| xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Here is a sampling of e-mails that has made the rounds many times in our mailboxes, anonymous authors. It revolves around love: ======================================== THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE: People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on.When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season. LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person/people (any way); and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.(3/2000) Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching. (6/99) * Few people have sent me different versions of "What Love Is" here it is one of the versions: (5/99) 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. I've learned-that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy 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 fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better know something. I've learned-that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do. I've learned- that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life. I've learned-that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be. I've learned-that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them. I've learned- that you can keep going long after you can't. 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. I've learned- that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place. I've learned-that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences. I've learned-that money is a lousy way of keeping score. I've learned-that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time. 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. I've learned-that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated. I've learned-that you should never tell a child their dreams are unlikely or outlandish. Few things are more humiliating, and what a tragedy it would be if they believed it I've learned-that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that. I've learned-that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you are to learn to forgive yourself. I've learned-that no matter how badly your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief. I've learned-that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. I've learned-that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change. I've learned-that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever. I've learned-that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different. I've learned-that no matter how you try to protect your children, they will eventually get hurt and you will hurt in the process. I've learned-that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you. I've learned-that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help. I've learned-that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being. I've learned-that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon. I've learned-that it's hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people's feelings and standing up for what you believe. Send this to all the people in whom you have faith. "Never waste an opportunity to tell someone you care for them." If you liked it, here is the lyrics of Buz Lehrman's song: Everybody's Free (to Wear Sunscreen) Directed By: Baz Luhrmann Written By: Mary Schmich for the Chicago Tribune 1997 Ok, these are probably the longest lyrics you'll ever read on the internet... but if I could suggest only ONE set of lyrics to read...it's these...these are NOT only for the class of '97...they're for everyone... Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ?97 (and beyond...) If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience I will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you?ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can?t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You?re not as fat as you imagine. Don?t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing everyday that scares you Sing Don?t be reckless with other people?s hearts, don?t put up with people who are reckless with yours. Floss Don?t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you?re ahead, sometimes you?re behind the race is long, and in the end, it?s only with yourself. Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how. Stretch Don?t feel guilty if you don?t know what you want to do with your life the most interesting people I know didn?t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don?t. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, you?ll miss them when they?re gone. Maybe you?ll marry, maybe you won?t, maybe you?ll have children, maybe you won?t, maybe you?ll divorce at 40, maybe you?ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary what ever you do, don?t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either your choices are half chance, so are everybody else?s. Enjoy your body, use it every way you can don?t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it?s the greatest instrument you?ll ever own.. Dance even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. Read the directions, even if you don?t follow them. Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly. Get to know your parents, you never know when they?ll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography in lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young. Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you?ll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders. Don?t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out. Don?t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and selling it for more than it?s worth. But trust me on the sunscreen! -Baz Luhrmann / Mary Schmich ********* Here is what I received from a good friend of mine (6/99): A GOOD LUCK TANTRA - TOTEM INSTRUCTIONS FOR LIFE 1.
