What
does "Thank You" really mean?
" Thank you" is one of those wonderful phrases
people use to express a special gratitude.
But there's often a lot more to it
than those two words can say.
When it comes from the heart, from deep inside
the nicest feelings and the most special thoughts,
"Thank you" means so much.
It means thank you for taking the time to show
that you care. It means "you really made
my day,"
and sometimes it means that you really make all
the days so much better.
It means you make me feel so nice,
and I wish I could do the same for you...
just by letting you know how much you mean to me.
"Thank you" means you didn't have to...
but I'm so grateful that you did.
"Thank you" means that you've done something special
that I'll never
forget.

Light
a candle
Light a candle,
listen to the wind,
Draw a picture,
eat some chocolate,
open a book,
look at the moon,
smile at yourself.

"A SMILE costs nothing, but gives much.
It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give.
It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.
None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it,
and none is so poor but that he can be made rich by it.
A smile creates happiness in the home,
fosters good will in business, and is the countersign of friendship.
It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged,
sunshine to the sad, and is nature's best antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen,
for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away.
Some people are too tired to give you a smile.
Give them one of yours,
as none needs a smile so much
as he who has no more to give."
Advance
in a direction of your dreams
If one advances
confidently
in the direction of his
dreams
and endeavors to life the life
which he has imagined,
he will meet with a
success
unexpected in common hours.
If you have built castles
in the air,
your work need not be lost;
Now put the foundations
under them.
Henry David Thoreau
Things
that make Sense
- I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone
who can be loved. The rest is up to them.
- I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.
And it's not the end of the world.

it.
- I've learned that it's not what you have in your life, but who you have in
your life that counts.
- I've learned that you can get by on charm for about 15 minutes. After that,
you'd better know something.
- I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself
to the best others can do, but to the best you can do.

they do about it.
- I've learned that you can do something in an instant that will give you a
heartache for life.

than it is to think.

may be the last time you see them.

- I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
- I've learned that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

a relationship is at first,
the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.

my grandma, and I'm kinda happy about it.
- I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry,
but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
- I've learned that true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
- I've learned that just because someone doesn't
love you
the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

you've had and what you've learned from them and less
to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

someone is,
they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for

I'm forced to choose sides even when I don't want to.
- I've learned that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't
love each other.

in them.

totally different.
Many roads
Sometimes it seems
like there are too
many roads . . .
and you are
not sure that
you will ever
find the right
one.
but that's only
because we all make
our own story . . .
and exploring is how
each new adventure
is begun

Life
holds wonderful dreams
Your Life Holds
Unlimited Potential
and Wonderful Dreams
You have the ability
to attain whatever you seek;
within you is every potential
you can imagine.
Always aim higher than
you believe you can reach.
So often, you'll discover
that when your talents
are set free
by your imagination,
you can achieve any goal.
If people offer their
help or wisdom
as you go through life,
accept it gratefully.
You can learn much from those
who have gone before you.
But never be afraid or hesitant
to step off the accepted path
and head off in your own direction
if your heart tells you
that it's the right way for you.
Always believe that you will
ultimately succeed
at whatever you do,
and never forget the value
of persistence, discipline,
and determination.
You are meant to be
whatever you dream
of becoming.
Edmund O'Neill
A
dozen things to do today
Remember that some of the world's
nicest joys are its most special people,
and that you are definitely one of them.
Take care of that special person.
Enjoy the ride.
When the world is too busy,
slow it down.
Climb one rung higher on the ladder to your stars.
Imagine what the view will look
like when you get where you're going.
Stay in touch with your inner voice;
it always speaks the truth.
When you've been working too hard,
give your batteries time to recharge.
Remember that you are someone
who is thought of -
with friendship and with love.
Keep a smile on that wonderful face of yours.
Have a great day.
And be happy!

