Snooping.....

Snooping.....
I hate the word,
but sometimes it just has to be done.
I think everyone has a right to snoop whenever they feel the need to.
If you have nothing to hide, then nothing should be found when being snooped upon.
If you are doing or saying something to someone that you wouldn't do or say to them
in front of your significant other then, you should be called out on it.

As far as I'm concerned there isn't any reason to do anything behind any ones back.
If you are not happy with your relationship, then you shouldn't be in it.
We have one life and you should try to live it as honestly and as happy as possible
without hurting someone elses life.

Some Day.....

A friend of mine opened his wife's underwear drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package:
'This, - he said - isn't any ordinary package.'
He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper
and the box.
'She got this the first time we went to New York , 8 or 9 years ago. She has never put it on , was saving it for a special occasion.
Well, I guess this is it.
He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other
clothing he was taking to the funeral house,
his wife had just died.
He turned to me and said:
"Never save something for a special occasion.
Every day in your life is a special occasion".
I still think those words changed my life.
Now I read more and clean less.
I sit on the porch without worrying about anything.
I spend more time with my family, and less at work.
I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to, not survived through.
I no longer keep anything.
I use crystal glasses every day...
I'll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, if I feel like it.
I don't save my special perfume for special occasions, I use it whenever I want to.
The words "Someday..." and "One Day..." are fading away from my dictionary.
If it's worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen or do it now.....
I don't know what my friend's wife would have done if she knew she wouldn't
be there the next morning, this nobody can tell.
I think she might have called her relatives and closest friends.
She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels.
I'd like to think she would go out for Chinese, her favorite food.
It's these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew my time had come..
Each day, each hour, each minute, is special.
So don't wait for "Someday or One Day" to tell someone you care about them
and don't save those "Special Dishes or Linens, or whatever", enjoy them now,
Today, this minute, Live and Love for today, for tomorrow is promised to no-one.

Growing Old....

Don't regret growing older.

It is a privilege denied to many.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where one could read it every day.

You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.
1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.

want to be just like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. You are special and unique.

11. Always remember the compliments you received.

Forget about the rude remarks.

And always remember.....
When life hands you lemons,

Ask for Lemon Chicken and call me over!!

Good friends are like stars.....

You don't always see them,

But you know they are always there.

'Whenever God Closes One Door He Always Opens Another,

Even Though Sometimes It's Hell in the Hallway.'

I would rather have one rose and a kind word from a friend

while I'm here

than a whole truck load when I'm gone.

Happiness keeps You Sweet,

Trials keep You Strong,

Sorrows keep You Human,

Failures keeps You Humble,

Success keeps You Glowing,

But Only God keeps You Going...

'Worry looks around, sorry looks back, Faith looks up.'
