Have you ever thought about God's plan for you...
He is waiting for you, to take your hands off... So all of your best will shine through!
Wake up each morning and say to yourself... 'Today is a wonderful day!'
Think on the things that are on today's list... Then give thanks to God for your way!
Look at your problems as challenges... exciting to solve for the best...
Don't worry or fret with hows and with whys... you do your part and let God do the rest!
Road blocks will happen and others may cause... grief while you go on our way...
Keeping good thoughts and a spirit of thanks... will give you peace for your day!
I'm not suggesting that sadness won't come... fear and frustration will too...
Faith and believing in God's best for life... will comfort and then bring you through!
This isn't easy, it's a choice that we make... to turn things over to God...
Be thankful each day for his guidance and love... Let him help carry your load!
When your day closes and now you can sleep... give thanks for everything dear...
Do not forget, to give thanks for the grief... for it's in our plan just as cheer!
We couldn't ever enjoy, all that is good... if bad things weren't in the mix...
Overcoming these things, as hard as it seems... shows our character when it's at its best!
So make it a choice, to have a great life... and always remember to pray...
Guard what you're thinking, positive please... Then you'll have your best life today! _________________ BE TRUE TO YOURSELF! Life is too short for drama & petty things, so kiss slowly, laugh insanely, Love truly and forgive quickly.

| A place for prayer for pof=friends and family Posted: 3/3/2008 7:10:47 AM | ~Friends who really take the time to care, are angels unaware~
It's sad to hear of friend's passing... Those that aren't in your daily life... Acquaintances really... Not friends!
Lives that cross from time to time... Neighbors, clerks, work or such... People that you nod your head to... or smile and wave and say 'hello!'
These are the people... that we really don't think of... until they're mentioned... Yet, you are moved when you hear of their passing!
It's like the constant you take for granted... Their passing... is a reminder to us... that nothing or no one is for ever!
Take a moment... Think of those around you... Like the moors that keep us safe... The unstated bounderies in our life!
The next time you have the pleasure of that nod or smile... Look them in the eye... as if to show them with your smile... That you really see them in your world!
!!!
This poem is to remind myself... as well as others to take the time to smell the flowers! The world comes to an end for someone each day... No one has a promise of tomorrow!

Have you ever wondered... Why it seems, that some people go through life hurting others and cheating... Yet don't seem to pay a price for it?
Payday doesn't always come on Friday night!
Have you ever heard 'What goes around, comes around!' Then you've heard of Karma!
The Hindus say it's a matter of 'Cause and Effect'
Buddhists seek Nirvana! Each action receives a reaction!
Christians believe 'As ye sow..Ye shall reap'
All seem to agree that causing harm by accident... does not cause bad Karma...
Also... Causing a benefit without intent... does not bring good Karma!
It would be best said... that the 'Golden Rule' seems to be the best measure...
'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you'
Be mindful which words you speak into the universe... Be careful which deeds you offer also...
You will do well to consider...
What goes around, comes around!

