I would go so far as to marry one of these crazy CSer's wait a minute, I did marry one of these crazy CSer's

You're right there is a lot of game playing that goes on ...on any dating site, any bar, or anywhere singles meet but it is still better to have loved and lost than to have never felt the magic of love at all

RE: When was Christ actually born

I don't know the specifics of the date & time of his birth. I do not need that information in order to believe in his existence, nor to substaniate why He came and what He did for us while He was here.

RE: The perfect day

I'm getting my "baby" out of the shed tomorrow and stretch her tires a little also

I would love a road trip down to the beach this week with all the 75+ weather around here.

Got up to 80 degrees down here today, a record breaking heat wave

I have to agree with you here Daniel, nothing like the wind in your hair and the hum of that wonderful engine purring in your ears.

How about you just naturally excel in individual sports? Perhaps it's in the genes

TMI! TMI! TMI! Remember this is a family channel

This could be great campfire chat though

RE: John Lennon

I agree, he made quite a impression of generations at that time, and as baby boomers age, I have noticed that our children also enjoy some of our old music as well. I still see a number of youth with AC DC, etc on their tee shirts, just like back in the 60's & 70's....

RE: Your perfect weapon

Seems if your name is Daniel, you can cook heh?

RE: Will Technology

Thank you

RE: Your perfect weapon

OOOOPPPPPPsss...sorry Ignore that last post of mine ladies, Daniel's a horrible cook

RE: Will Technology

Yes, but I'm ole fashioned and already feel that way about emails in general.

I miss the days of receiving good ole handwritten letters and pretty cards. I still enjoy receiving mail in the ole "snail mail box."

I still enjoy telephone calls where you can hear an actual voice, tone and the warmth of someone's soul coming over the phone lines.

RE: Romance and Christmas

What do you mean about "but I'll be on his "Naughty List" after that....."

I thought you were all the time

RE: Romance and Christmas

My most romantic Christmas was last Christmas when Earl, my now Hubby came down and was here from Christmas through New Year

We weren't talking marriage at that time, so it's "icing on the cake" this year to be together as "Husband and Wife."

I can't wait to catch Santa under the Christmas tree Until then I'm gonna be a good girl, but I'll be on his "Naughty List" after that.....Wait a minute, Earl's son's supposed to be here this Christmas....skreeeeccchhh!! Okay, perhaps be naughty after the New Year.

RE: how many times can you use a rubber !!!

Rubber

You mean like the rubber in a rubber band?

I guess it depends how many times you can stretch it to its limit and it comes back for more

RE: Snow storm

RE: New great Niece

RE: Snow storm

Nice and warm here. Had some rain during the night but the sun is shining now

RE: Snow storm

We did receive a few yes I agree with your other post that your Mom looks elated about the new girl in the family.

Looks like Miss Madison Louise is going to be just a bit spoiled over the course of her lifetime. She's Adorable

Going to get ready for all my little bus riders, those precious little stinkers

Hope you get the day off with pay since the weather is so dangerous up there.

Earl's sleeping, but will be up probably by 8-9am. Give him a ring if you want on the home phone number if you don't go into work. I'm sure he'd love to hear about the snow.

He said yesterday he was glad he didn't have to drive in it. Course we about due a really good snow down here, so he might have brought the snow with him and we won't see it until January or Feb.

Bye Bye

RE: Snow storm

Good Morning,

Be careful glad we don't have none of that white stuff yet

RE: "I wish you enough..."

Here's another variation which is the one I'm more familiar with............


Recently, I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport as the daughter’s departure had been announced.

Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said, “I love you and I wish you enough.”

The daughter replied, “Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom.”

They kissed and the daughter left. The mother walked over to the window where I sat. Standing there, I could see she wanted and needed to cry.

I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she welcomed me in by asking, “Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?”

“Yes, I have,” I replied. “Forgive me for asking but why is this a forever good-bye?”

“I am old and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is the next trip back will be for my funeral,” she said.

When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, “I wish you enough.” May I ask what that means?”

She began to smile. “That’s a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone.” She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even more.

“When we said ‘I wish you enough’ we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them”.

Then turning toward me, she shared the following, reciting it from memory.

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you posses.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.

She then began to cry and walked away.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person, An hour to appreciate them, A day to love them, and an entire life to forget them.

TAKE TIME TO LIVE

To all my friends and loved ones, I WISH YOU ENOUGH

RE: "I wish you enough..."

"I wish you enough!"©

I never really thought that I'd spend as much time in airports as I do. I don't know why. I always wanted to be famous and that would mean lots of travel. But I'm not famous, yet I do see more than my share of airports.
I love them and I hate them. I love them because of the people I get to watch. But they are also the same reason why I hate airports. It all comes down to "hello" and "goodbye."I must have mentioned this a few times while writing my stories for you.

I have great difficulties with saying goodbye. Even as I write this I am experiencing that pounding sensation in my heart. If I am watching such a scene in a movie I am affected so much that I need to sit up and take a few deep breaths. So when faced with a challenge in my life I have been known to go to our local airport and watch people say goodbye. I figure nothing that is happening to me at the time could be as bad as having to say goodbye.

Watching people cling to each other, crying, and holding each other in that last embrace makes me appreciate what I have even more. Seeing them finally pull apart, extending their arms until the tips of their fingers are the last to let go, is an image that stays forefront in my mind throughout the day.

On one of my recent business trips, when I arrived at the counter to check in, the woman said, "How are you today?" I replied, "I am missing my wife already and I haven't even said goodbye."


She then looked at my ticket and began to ask, "How long will you...Oh, my God. You will only be gone three days!" We all laughed. My problem was I still had to say goodbye.

But I learn from goodbye moments, too.

Recently I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together. They had announced her departure and standing near the security gate, they hugged and he said, "I love you. I wish you enough." She in turn said, "Daddy, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Daddy."

They kissed and she left. He walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking, "Did you ever say goodbye to someone knowing it would be forever?"

"Yes, I have," I replied. Saying that brought back memories I had of expressing my love and appreciation for all my Dad had done for me. Recognizing that his days were limited, I took the time to tell him face to face how much he meant to me.

So I knew what this man experiencing.

"Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever goodbye?" I asked.

"I am old and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is, the next trip back would be for my funeral," he said.

"When you were saying goodbye I heard you say, "I wish you enough." May I ask what that means?"

He began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone." He paused for a moment and looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, he smiled even more."When we said 'I wish you enough,' we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them," he continued and then turning toward me he shared the following as if he
were reciting it from memory.

"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much
bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Goodbye."

He then began to sob and walked away.

My friends, I wish you enough!
