A man stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to his mother who lived two hundred miles away.
As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing. He asked her what was wrong and she replied, “I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother. But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars.”
The man smiled and said, “Come on in with me. I’ll buy you a rose.” He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother’s flowers.
As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home. She said, “Yes, please! You can take me to my mother.” She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.
The man returned to the flower shop, canceled the wire order, picked up a bouquet and drove the two hundred miles to his mother’s house.
Moral: Don’t Send Artificial Loves to your parents. Give them the respect and courtesy they desire. They are your most precious Treasure, Care for them. God Forbid, if they leave this world then one can do nothing but regret.

It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and
persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual
affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment,
it will not be created for years or even generations.
Khalil Gibran
It is with true love as it is with ghosts; everyone talks about it,
but few have seen it.
Francois de La Rouchefoucauld
Love cures people, both the ones who give it and the ones who
receive it.
Dr. Karl Menninger
My favourite:
Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking
outward together in the same direction.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing;
a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)
Immature love says: “I love you because I need you.”
Mature love says: “I need you because I love you.”
Erich Fromm
Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life;
love harmonizes it.
Hatred darkens life; love illumines it.
Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968)
There is only one kind of love,
but there are a thousand imitations.
Francois de La Rouchefoucauld
To keep your marriage brimming, with love in the wedding cup,
whenever you’re wrong, admit it; whenever you’re right, shut up.
Ogden Nash
The course of true love never did run smooth.
William Shakespeare
Men always want to be a woman’s first love,
women like to be a man’s last romance.
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Make a Difference
Your time is never wasted when you’re truly making a difference. Every productive effort adds value to your world.
Don’t worry about what’s in it for you. If you’re making a difference, if you’re making a positive contribution to life, there’s always something in it for you.
Though there may not seem to be any direct or immediate rewards,your efforts will most certainly be rewarded. The longer you’re willing to wait for those rewards, the bigger they will be.
Many times your efforts will pay off in ways you could not have foreseen. Keep being creative, keep being productive,
Keep being effective, and keep being your best.
It may sometimes seem that no one appreciates the work you’re doing. When you feel that way, then raise your efforts to an even higher level, for at some point someone will definitely take notice.
Be sincere in your efforts and in your desir to make a valuable, meaningful positive difference. And know that the rewards will always come.
Love is an act of endless forgivenessA tender look which becomes a habit.”

no responses Forgiving Mistakes of the Past
A man should never be ashamed to own he
has been in the wrong which is but saying…
That he is wiser today than he was yesterday.
-Alexander Pope~
The past is gone.
But it is a piece of the experience that
defines who we are today.
All fear stress and regret come from the past.
We can be free of them entirely by
choosing to live in this moment.
In this moment life is simpler mistakes are
less devastating work is more productive and
relationships are more rewarding and intimate.
Our talents and passions thrive.
The world looks different.
As tempting as it may be to fantasize the
what ifs of the past those experiences are only
helpful to us as we live in this moment.
The mistakes of the past are a source of wisdom and
insight as long as we choose to bring those things
to the present and leave regret behind.
Mistakes are a part of the process that every one
of us has to experience to learn and grow.
To forgive the past is to invite hope, peace,
innocence and freedom without limitations