The Present
Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400.
It carries over no balance from day to day.
Every evening it deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during
the day.
What would you do?
Draw out every cent, of course!
Each of us has such a bank.
It's name is TIME.
Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds.
Every night it writes off, as lost whatever of this you
have failed to invest to good purpose.
It carries over no balance.
It allows no overdraft.
Each day it opens a new account for your.
Each night it burns the day's deposits; the loss is yours.
There is no going back.
There is no drawing against the "tomorrow."
You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to
get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success!
The clock is running.
Make the most of today.
To realize the value of ONE YEAR,
ask a student who failed a grade.
To realize the value of ONE MONTH,
ask a mother who gave birth to a pre-mature baby.
To realize the value of ONE WEEK,
ask the editior of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the the value of ONE DAY,
ask a daily wage laborer with kids to feed.
To realize the value of ONE HOUR,
ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of ONE MINUTE,
ask the man who missed his train.
To realize the value of ONE SECOND,
ask the person who just avoid an accident.
To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND,
ask the person who won a silver medal in the Olympics.
Treasure every moment that you have!
And treasure it more because you've shared it with someone
special - special enough to share your time.
And remember that time waits for no one.
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift.
Time.......
A
long overdue note to you
It has been a long time since
I've been in touch. But that
doesn't mean you haven't
been on my mind.
I think about you so much.
You and I will always be close.
And you deserve to know that
you always have - and always will -
hold a very special place in my heart.
Along with my favorite memories
and right beside my highest hopes,
I keep a very precious reminder that
...we'll never be apart.
Jenn Davids
I
knew I'd miss you
I Knew I'd Miss You.
When you care about someone
as much as I do about you,
being apart
is a hard thing
to get used to.
I thought I'd handle it
just fine...
and that I'd be happy
just to keep you on my mind.
But it isn't always that easy...
Sometimes the one thing that would
please me the most... is simply
seeing you.
I knew that I'd miss you.
I just didn't
know
I'd miss you
as much
as I do.
Alin Austin
When
I don't feel like feeling
When I don't feel like feeling
or trying at all.
When live looks too hard
and the road seems too long.
When I'm broken in a hundred pieces
and can't face one more mile,
you pick me up
and put me back together.
And make me smile.
Ashley
Memories
Memories keep the one you loved
close to you in spirit and thought
and always in your heart,
today and forever.
To
you just because...
You're very special to me
I want this message to put
a smile on your face.
I want it to remind you
that you have been on my mind.
I want it to tell you that
I think you're wonderful.
I want it to be a beautiful part
of this day.
And I want it
to help you remember
-every time you remember it
in the days yet to be -
that this message was sent to you...
just
because
you're very special to me.
Collin McCarty
When
somebody dies
When somebody dies,
a cloud turns into an angel,
and flies up to tell God
to put another flower on a pillow.
A bird gives the message back to the world,
and sings a silent prayer
that makes the rain cry.
People disappear,
but they never really go away.
The spirits up there put the sun to
bed,
wake up grass, and spin the earth in dizzy circles.
Sometimes you can see them
dancing in a cloud during the daytime,
when they're supposed to be sleeping.
They paint the rain bows and also the sunsets
and make waves splash and tug at the tide.
They toss shooting stars and listen to wishes.
And when they sing windsongs, they whisper to us,
don't miss me too much.
The view is nice
and I'm doing just fine.
Ashley
Close
to us forever
Memories keep those we love close to us forever
although words seem to say so little,
I hope they help in some small way
to ease the sense of loss
that you're experiencing today.
Hold fast to your memories,
to all of the cherished moments of the past,
to the blessings and the laughter,
the joys and the celebrations,
the sorrow and the tears.
They all add up to a treasure
of fond yesterdays
that you shared and spent together,
and they keep the one you loved
close to you in spirit and thought.
The special moments
and memories in your life
will never change.
They will always be in your heart,
today and forevermore.

