'For the First Time' Experience the beauty of everything around you--the people, places, things, and events--with fresh eyes. I'm tired of the old idea of living today as if it were my last. What about the first day? There's so much emphasis put on memories. The moments we remember, both good and bad, seem to make us who we are and influence how we react to the present. I love to remember. I love to slip away from reality and go somewhere I've been, be with people I miss, and stay awhile there inside my yesterdays. It's nice to remember, but dangerous to stay there too long. By doing so we often miss the "now" events that could one day be a treasure to return to. Today I thought about my favorite "firsts." The first time I saw my children after they were born. The first time I tasted Kona coffee. The first time I heard Johnny Mathis sing. The first time I saw my wife, and the first time I saw an eagle fly. I love the feeling of remembering, but oh, the thrill of the "first time" for anything. Instead of remembering, I thought how exciting it would be if I could experience the beauty of everything around me as if it were the first time. How thrilling it would be to see the wonder in a sunrise..for the first time. Think about all that you value in your life and pretend for a moment that you could awaken tomorrow and experience them once more...for the first time. Now, think about this. Imagine how exciting it would be to treat everyone you meet tomorrow like it was the first time. Oh, not pretending like they don't know you and you don't know them. But how about making a real effort to "see" them. A chance to really pay attention to who they are and what they bring to your life. Imagine taking the time to re-discover why you love them, why you call them friend, why you enjoy their company so much. Let's take it a step further. I challenge you to see the world around you tomorrow for the first time, too. The house you live in, the car you drive, the neighborhood, the trees, the birds, your dog/cat and hamster, too. Imagine your first bowl of Cheerios, glass of orange juice, cheeseburger and fries. Go to the local florist and buy some daisies and sit in your kitchen and touch them, smell them, for the first time. Everything in your life, everyone in your life, was once a "first time." Tomorrow, I dare you to appreciate all of it again like it was the first time. Oh, yes. First thing in the morning head into the bathroom and stand in front of the mirror and see yourself for the very first time, too. I mean really see yourself up close, inside and out as if you have never met before. Begin by introducing yourself. Yes, you are going to talk to yourself. But here are the rules. Don't talk about what you do for a living, if you are married or if you have children. Talk about you, what you love, feel, and believe...not your labels. If you can truly see yourself for the very first time, then the rest of the day will be incredible. Yes, I'm tired of the old idea of living today as if it were my last. The real excitement would be in living today as if it were my first. You know, I am really excited about tomorrow!

You are driving down the road in your 2 seater sports car on a wild, stormy night when you pass a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus: 1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die. 2. An old friend who once saved your life. 3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about. Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car? Think, before you continue reading. ..... This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a Job application. You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first. Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again. The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with this answer. She simply answered: "I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams." Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box." However, the correct answer is to run the old lady over and put her out of her misery, have sex with the perfect partner against the bus stop sign, and then drive off with the old friend for some beers. God, I just love happy endings.

