Today, upon a bus, I saw a very beautiful man
And wished I were as beautiful.
When suddenly he rose to leave,
I saw him hobble down the aisle.
He had one leg and wore a crutch.
But as he passed, he passed a smile.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have two legs; the world is mine. READ MORE

When I was in my younger days,
I weighed a few pounds less,
I needn’t hold my tummy in
To wear a belted dress.
But now that I am older,
I’ve set my body free;
There’s comfort of elastic
Where once my waist would be.
Inventor of those high-heeled shoes
My feet have not forgiven;
I have to wear a nine now,
But used to wear a seven.
And how about those pantyhose–
They’re sized by weight, you see,
So how come when I put them on,
The crotch is at my knees?
I need to wear these glasses
As the prints were getting smaller;
And it wasn’t very long ago
I know that I was taller.
Though my hair has turned to silver
and my skin no longer fits,
On the inside, I’m the same old me,
Just the outside’s changed a bit.
On a positive note I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad
it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she
handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled
Christmas tree lights.
I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your  parents,
you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life.
I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as  making a
“life.”
I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.
I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on
both hands.
You need to be able to throw something back.
I’ve learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you.
But if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of  others,
your work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you.
I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I
usually make the right decision.
I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one.
I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone.
People love that human touch – holding hands, a warm hug, or just a
friendly pat on the back.
I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn.
I’ve learned that you should pass this on to someone you care about. I just did.
Sometimes they just need a little something to make them smile.
I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget
what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. READ MORE

Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family.  The family as
rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion’s guest room.
        
Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement.  As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it.
        
When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, “Things aren’t always what they seem”.  The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife.
        
After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest.
        
When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears.  Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field.
        
The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could you have let this happen?
        
The first man had everything, yet you helped him, she accused.  The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die.
        
The older angel replied,”Things aren’t always what they seem.”
        
“When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall.
        
Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he  wouldn’t find it.”
        
“Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife.  I gave him the cow instead.
        
Things aren’t always what they seem.”
        
Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don’t turn out the way they should.  If you have faith, you just need to  trust that every outcome is always to your advantage.
                 
You might not know  it until some time later…

A little girl went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly jar from its hiding place in the closet. She poured the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three times, even. The total had to be exactly perfect. No chance here for mistakes. Carefully placing the coins back  in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way 6 blocks to Rexall’s Drug Store with the big red Indian Chief sign above the door. She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment. READ MORE
