Friendship
So when do you know you have a true friend. It is not always that they come through for you but there are those people who can't stay out of your life. They are sometimes closer than your siblings. You drive each other mad and still get back to speaking to each other. A wise man said "if you want to have a friend be one"........ We can have friends from different age groups, some mentors and some you mentor.. There is still a big debate on having friends from the opposite sex, that it can be mistaken?????? Well I don't know because one of my best friends is a guy.
Reassess
It is such a strange feeling when the truth suddenly dawns on you and you begin to question all the things you have been doing all along.
Were you wasting your life or were they actually meant to happen?
It doesn't matter what the answer is as worrying and regrets will not change the past.
I have slowly come to learn that self discovery is an endless journey and I need to be patient with myself.
It is okay to not feel like doing things the old way or seeing your old friends everyday.
It is okay to take time and just be with yourself and be at peace with You

THE MAGIC THREAD
"Too often, people want what they want (or
what they think they want, which is usually "happiness"
in one form or another) right now. The irony of their
impatience is that only by learning to wait, and by a
willingness to accept the bad with the good, do we usually
attain those things that are truly worthwhile."
LONG BUT WORTH IT
Peter, a boy who is strong and able yet sadly flawed by an attitude of impatience. Always dissatisfied with his present condition, Peter spends his life daydreaming about the future.
One day while wandering in the forest, Peter meets a strange, old woman who gives him a most tantalizing opportunity --the chance to skip the dull, mundane moments of life. She hands Peter a silver ball from which a tiny, gold thread protrudes. "This is your life thread," she explains. "Do not touch it and time will pass normally. But if you wish time to pass more quickly, you have only
to pull the thread a little way and an hour will pass like a second. But I warn you, once the thread has been pulled out, it cannot be pushed back in again." This magical thread seems the answer to all of Peter's problems. It is just what he has always wanted. He takes the ball and runs home.
The following day in school Peter has his first opportunity to put the silver ball to use. The lesson is dragging, and the teacher scolds Peter for not concentrating. Peter fingers the silver ball and gives the thread a slight tug. Suddenly the teacher dismisses the class, and Peter is free to leave school. He is overjoyed! How easy his life will now be. From this moment, Peter begins to pull the thread
a little every day. But soon Peter begins to use the magic thread to rush through larger portions of life. Why waste time pulling the thread just a little every day when he can pull it hard and complete school altogether? He does so and finds himself out of school and apprenticed in a trade. Peter uses the same technique to rush through his engagement to his sweetheart. He cannot bear to wait months to
marry her, so he uses the gold thread to hasten the arrival of his wedding day.
Peter continues this pattern throughout his life. When hard, trying times come, he escapes them with his magic thread. When the baby cries at night, when he faces financial struggles, when he wishes his own children to be launched in careers of their own, Peter pulls the magic thread and bypasses the discomfort of the moment. But sadly, when he comes to the end of his life, Peter realizes
the emptiness of such an existence. By allowing impatience and discontentment to rule him, Peter has
robbed himself of life's richest moments and memories. With only the grave to look forward to, he deeply regrets ever having used the magic thread.

This too shall pass
To all those suffering from sadness or depression, know that it is not your fault,it is not because you are weak,it is not because you are just not grateful enough.it is not because you religious enough.it is not because you do not have enough faith,it not because God is angry with you.To all the well meaning people who tell you this,just smile. And know deep in your heart that the tests of God come with different forms to different people.And know that,by the help of God, every test can become a tool to get closer to Him.And that, verily, with hardship come ease and like all things of this world this too shall pass.
THE DYING MOTHER NATURE
Around
the globe, seasons are shifting, temperatures are climbing and sea levels are
rising. Meanwhile, our planet must still supply us and all living things with
air, water, food and safe places to live. If we don't act now, climate change
will rapidly alter the lands and waters we all depend upon for survival,
leaving our children and grandchildren with a very different world. The planet
is warming, from North Pole to South Pole, and everywhere in between. Globally,
the mercury is already up more than 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius),
and even more in sensitive polar region. The effects of rising temperatures
aren’t waiting for some far-flung future, they’re happening right now. Signs
are appearing all over, and some of them are surprising. The heat is not only
melting glaciers and sea ice; it’s also shifting precipitation patterns and
setting animals on the move.
Effects
of global warming include; Hurricanes and other storms are likely to become
stronger; Species that depend on one another may become out of sync. For example,
plants could bloom earlier than their pollinating insects become active; Floods
and droughts will become more common; Less fresh water will be available; Some
diseases will spread such as malaria carried by mosquitoes and ecosystem will
change some species will move farther north or become more successful; others
won’t be able to move and could become extinct. It’s our responsibility to save our mother nature from negative consequences of global warming. What step(s) are
you take today to reduce global warming? Let us all be responsible in making our planet a better place to live. Mother nature do not need us to survive, we need it to survive!!!
