Quote Of The Day

[Saima Baloch]

Life... is like a box of chocolates - a cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that no one ever asks for, unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates.  So, you're stuck with mostly undefinable whipped mint crap, mindlessly wolfed down when there's nothing else to eat while you're watching the game.  Sure, once is a while you get a peanut butter cup or an English toffee but it's gone too fast and the taste is fleeting.  In the end, you are left with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts, which, if you are desperate enough to eat, leaves nothing but an empty box of useless brown paper.  ~The X-Files

[Mahnaaz]

"You are in charge of your feelings, beliefs, and actions. And you teach others how to behave toward you.
   While you cannot change other people, you can influence them through your own behaviors and actions. By being a living role model of what you want to receive from others, you create more of what you want in your life."

 (Eric Allenbaugh)

[Rind Baba]

"You can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying about the future."

[baloch_friend]

   You know its love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you're not part of their happiness.

[Perozai R!nd]

Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, Another golden opportunity to complete
what you were unable to finish yesterday.

******************

Life, love, and laughter -- what priceless gifts to give our children.

******************

The gift of sight to see beyond the darker clouds of now!

******************

Every problem has a gift for you in its hands.

******************

There are many things in life that are beyond our control. But there
are few things in life that are beyond our power of choice and our
ability to make lemonade from lemons if we just put our minds to it
while we focus on the gifts of the present

Private Thoughts

The night falls upon me,
seeking its silence,
welcoming it with anticipation,
alone with the thoughts of you,
searching the bed trying to find you.


*LONGING*
In the morning when the world is awake,
I think of you,
the daydream,
the vision of our happiness,
the planing of a future life together.


*SPELLBINDING*
At midday the world pauses,
time stands still
my breathing in harmony with my heart beat ,
I live and breath for you.


*CONTEMPLATION*
In the eveing I look for you,
we laugh, we play, we cry, we embrace,
we share ourselves with one another,
we confide our most intimate thoughts.


*BELONGING*
As time goes on our love grows stronger,
want, desire, need, urge, impelled,
the hunger for each other,
the itch, the lust, the demand,
strong conscious impluses,
a longing that is spellbinding in deep contemplation,
promises that satisfies the soul,
the appetite, the craving,
the void to be filled,
the yearning of belonging to you.
