Happy New Year 2008!!

Another fresh new year is here …
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!

This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest …
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!

I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs

- William Arthur Ward

Man in the glass...

[read this.... simply awesome]

When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day,
Just go to a mirror and look at yourself
And see what that man has to say.

For it isn’t your father or mother or wife
Whose judgment upon you must pass,
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.

Some people may think you a straight shooting chum
And call you a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you’re only a bum
If you can’t look him straight in the eye.

He’s the fellow to please, never mind all the rest,
For he’s with you clear to the end.
And you’ve passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the man in the glass is your friend.

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of life,
And get pats on your backs as you pass.
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears...
If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.

Promise Yourself . . .

Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can
disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to
every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel like there is
something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your
optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best,
and expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on the
greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give
every living person you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, and too
strong for fear, and too happy to permit the
presence of trouble . . .


[picked up from a fwd]

Moods of a woman :)

(well this ones not from a feminist for sure!!!)

An angel of truth and a dream of fiction,
A Woman is a bundle of contradictions.
She's afraid of a wasp, Will scream at a mouse,
But will tackle her husband alone in the house.

She'll take him for better; She'll take him for worse
She'll break open his head and then be his nurse.
But when he's well and can get out of bed.
She'll pick up the teapot and throw it at his head.

Beautiful and keen sighted yet blind,
Crafty and cruel, yet simple and kind.
She'll call him a king and then make him a clown.
Raise him on a pedestal, and then throw him flat down.

She inspires him to deeds that ennoble man,
Or make him her lackey to carry her fan.
She'll run away from him and never come back
But if he runs away she'll be on his tracks

Sour as vinegar, sweet as a rose
She'll kiss you one minute, then turn up her nose
She'll win you in range, enchant you in silk
She is stronger than brandy, milder than milk

At times revengful, merry and sad,
She hates you like Poison, but loves you like Mad.
