Happy Aloha Friday!! Here are some goodies sent by MBN members. I combined a couple, added some of my own thoughts, and – well, here you go!
They used to say that a long time ago two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand:
TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.
They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him.
After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:
TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.
The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone …why?”
The other friend replied, “When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can scatter it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.”
LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BLESSINGS IN STONE.
Do not value the things you have in your life; RATHER, value who you have in your life.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then, in an entire life, you cannot forget them.
Send this memento to the people you’ll never forget and remember to send it also to the person who sent it to you. It’s a short message to let them know that you’ll never forget them.
If you don’t send it to anyone, it means you’re in too much of a hurry and that you’ve forgotten to remember your friends. Take the time to live!
I LOVE YOU – SOLID GOLD LOVE
Friends
1. Read Slowly & Think Long on Each Sentence
2. Love starts with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear.
3. Don’t cry over anyone who won’t cry over you
4. If love isn’t a game, why are there so many players?
5. Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget.
6. You can only go as far as you can push. You can come only as far as you can
7. What we do says who we are. Actions speak louder than words.
8. The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love, love somebody else
9. Don’t let the past hold you back; you’re missing the good stuff. Life’s short. If you don’t look around once in a while you might miss it.
10. A BEST FRIEND is like a four leaf clover, HARD TO FIND and LUCKY TO HAVE.
11. Some people make the world SPECIAL just by being in it.
12. BEST FRIENDS are the siblings God forgot to give us.
13. When it hurts to look back, and you’re scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your BEST FRIEND will be there. (See me?)
14. TRUE FRIENDSHIP NEVER ENDS.
15. Friends are FOREVER.
16. Good friends are like stars….You don’t always see them, but you know they are always there
17. Don’t frown. You never know who is falling in love with your smile.
18. What do you do when the only person who can make you stop crying is the person who made you cry?
19. Nobody is perfect until you fall in love with them.
20. Everything is okay in the end. If it’s not okay, then it’s not the end.
21. Most people walk in and out of your life, but only friends leave footprints in your heart. If you should meet someone without a smile, give them one of yours. No other gift could cost you less to give or be of such great value when received.
Don’t Look Back ±
Unless you want to ±
Go back
Meditate on THAT one for a while!
Whatever, whenever, wherever, whoever, however, if ever, forever — at your service.
