In a manner she responds, "Which Barbie? We have Barbie Goes to the Gym for $19.95, Barbie Goes to the Ball for $19.95, Barbie Goes Shopping for $19.95, Barbie Goes tothe Beach for $19.95, Barbie Goes Nightclubbing for $19.95, and Divorced Barbie for $395.00."



The guy asks, "Why is Divorced Barbie different from all the others?"

"Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured." – Mark Twain

Holding a grudge has about the same logic as drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die. You are harming yourself by carrying all of that negative energy. Let the bitterness go… for your own benefit. The person who criticized you is probably having a great time without giving you a second thought, while you waste your life sending them death rays with your mind

LIFE...

MIDWEEK INSPIRATION

Promises To Myself -

I will control my attitude.....and not let my attitude control me.

I will remember that true happiness is not always to achieve my goals….. but to learn to appreciate what I have achieved.

I will remember that people who are truly rich are not those who have the most………..but those who need the least…..and that money can buy everything …… but not necessarily happiness.

I will remember that I cannot make anyone love me……but I
can continue to love them wholeheartedly.

I will not waste time comparing myself to others, because there
is always someone better or worse than I am.

I will keep in mind that I am the master of what I keep to myself
and the slave of what I say.

I will remember that one can live for maybe 40 days without
food, 3 days without water…..and about 8 minutes without air
... but only for 1 second without hope.

I will keep in mind that some people may genuinely care......
but are just unable to show their feelings.

I will remember that even though I am entitled to be upset sometimes...... that does not give me the right to upset everyone
around me.

I will decide to be happy today with what I am and what I have....
..... Not die from envy and jealousy of what I lack.

I will remember that while it is important that I be forgiven by others ...... it is more important that I forgive myself.

I will remember to be honest with myself....... because that is the
source of true success in life.

I will value most not WHAT I have in my life, but WHO I have
in my life.

I will remember that being challenged in life is inevitable…..
however… being defeated is optional.

There will be many things in my life that will catch my eye but
only a few will catch my heart....and I will pursue only those.

I will remember that I can't be afraid of stepping on toes if I
want to go dancing.

Finally......I will always remember that my one and only TRUE
friend in this world.....is … GOD!

ஆனந்த யாழை மீட்டுகிறாய்,

அன்பெனும் குடையை நீட்டுகிறாய்,

அதில் ஆயிரம் மழைத்துளி கூட்டுகிறாய்.

இரு நெஞ்சம் இணைத்து பேசிட,

உலகில் பாஷைகள் எதுவும் தேவை இல்லை!

சிறு புல்லில் உறங்கும் பனியில் தெரியும்,

மலையின் அழகோ தாங்கவில்லை.

உந்தன் கைகள் பிடித்து போகும் வழி,

அது போதவில்லை இன்னும் வேண்டுமடி…

இந்த மண்ணில் இது போல் யாரும் இங்கே

என்றும் வாழவில்லை என்று தோன்றுதடி !

ஆனந்த யாழை மீட்டுகிறாய்,

அடி நெஞ்சில் வண்ணம் தீட்டுகிறாய்.

அன்பெனும் குடையை நீட்டுகிறாய்,

அதில் ஆயிரம் மழைத்துளி கூட்டுகிறாய்.

ஆனந்த யாழை மீட்டுகிறாய்,

வானத்து நிலவு சின்னதடி,

மேகத்தில் வரைந்தே பார்குதடி,

உன்னிடம் வெளிச்சம் கேட்குதடி,

அதை கையில் பிடித்து ஆறுதல்

உரைத்து வீட்டுக்கு அனுப்பு நல்லப்படி !

இந்த மண்ணில் இது போல் யாரும்

இங்கே என்றும் வாழவில்லை என்று தோன்றுதடி

ஆனந்த யாழை மீட்டுகிறாய்

RULES FOR STAYING YOUNG

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay 'them'

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.'

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love , whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.  

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER :

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

But do share this with someone.
 

We all need to live life to its fullest each day!!

Worry about nothing, pray about everything!!!

FITNESS

Add Fitness to your Daily Routine.

By Jackie Fildon from Boulder, CO USA.

If you find you can't devote enough time to getting in shape as you would like, there are still plenty of ways you can keep your body active while going about your normal routine.

Try to use stairways instead of elevators whenever possible.

If you can walk there or take a bike, let your body burn energy instead of taking your car.

If you are driving, instead of wasting time looking for a good spot, park further away and walk a couple extra blocks.

Turn your housework into a fitness challenge: Sweep and mop using as much energy as possible, exaggerating your arm movements. Fold your clothes and do a couple sets of squats at the same time. Whatever you're doing try and incorporate in some sort of routine that gets your muscles working and heart rate moving.

And if you absolutely can't miss your favorite show on TV, try doing some sit-ups and push-ups while you watch or during commercials.

