Some thoughts for the new year...

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. >> Happy new year - shibs

Friends

Friends in different stages of life…..

In kindergarten your idea of a good friend was the person who let you have the red
crayon when all that was left was the ugly black one.

In primary school your idea of a good friend was the person helped you stand up to the
class bully; shared their lunch with you when you forgot yours on the bus;
saved a seat on the back of the bus for you; knew who you had a crush on and
never understood why.

In secondary school your idea of a good friend was the person who let you copy
their social studies homework; went to that "cool" party with you so you wouldn't
wind up being the only freshie there; did not let you lunch alone.
In preuniversity

your idea of a good friend was the person who gave you rides
in their new car; convinced your parents that you shouldn't be grounded;
consoled you when you broke up with Nick or Susan; found you a date to the prom
or went to the prom with you (both without dates); helped you pick a university
and assured you that you would get into that university; helped you deal with
your parents who were having a hard time letting you go.

On the threshold of adulthood your idea of a good friend was the person who was
there when you just couldn't deal with your parents; assured you that now that
you and Nick or you and Susan were back together, you could make it through anything;
just silently hugged you as you looked through blurry eyes at 18 years of memories;
and reassured you that you would make it in university as well as you had these past
18 years; and most importantly sent you off to university knowing you were loved.

Now, your idea of a good friend is still the person who gives you the better
of the two choices, hold your hand when you're scared, helps you fight off
those who try to take advantage of you, thinks of you at times when you are not there,
reminds you of what you have forgotten, helps you put the past behind you but
understands when you need to hold on to it a little longer, stays with you so that
you have confidence, goes out of their way to make time for you, helps you clear
up your mistakes, helps you deal with pressure from others, smiles for you when
they are sad, helps you become a better person, and most importantly loves you!