Love letters are romantic and saying “I love you” when hanging up the phone with your loved one is always reassuring. But saying “I love you” doesn’t have to be “said” with words. While these three little words are powerful conveyors of emotion, showing your love through other words and actions can be just as powerful, and possibly even more effective, at keeping a relationship alive and healthy. We’re about to offer you simple advice on ways to say “I love you” that doesn’t involve words, at least not those three words. These simple, daily actions will show your lover just how much you care for him or her. Plus: Are you a good kisser? 1. Show Your Approval, Gratitude and Admiration As human beings, we are programmed to seek reassurance from those we love and even sometimes from those we don’t love. Showing your approval and admiration of your loved one takes no time and is extremely motivating for your partner. We all want to be shown approval for things like the way we provide for our family financially, the way we raise our children, the way we take care of the house, the way we do our jobs, the way we look and our other personal accomplishments. Being constantly critical and only focusing on the negative with your partner doesn’t say “I love you” very well. In fact, it can be demeaning and can drive the other person away pretty quickly. Recognize the damage your criticisms may be causing, especially those that are petty and insignificant, and choose your battles wisely. Instead of picking at your partner’s flaws, sprinkle your conversations with words of approval, gratitude and admiration. And when your partner is saying “I love you” with other words, don’t forget to respond with gratitude with words like “Thank you for (blank),” “I appreciate that you did (blank)” and “I admire you for (blank),” and say these words often. 2. Make Your Loved One #1 When you’re in a relationship, and especially a marriage, commitment is the foundation which the relationship lies on. While your relationship takes priority in your life, you also have numerous other commitments you must tend to – your career, children, friends, extended family, and social life. Your commitment to your partner can easily waver as you give importance to all of the other things that you have going on. Just saying “I love you” doesn’t show your commitment – this demonstration requires action and active support. Showing your commitment to your partner can be especially difficult if you have children, because parents tend to think that their children are their biggest obligation. What you may fail to realize is that your spouse should remain equally tended to. And there’s no better way to show that than with time and affection. Always make sure you spend an adequate amount of time (and by adequate we mean quality) with your partner and don’t neglect his or her needs in favor of other more trivial things. It’s your obligation to find a healthy balance. Keeping your spouse number one on your list and saying no to other, less important commitments, like having a third “girl’s” or “boy’s” night out of the week, is one of the other ways to say “I love you.” 3. It’s the Small Things that Really Count Being thoughtful and taking the initiative to bring happiness to your partner is just one of the small ways to say “I love you.” Thoughtfulness, especially when it’s personal and intimate to who you are as a couple, shows that you care enough to go above and beyond. You can also be thoughtful as a way of responding to your partner’s needs and wants. Be one step ahead of him by remembering important events coming up in his life. Take the initiative to call your significant other at work to see how the big presentation went or clean out the garage without being asked to do so. Learn to be a good listener, even it’s about something you really don’t care about, and keep unsolicited advice to yourself. Being thoughtful by doing the smaller things in life is one of the great ways of how to say “I love you” without saying it. 4. Be Your Honey’s Everything Whether you’re a girlfriend, a boyfriend, a wife or a husband, your status takes on so much more meaning within your title. You’re a friend, a lover and a confidante. You may be the mother or father of your spouse’s children as well. Fulfill all of those roles with all that you have to give. Be the friend who is fun and loyal, the lover who is affectionate and intimate and the confidante who is trustworthy and who provides an ear to talk to and a shoulder to lean on when your partner needs it most If you have children, being a loving, devoted dad or mom also shows your wife or your husband that you love them enough to take care of the children you produced together. Being your partner’s everything takes work, but it’s an endeavor that says “I love you” more than words ever can. There are so many wonderful ways to say “I love you” that don’t involve words, and when you incorporate these different ways to say “I love you” into your every day life, you’re guaranteed to see a positive response from your partner and even more positive results in your relationship. So go ahead and “tell” your partner just how much you love him or her today.

"When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us" ~~Alexander Graham Bell~~ "Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid." John Keats (1795 - 1821) The simple truth is that I would rather make less money doing something that I love rather than make more money wishing I had done something else to earn it. -Melanie Arthur It doesn't matter what people call you.....What you answer to, is what matters. When good people see evil and do nothing about it, their very non-action becomes evil as well. Sleep is a holiday for the body by divine legislation and institution. Those who pay deaf ears to it will die before their time. The eyes are the lamp of the body. If your body is corrupted by your sight, then you are in an inky darkness, cuttable by knife

and you thought you men was smart.. lol Body: A man calls home to his wife and says, "Honey I have been asked to go fishing at a big lake up in Canada with my boss and several of his friends. We'll be gone for a week. This is a good opportunity for me to get that promotion I've been wanting, so would you please pack me enough clothes for a week and set out my rod and tackle box. We're leaving from the office and I will swing by the house to pick my things up. Oh! Please pack my new blue silk pajamas." The wife thinks this sounds a little fishy, but being a good wife she does exactly what her husband asked. The following weekend he came home a little tired but otherwise looking good. The wife welcomes him home and asks if he caught many fish? He says, "Yes! Lot's of Walleye, some Blue gill, and a few Pike. But why didn't you pack my new blue silk pajamas like I asked you to do?" The wife replies "I did, they were in your tackle box." Never, never, try to outsmart a woman...Send this to other smart women.