Some
thoughts on Marriage
Getting married is very much like going to a continental restaurant with
friends. You order what you want, then when you see what the other fellow
has, you wish you had ordered that.
At the cocktail party, one woman said to another, "Aren't you wearing your
wedding ring on the wrong finger?" the other replied, "Yes, I am,
I married
the wrong man."
Man is incomplete until he is married. Then he is really finished.
Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his bachelor's degree and
the woman gets her master's.
A little boy asked his father, "Daddy, how much does it cost to get
married?" And the father replied, " I don't know, son, I'm still paying
for
it."
Young son: Is it true, Dad, I heard that in some parts of Africa a man
doesn't know his wife until he marries her? Dad: That happens in most
countries, son.
Then there was a man who said, "I never knew what real happiness was until
I
got married; and then it was too late.
A happy marriage is a matter of give and take; the husband gives and the
wife takes.
Three rings: Engagement ring, Wedding ring, Suffering. When a newly married
man looks happy, we know why. But when a ten-year married man looks happy -
we wonder why.
Married life is very frustrating. In the first year of marriage, the man
speaks and the wife listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the
husband listens. In the third year, they both speak and the neighbors
listen.
After a quarrel, a wife said to her husband, "You know, I was a fool when
I
married you." And the husband replied, "Yes, dear, but I was in love
and
didn't notice.
It doesn't matter how often a married man changes his job, he still ends up
with the same boss.
A man inserted an 'ad' in the classifies: "Wife wanted". Next day
he
received a hundred letters. They all said the same thing: "You can have
mine."
When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one
thing: either it is a new car or a new wife.
A perfect wife is one who helps the husband with dishes.
A woman was telling her friend, "It is I who made my husband a millionaire."
"And what was he before you married him," Asked the friend. The woman
replied, "A multi-millionaire."
Sometimes
Sometimes in your life you might feel lonely. Its that time when you are
all by yourself thinking for once in your life that you want to have
someone to share your life with. Sometimes you wonder what life would be
like to have that special someone again. And sometimes you wonder
whether if ever you will find the right person. But what is right and
and what is wrong you wonder. How can you tell when you have met that
person? How do you know that it will last? How can you tell that he or
she will not change?
Sometimes when you met that someone, he will change
as time goes by.
Everyone change you say. But if that somebody is really that someone
you have been looking for, one thing should never change and that is his
or her love for you. You have heard of the famous saying "Through thick
and thin" but most couples could not survive that period. You have heard
"Love conquers everything" Does it really? In search of love you
sometimes get confused between infactuation and true love. Infactuation
is the thing that will not survive "thick and thin" and neither will
it
"conquers everything". How then you asked yourself, can you tell the
difference. Ask yourself, did this someone stick to you no matter what
how many of your bad sides have you shown to him or her. Can you call
this someone and ask for help or favour and he or she and you will not
fear "no" as an answer. Can you rely on this someone no matter what
state is he or she in, be it angry or sad, happy or dissapointed. He or
she is always willing to hear your problems. Can you look into this
someone's eyes and you feel that you understand him or her or suddenly
you know what he or she is thinking. There is no need for anyone to speak.
The list of questions to ask yourself would be
endless. The bottomline
is to remember that true love is a perfect balance between two
people.Its not one sided. Its a perfect harmonious compliments between the two.
Sometimes, the best way to obtain true love
is not to wait for true
love to come to you but to search for it. And not by going to everyone
and asking "Are you my true love?" but by giving him or her the gift.The
gift of love. It is only by giving your love to someone that you will
find love lifted to new levels that you never dreamt possible. And when
you have found your love... it is by giving that you will sustain your
relationship. Never stop giving, ever...
Sometimes but not all the time, you shouldn't take
people for granted
for sometimes people are blind and not notice the extraordinary of the ordinary...
Sometimes you have to love that someone just enough
coz that someone
your love might be someone your hate and hate that someone just enough
because that someone your hate might be someone you love someday...
Sometimes life takes a very interesting turn...
what you never expect,
happens and what you expected, never...
A
dream within a dream
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow: You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night or in a day,
In a vision or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand -
How few! Yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep
While I weep - while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
Edgar Allan Poe
To a cat
Stately, kindly, lordly friend,
Condescend
Here to sit by me, and turn
Glorious eyes that smile and burn,
Golden eyes, love's lustrous need,
On the golden page I read.
All your wondrous wealth of hair,
Dark and fair,
Silken-shaggy, soft and bright
As the clouds and beams of night,
Pays my reverent hand's caress
Back with friendlier gentleness.
Dogs may fawn on all and some
As they come;
You, a friend of loftier mind,
Answer friends alone in kind.
Just your foot upon my hand
Softly bids it understand.
Morning round this silent sweet
Garden-seat
Sheds ist wealth of gathering light,
Thrills the gradual clouds with might,
Changes woodland, orchard, heath,
Lawn, and garden there beneath.
Fair and dim they gleamed below:
Now they glow
Deep as even your sunbright eyes,
Fair as even the wakening skies.
Can it not or can it be
Now that you give thanks to see?
May not you rejoice as I,
Seeing the sky
Change to heaven revealed, and bid
Earth reveal the heaven it hid
All night long from stars and moon,
Now the sun sets all in tune?
What within you wakes with day
Who can say?
All too little may we tell,
Friends who like each other well,
What might happily, if we might,
Bid us read our lives aright.
Wild on woodland ways your sires
Flashed like fires;
Fair as flame and fierce and fleet
As with wings on wingless feet
Shone and sprang your mother, free,
Bright and brave as wind or sea.
Free and proud and glad as they,
Here to-day
Rests or roams their radiant child,
Vanquished not, but reconciled,
Free from curb of aught above
Save the lovely curb of love.
Love through dreams of souls divine
Faine would shine
Round a dawn whose light and song
Then should right our mutual wrong -
Speak, and seal the love-lit law
Sweet Assisi's seer foresaw.
Dreams were theirs ; yet happily may
Dawn a day
When such friends and fellows born,
Seeing our earth as fair at morn,
May for wiser love's sake see
More of heaven's deep heart than we.
Algernon Charles Swinburne
Berlin
It even hurts me
thinking that he
will be in my arms
They won't feel the warmth
which always runs through
when I'm holding you
My heart will cry too
when I'll get his kiss
'cause it's you that I miss
know how you think about this
you should not care
'cause you say it's no love that we share
But I know you're just not aware
that you do love me
you said you don't like that he
will sleep with me
you said it hurts you, so -
why don't you see that you do love me?
Zauberfee 10/94
Somebody
who caught my wishes
A wish high above the sky
never comes true.
A thought one second on earth
can let us smile or cry.
Nobody can tell
why I am sad
but my thoughts are flying
around heaven.
Somebody caught them.
The clouds disappeared,
I´m smiling cause I can see the light
- that will light me through life -

