(no subject)
♥ I cant tell you how many times i get a stoopid forward saying that *it's friendship week!! pass this on!!!* or something along the lines of me having a cold heart, just cause i refuse to trouble my friend's email inboxes with another annoying forward.. i swear, i have like 40 emails a day, about 10 are actual emails.. the rest is something about winning a million, a new digital, or my personal favorite.. should marijuana be legal? *yes* *no* and *huh?* ahh, those are the amusing ones.. well any ways.. theres a point i swear! this one, i like. i like the meaning or the purpose if u will.. its got a good message.. so quit reading MY rambling message and read the one below.. go on.. READ ALREADY! oh yea, i should stop.. ;)!
Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because
they haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it
was coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine.
I got to thinking one day about all those women on the Titanic who
passed up dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cut back. >From
then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible.
How many women out there will eat at home because their husband
didn't suggest going out to dinner until after something had been thawed? Does
the word "refrigeration" mean nothing to you?
How often have your kids dropped in to talk and sat in silence while
you watched 'Jeopardy' on television?
I cannot count the times I called my sister and said, "How about
going to lunch in a half hour?" She would gas up and stammer, "I can't. I have
clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday, I had a
late breakfast, It looks like rain." And my personal favorite: "It's Monday."
.She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together.
Because Americans cram so much into their lives, we tend to schedule
our headaches.. We live on a sparse diet of promises we make to ourselves when
all the conditions are perfect!
We'll go back and visit the grandparents when we get Steve
toilet-trained. We'll entertain when we replace the living-room carpet. We'll
go on a second honeymoon when we get two more kids out of college.
Life has a way of accelerating as we get older. The days get
shorter, and the list of promises to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we
awaken, and all we have to show for our lives is a litany of "I'm going to," "I
plan on," and "Someday, when things are settled down a bit."
When anyone calls my 'seize the moment' friend, she is open to
adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her
enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and
you're ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Rollerblades and skip an
elevator for a bungee cord.
My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream.
It's just that I might as well apply it directly to my stomach with a spatula
and eliminate the digestive process. The other day, I stopped the car and
bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would
have died happy.
♥ now.. there was a loverly poem following this loverly message.. it was truly loverly.. but! it was a shortened version.. i just happened to have the full version.. well.. here it is!
Have you ever watched kids on a merry go round?
Or listened to the rain, slapping the ground?
Ever followed a butterly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun, into the fading night?
You'd better slow down.
dont dance so fast.
time is too short.
the music won't last.
Do you run through each day, on the fly?
When you ask how are you, do you hear the reply?
When the day is done, do you lie in your bed,
With the next hundred chores, running through your head?
You'd better slow down.
don't dance so fast.
time is short.
the music won't last.
Ever told your child 'We'll do it tomorrow'?
and in your haste, not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch? let a good friendship die?
cause you never had time to call and say 'hi'
You'd better slow down.
don't dance so fast.
time is short.
the music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere,
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you hurry and worry through your day,
It's like an unopened gift... thrown away.
Life is not a race
do take it slower...
hear the music playing,
before the song is over.
Now...go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to......not
something on your SHOULD DO list. If you were going to die soon and had only one
phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why
are you waiting?
♥ wasn't that loverly? if you want, comment.. i don't see y u should have to, but go ahead! now.. i could be like those annoying forwards... **** GO NOW AND PASTE THIS INTO YOUR LIVEJOURNAL! SPREAD THE WORD! IT'S NATIONAL FRIENDSHIP WEEK! IF YOU DON'T POST THIS.. YOU HAVE A COLD HEART.. AND YOU'RE FRIENDLESS!!!*** but if you were friendless, why are you reading this? anyways.. that would go against the meaning of the message.. GET UP OFF UR BUTT AND GO DO SOMETHING YOU LIKE TO DO!! IT'S BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE! GO ENJOY IT!!!
"Life may not be the party we hoped for... but while we are here we might as well dance!"
♥ ♥ ♥ much luv! ♥ ♥ ♥