Slow Dance
This is a poem written by a teenager with cancer.
She wants to see how many people get her poem.
It is quite the poem. Please pass it on.
This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a Hospital .
~~~~SLOW DANCE~~~~~
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is 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/her
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 worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
DEAR All: PLEASE pass this on to everyone you know - even to those you don't know! It is the request of a special girl who will soon leave this world due to cancer.
This young girl has 6 months left to live, and as her dying wish, she wanted to send a letter telling everyone to live their life to the fullest, since she never will.
She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.
One day, we will meet in heaven....I'll see you there....Love, Lisa PS. I promise to you, I'll slow down!! | |

| A place for prayer for pof=friends and family Posted: 3/11/2008 5:14:32 PM | For The Love Of A Friend ! I will hold your hand when you are sad. I will hold your hand as you walk alone.
I will stand beside you when you need my strength.
I will honor and guide you through all your grief.
I will keep my word and be with you, as your friend from across the blue.
And when the time has come to part,
I will not allow that to happen to each of our heart, for as the rose blooms daily true, My friendship will last your whole life through.

| A place for prayer for pof=friends and family Posted: 3/11/2008 10:29:15 PM | The Positive Side Of Life On POF
Living on earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun every year.
How long a minute is depends on what side of the bathroom door you're on.
Birthdays are good for you; the more you have, the longer you live.
Happiness comes through doors you didn't even know you left open.
Ever notice that the people who are late are often much jollier than the people who have to wait for them?
Most of us go to our grave with our music still inside of us.
If Walmart is lowering prices every day, how come nothing is free yet?
You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.
Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened.
We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors..... but they all exist very nicely in the same box.
A truely happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
Have a awesome morning, evening, or night and know that someone who thinks you're great has thought about you today!  | |

You don't see her, but I do. Each time your eyes twinkle I see her in you. * Every time you wipe my tears With your kind and gentle ways I see in you an Angel Sent to smooth the way. * I don't know what I did To deserve such a friend. I thank God for you, my dear one My Angel until the end. * I hope that when you look To me for comfort and for love You see in me an Angel Sent from up above. * It's the part of us that's giving, The part that's so refined The part that's made of only love The part that is Divine. * We are Angels to each other Whenever we lend a hand Or dry a tear or sooth a wound It's all part of His Plan. * Reach inside your heart And you will surely find Part of you that is an Angel- So loving, warm and kind. *

| Inspirational Posted: 3/13/2008 9:50:19 AM | One Day At A Time Dedicated to my Mom, she inspires me so much, she is a woman not afraid to express her feelings, her emotions, her thoughts, she just goes with it!
Our lives are made up of a million moments, spent in a million different ways. Some are spent searching for love, peace, and harmony. Others are spent surviving day by day.
But there is no greater moment than when we find that life, with all it's joys and sorrows, is meant to be lived one day at a time. It's in this knowledge that we discover the most wonderful truth of all.
Whether we live in a forty-room mansion, surrounded by servants and wealth, or find it a struggle to manage the rent month to month, we have it within our power to be fully satisfied and live a life with true meaning.
One day at a time - we have that ability, through cherishing each moment and rejoicing in each dream. We can experience each day anew, and with this fresh start we have what it takes to make all our dreams come true. Each day is new, and living one day at a time enables us to truly enjoy life and live it to the fullest. | |

| Inspirational Posted: 3/14/2008 8:27:15 AM | Friendships
Friendship is a priceless gift, That cannot be bought or sold. But it's value is far greater, Than a mountain of gold.
For gold is cold and lifeless. It can neither see nor hear. And in the time of trouble, It is powerless to cheer.
It has no ears to listen. No heart to understand. It cannot bring you comfort. Or reach out a helping hand.
So when you feel down and need a lift, One of the best things to make amends, Isn't diamonds, pearls or riches, But the love of real true friends.

May peace and plenty bless your world with joy that long endures. May all life's passing seasons bring the best to you and yours.

I will be someone on whom you can depend Not just for a time, but until the end I will be strong, when you are weak... your secrets, I intend to keep...
I'll be there for the laughter and the tears. As our friendship continues to grow through the years.

| Inspirational Posted: 3/19/2008 3:37:02 PM | Happy Easter Week
"What is Easter?" Some may ask in this world today They haven't had the benefit of parents that do pray
This new generation brought up just to think Easter is for colored eggs and bunnies that are pink
Picnics in the park with friends watching children play Parades in every city floats are on display
Spring break is a focus many often have Some will plan vacation visit mom and dad
All these things within themselves are fun and bring us pleasure Just remember Christ's own death for this is the real treasure
Christ was featured on display he had his own parade From bleeding wounds came colors red that all the soldiers made
He didn't ride on flowered floats he walked alone instead carrying his wooden cross as his body bled
He could hear the ridicule the screaming out of scorn They said "yes, here comes the king" a crown of thorns was worn
They nailed him to that cross that day on a hill for all to see They pierced his side and spat on him took all his dignity
He could have called on angels to save him from this pain But instead he suffered for the world's own gain
Christ did know this day would come the purpose of his birth It didn't make the suffering less but he knew its worth
Christ did die..God's own son on Golgotha hill On the third day after that he arose yet still
His precious blood he shed for us now cleanses every soul All our sin is washed away made clean and pure as gold
He lives! He lives! As we will one day too Death of flesh was not his end it's the same for me and you! | |

May you have a little sunlight to guide you on your way. May you discover, little by little, happiness that's here to stay.
May you grow a little stronger and a little wiser with each dawn. May you have a little time to believe in dreams to dream upon...
May all the joy your heart desires find its way to you. And may the blessings that brighten up your days keep on shining through!
May you have a beautiful Easter spent with family and friends. Never stop believing in faith, hope, love and peace !

Just wanted to let every one know that after April, I plan on leaving POF. I may stay around long enough to have my Backyard get together at my house in May and that will be the end for me on any dating site. I know longer need to be on here. I am the happiest person in the world, very content with my life now, and look foward to my future. My only problem is: I have met some really nice people on here at my get togethers and those people I will miss So much and if there is anyone that would like to stay in touch with me, you can email me and I'll give you my contact information. My daughter April Is My Name and friend Dollhouse549...Sheryl will be doing some get togethers for all of you just like I have been doing. So please everyone come out to these last few get togethers that I will be hosting so I can say my good byes, well not good bye because I don't believe in good byes, but I can give all my friends that I have met and the new ones that I will be meeting a big hug.
I love you all,

| Inspirational Posted: 3/25/2008 4:50:17 PM | Plenty of Fish/Friends, will you ever know?
I don't think you will ever fully understand how you've touched my life and made me who I am.
I don't think you could ever know just how truly special you are that even on the darkest nights you are my brightest star.
I don't think you will ever fully comprehend how you've made my dreams come true or how you've opened my heart to love and the wonders it can do.
You've allowed me to experience something very hard to find unconditional love that exists in my body, soul, and mind.
I don't think you could ever feel all the love I have to give and I'm sure you'll never realize you've been my will to live.
Some of you are amazing friends and without you I don't know where I'd be. Having you in my life completes and fulfills every part of me.

Life is so precious And each day a gift So enjoy every minute As it were you last to live
Cherish your loved ones Hug them tight Share with them your heart And your time
Nothing is forever And life goes so fast Each minute that passes Is one you can't get back
When troubles arrive And knock you off your feet Stand up and smile And remember life is too sweet,
Every morning when you wake, Decide right from the start, That "Today will be a good day" And let it all in with an open heart. | |
