Maggie's blog: "Words That Speak To Me"

PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON I am sending this to you to see how many actually read their comments.Your response will be interesting. Pay attention to what you read. After you have finished reading it, you will know the reason it was sent to you. Here goes: People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season . LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime. Send this to every friend that you have on-line, including the person who sent it to you. If you get: 0 Replies - you may need to work on your "people skills" 2 Replies - you are nice but probably need to be more outgoing 4 Replies - you have picked your friends well 6 Replies - you are downright popular 8 Replies or More - you are totally awesome (and that's probably why you're on MY list) " ****This made the rounds some time back and it touched me. When I found this in a Bulletin again, posted by a newly found past life companion, I felt the need to repost it here for posterity, lol! It expresses so much of what is going on in my life right now! May it touch you, as it has touched me!

Did you know that it's Beautiful Women Month? Well, it is and that means you !!! I'm supposed to send this to FIVE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, and you are one of them !!! (Of course I sent this to more than five). Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn wrote when asked to share her "beauty tips." It was read at her funeral years later. For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others. If you share this with another woman, something good will happen. You will boost another woman's self esteem, and she will know that you care about her. This was sent to me and I sent it on! But I didn't think that was enough, so I'm posting it here in my blog. I hope everyone, male and female, has a chance to read it and meditate on it! Much love to all!

(This is an odd beginning for this particular group of blogs, but it's where I'm at, at the moment! Sorry!) Pain, without love Pain, I can't get enough Pain. I like it rough 'Cause I'd rather feel pain Than nothing at all. You're sick of feeling numb. You're not the only one. I'll take you by the hand And show you a world That you can understand. This life is filled with hurt When happiness doesn't work. Trust me and take my hand. When the lights go out You'll understand. Pain, without love Pain, I can't get enough Pain. I like it rough 'Cause I'd rather feel pain Than nothing at all. Pain, without love Pain, I can't get enough Pain. I like it rough 'Cause I'd rather feel pain Than nothing at all. Anger and agony Are better than misery. Trust me, I've got a plan When the lights go up You'll understand. Pain, without love Pain, I can't get enough Pain. I like it rough 'Cause I'd rather feel pain Than nothing at all. I'd rather feel pain. I know, I know, I know, I know I know you're wounded. You know, you know, you know, you know That I'm here for you. You know, you know, you know, you know I'm always here for you. I know, I know, I know, I know That you'll thank me later.
