‘The Good Friend’
The good friend
Is always there
Is always faithful
Is always supportive
The good friend
Loves unconditionally
Forgives easily
Forgets every wrong
The good friend
Cries over you
Cries for you
Cries with you
The good friend
Gets hurt
Gets walked on
Gets left behind
The good friend
Never has anyone
Never asks
Never gets
I HATE being
The good friend!

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 Or Her Fingers Through It Once A Day.
For Poise, Walk With The Knowledge You'll Never Walk Alone.
People, Even More Than Things, Have To Be Restored, Renewed,
Revived, Reclaimed, And Redeemed;
Never Throw Out Anybody.
Remember, If You Ever Need A Helping Hand,
You'll Find One At The End Of Your Arm.
As You Grow Older, You Will Discover That You Have Two Hands,
One For Helping Yourself, The Other For Helping Others.
The Beauty Of A Woman Is Not In The Clothes She Wears,
The Figure That She Carries, Or The Way She Combs Her Hair.
The Beauty Of A Woman Must Be Seen From In Her Eyes,
Because That Is The Doorway To Her Heart, The Place Where Love Resides.
The Beauty Of A Woman Is Not In A Facial Mole, But True Beauty
In A Woman Is Reflected In Her Soul.
It Is The Caring That She Lovingly Gives, The Passion That She Shows.
And The Beauty Of A Woman With Passing Years Only Grows!
By Audrey Hepburn

I Love This Poem By Dorothy Law Nolte And Would Like To Share It With You...
“Children Learn What They Live”
If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.
If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.
If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.
If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy.
If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.
If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.
If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.
If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.
If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.
If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.
If children live with recognition, they learn it is good to have a goal.
If children live with sharing, they learn generosity.
If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness.
If children live with fairness, they learn justice.
If children live with kindness and consideration, they learn respect.
If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and in those about them.
If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live.

My daughter…a career woman, a wife and a mother to a 'smart ass' and two fat cats... Daisy & Fluffy. She’s petite and looks so fragile...but looks can be deceiving! She could break your neck in seconds...
Today she’s flying off to Philadelphia for a seminar. It’s sad that she have to go there during Ramadan and miss the breakfast with her family. The moment she reaches back, after such a long hour of flying...and it’s off to work again! Maybe she already got used to it. Sometimes I wonder how long she could cope! It must be hard...I have been there before! Ah...I guess she is still young and full of endurance!
She could just stay at home because her husband could well afford to feed those four mouths...but she chooses to work...egoist :))
I am happy that she is doing well but at the same time I am sad...we seldom spend times together anymore...most of the times we just talk over the phone :((
Well, I knew I am going to lose her the moment she got married...she has her own responsibility now. To think of it...I should be glad that she never burdens me with anything...not even to look after that 'smart ass'...my granddaughter :))
I wonder who is going to miss her most...her husband, her daughter or her two fat cats?...Fluffy especially!
I look at her pictures when she is still small and I wonder, where has this girl gone to? How I wish to hold that small girl again in my arms now :(( At the moment I only have my son with me...he too will leave me someday...or maybe I will leave him before he leaves me...nothing last forever!
Many Times In Our Lives We Are Dropped, Crumpled And Ground
Into The Dirt By The Decisions We Make And The Circumstances
That Come Our Way...We Feel As Though We Are Worthless!
But No Matter What Has Happened Or What Will Happen...
Even If You Have Lost Your Value...Dirty Or Clean, Crumpled Or Finely Creased...You Are Still Priceless To Those Who Love You...
The Worth Of Our Lives Comes Not In Just What We Do Or Who We Know...But By Who We Are!
Always Remember...You Are Special! Don’t Ever Forget It!
Dedicate To All My Precious Friends And Family Who Makes My Life More Colorful...Especially: Nini...Mahal Din Kita!
