Time Understands How Great Love Is


You might have read this long time ago, but I love this sweet story, thus I would like to share it with all my dearest lovely friends.
May you all find your True LOVE, understand and appreciate how Great LOVE is.
 

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived; Happiness
, Sadness, Knowledge, and all the others......, including Love.
 
One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So, all the feelings prepared their boats to leave. Love was the only one that stayed.  She wanted to preserve the island until the last possible moment.
 
When the island was almost totally under, Love decided it was time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help.
 
Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat.
 
Love asked, "Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?"
 
Richness answered, "I'm sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you."
 
Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing in a beautiful vessel.
 
Love cried out, "Vanity, help me please."
 
"I can't help you", Vanity said, "You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat."

Next, Love saw Sadness passing by.
 
Love said, "Sadness, please let me go with you."

Sadness answered, "Love, I'm sorry, but, I just need to be alone now."
 
Then, Love saw Happiness .

Love cried out, "Happiness , please take me with you.
 
But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn't hear Love calling to him.

Love began to cry. Then, she heard a voice say, "Come Love, I will take you with me." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived on land the elder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder. 

Love then found Knowledge and asked, "Who was it that  helped me?" 

"It was Time", Knowledge answered.
"But why did Time help me when no one else would?" Love asked.

Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered,


"Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."

Boost Up Our Self-Esteem, Ladies



For All Great Women All Over the World …

As we grow older, women gain weight. This happens because we accumulate a lot of information in our heads.  And then, of course, we get to a point in which so much information doesn’t fit in our heads, that starts to distribute itself throughout our entire body.


Now I understand it all…
I’m not Overweight !!!
I’m not Fat !!!
I’m Smart !!!
VERY Smart !!!
 
 
Life should not be a trip to the tomb with the intention of reaching it with good health and an attractive well-cared for Body. 
 
It should be more like a ride on a great water slide, with a big piece of yummy chocolate in one hand and a glass of good wine in the other. 
 
With a body totally worn out from good living, and yelling …
WoW! What a Ride !!!
 

We are PERFECT ! Because:
 
We don’t go bald.

We have an international day of Incredibly Good Looking and Elegant Women.

We can use pink as well as blue.
 

We have priority in a shipwreck, we are the first hostages to go free.

We can pay attention to several things at a time.

If we decide to do a man’s job, we’re pioneers.
 
The wife of a President is the First Lady, so, What is the husband of a female President?
 
And last but not least…
We can do everything a man does, and wearing Earrings & Heels !!!

To all of the perfect women and all men capable of acknowledging it.
 Have A Great Day !

 

Put The Glass Down Today

 

Would like to share this SMALL story with you.
Hope that makes a BIG change in YOU !

Professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it.
He held it up for all to see & asked the students
 
“How much do you think this glass weighs?”
'50gms!' .... '100grams!' .....'125grams' the students answered.
 
“I really don't know unless I weigh it,” said the professor, “but, my question is:
What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?”
'Nothing' …..the students said.
 
'Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?' the professor asked.
'Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the student.
 
“You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?”
“Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis & have to go to hospital for sure!” ventured another student & all the students laughed.
 
“Very good.  But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?” asked the professor.
'No‘…. Was the answer.
 
“Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?”
The students were puzzled.
 
“What should I do now to come out of pain?” asked professor again.
“Put the glass down!” said one of the students.
 
“EXACTLY!” said the professor.

 
Life's problems are something like this.
Hold it for a few minutes in your head & they seem OK.
Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache.
Hold it even longer & they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything.
 

It's important to think of the challenges or problems in your life,
but even more important is to ‘Put Them Down'
at the end of every day before you go to sleep.
That way, you are not stressed.
You wake up every day fresh & strong.
You can handle any issue, any challenge
that comes your way!
 
So, when you leave office today, remember friend to
 
'PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY!’

More or Less



Today, we have . . .
bigger, finer houses...but smaller, broken families
higher buildings...but shorter temperaments
wider highways...but narrow point of view
more knowledge...but less judgment
more medicines...but less health
higher income...but less morals
spent more...but enjoyed less

Who is Rich & Who is Poor ?



Who Is Rich & Who Is Poor ?
One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.  They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son : “How was the trip?”
“It was great, Dad.”
“Did you see how poor people live?” the father asked.
“Oh yeah,” said the son.
“So, tell me, what you learned from the trip?” asked the father.
The son answered : “I saw that
We have one dog and they had four;
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end;
We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night;
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon;
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond;
We have servants who serve us, but they serve others;
We buy our food, but they grow theirs;
We have walls around our property to protect us; they have friends to protect them.”

The boy's father was speechless.  Then his son added, “Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.”

Isn't Perspective a Wonderful Thing?
Appreciate and Give Thanks for Everything We Have,
Instead of Worrying about What We Don't Have !