Just
a dream?
Once a little girl
had a dream.
She fell in love with a prince.
The prince was not bad,
princes are never bad - she thought -
So why is she crying?
His voice was loud and scary
but his words were sweet.
His fists were hard
but his body was tender.
Her soul was bleeding
and she couldn´t open her eyes.
Is this the dream
a little girl would dream of?

A
point in my Life
I had reached a point in my life
where I felt that "true love"
was a thing of the past for me.
There were nice people, it's true,
but no more magic,
no more being swept off my feet.
And right about when I was ready
to close the door on that chapter of my life,
you walked in....and everything changed.
Suddenly, I found myself
smiling almost all the time.
And the more I learned about you,
the more astounded I felt
at just how perfect you were for me.
There was no escaping the fact
that what was happening between us
was meant to be.
And now, every time
you hold me in your arms,
I realize that life saved
the very best...for last
Ayer nomas
Ayer nomás,...
pensaba yo si algún día,
podré encontrar,...alguien que me pudiera amar..
Ayer nomás,...una mujer en mi camino,
me hizó creer que amandola sería feliz,
Ayer nomás,..esa mujer vino a mis brazos,
y la besé sin fundamento,
Hoy desperté,..pensando en ella y me dí cuenta,
que estabamos equivocados,...
ninguno ya sabría amar!

tarde, tambien sin vos
...para verte como yo te quiero
primero es necesario que cierre los ojos...
luego, como si pasara mis dedos por tu cara
pasará mi mente, imaginándola,
siempre sonrriente, siempre dispuesta tu boca
...al beso.
Berni, Montevideo 11.11.98
Vorrei
Vorrei essere una Tua lacrima:
per nascere dai Tuoi occhi,
scivolare sulle Tue guance
e morire sulle Tue labbra.