STORY WITH MORAL....37

Once upon a time a big monk and a little monk were traveling together. They came to the bank of a river and found the bridge was damaged. They had to wade across the river.

There was a pretty lady who was stuck at the damaged bridge and couldn't cross the river.

The big monk offered to carry her across the river on his back to which the lady accepted.

The little monk was shocked by the move of the big monk and was thinking "How can big brother carry a lady when we are supposed to avoid all intimacy with females?" But he kept quiet.

The big monk carried the lady across the river and the small monk followed unhappily. When they crossed the river, the big monk let the lady down and they parted ways with her.

All along the way for several miles, the little monk was very unhappy with the act of the big monk. He was making up all kinds of accusations about big monk in his head. This got him madder and madder. But he still kept quiet. And the big monk had no inclination to explain his situation.

Finally, at a rest point many hours later, the little monk could not stand it any further, he burst out angrily at the big monk. "How can you claim yourself a devout monk, when you seize the first opportunity to touch a female, especially when she is very pretty?"

All your teachings to me make you a big hypocrite.

The big monk looked surprised and said, "I had put down the pretty lady at the river bank many hours ago, how come you are still carrying her along?"

Moral: This very old Chinese Zen story reflects the thinking of many people today. We encounter many unpleasant things in our life, they irritate us and they make us angry. But like the little monk, we are not willing to let them go away.

There is no point in remaining hurt by the unpleasant event after it is over. Learn to move on in life

WEEKEND WISDOM

To solve a problem or to reach your goal, you don't need to know all the answers in advance  -

• But you must have a clear idea of the problem or the goal you want to reach.

• All you have to do is know where you're going.

• The answers will come to you of their own accord.

• Don't procrastinate when faced with a big difficult problem, break the problem into parts, and handle one part at a time. Remember, the Impossible can always be broken down in to possibilities. 

• If you can get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.

• It's the job you never start that takes the longest to finish.

• Don't worry about what lies dimly at a distance, but do what lies clearly ahead.

• Your biggest opportunity is where you are right now.

• When you begin you are half done.

STORY WITH MORAL....36

Once a teacher took his class to a park and asked them to observe the park for a short span of time but all of them should not move from their location. After 5 minutes teacher asked each student to share what he/she has noticed. One student mentioned that he felt cool breeze which made him fresh and energetic. All students were cheered up by listening to this comment as they also started feeling the same. Another student said that green leaves and colorful flowers are an indication of life, hope and prosperity. All students felt optimist about this comment. Another student said that the silence in the surroundings and the yellow color of some of the leaves made him sad, lonely and pessimist about life. To this comment, all other students started yelling at him about being negative. The teacher asked the student stop criticizing their fellow being and stay silent. 

The teacher then said to his students that each one of them was given the same kind of situation/circumstances however each student had different observation and feelings like being happy, sad, fresh, cheerful, pessimist, optimist etc however by logic no one was completely wrong.  The Teacher further elaborated that each one of us is a unique personality. The observations and feelings of each individual can be unique however we must not disgrace anyone about what he has observed or felt. Our fellow beings can be slightly wrong, fully wrong or cent percent right at different moments in life. The uniqueness of each individual is as a result of his/her thought process, comprehension levels, mood swings, brought up, judgment style, vision & knowledge of the world,analytical skills and so on. However, the wisdom is to respect the feeling and actions of each individual as much as possible. And in case we want to correct someone, we must adapt a polite and decent approach and advice to the person should not be given in public rather in private. This is to ensure that respect and dignity of the person is not compromised. 

LIFE....

"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. 

Name them -Work, Family, Health, Friends & Spirit.

You Are keeping all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. 

But the other four balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of glass. 

If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They  will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it."

சிரிப்பு ஞானம்....64

Girl: "I can't be your valentine for medical reasons."
Boy: "Really?"
Girl: "Yeah, you make me sick!"

A young woman was taking an afternoon nap. After she woke up, she told her husband, "I just dreamt that you gave me a pearl necklace for Valentine's Day.
What do you think it means?"
"You shall know tonight", he said.
That evening, the man came home with a small package and gave it to his wife. Delighted, she opened it. She found a book entitled "The Meaning of Dreams".

Q: What did the boy octopus say to the girl octopus?
A: Can I hold your hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand?

Q: What did one snake say to the other snake?
A: Give me a little hug and a hiss, honey.

Love One another

Love one another, but make not a bond of love 

Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

Fill each other's cup, but drink not from one cup.

Give one another of your bread, but eat not from the same loaf.
 

Sing and dance together and be joyous,

but let each one of you be alone,

Even as the strings of a lute are alone

though they quiver with the same music.
 

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping;

For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.

And stand together yet not too near together;

For the pillars of the temple stand apart,

And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.

Khalil Gibran

HAPPY VALENTINE's DAY!
