Friendship
Have received this today, thought i would share it with you.
READ THIS VERY SLOWLY.... IT'S PRETTY PROFOUND.
Too many people put off something that brings them joy
just because they haven't thought about it, don't have
it on their schedule, didn't know it was coming or are
too rigid to depart from their routine.
I got to thinking one day about all those women on the
Titanic who passed up dessert at dinner that fateful
night in an effort to cut back. From then on, I've
tried to be a little more flexible.
How many women out there will eat at home because
their husband didn't suggest going out to dinner until
after something had been thawed? Does the word
"refrigeration" mean nothing to you?
How often have your kids dropped in to talk and sat in
silence while you watched 'Jeopardy' on television?
I cannot count the times I called my sister and said,
"How about going to lunch in a half hour?" She would
gas up and stammer, "I can't. I have clothes on the
line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known
yesterday, I had a late breakfast, It looks like
rain." And my personal favorite: "It's Monday." She
died a few years ago. We never did have lunch
together.
Because Americans cram so much into their lives, we
tend to schedule our headaches.. We live on a sparse
diet of promises we make to ourselves when all the
conditions are perfect!
We'll go back and visit the grandparents when we get
Steve toilet-trained. We'll entertain when we replace
the living-room carpet. We'll go on a second
honeymoon when we get two more kids out of college.
Life has a way of accelerating as we get older. The
days get shorter, and the list of promises to
ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and
all we have to show for our lives is a litany of "I'm
going to," "I plan on," and "Someday, when things are
settled down a bit."
When anyone calls my 'seize the moment' friend, she is
open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps
an open mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is
contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and
you're ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of
Rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord.
My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I
love ice cream. It's just that I might as well apply
it directly to my stomach with a spatula and eliminate
the digestive process. The other day, I stopped the
car and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an
iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy.
Now...go on and have a nice day. Do something you
WANT to......not something on your SHOULD DO list. If
you were going to die soon and had only one phone call
you could make, who would you call and what would you
say? And why are you waiting?
Make sure you read this to the end; you will
understand why I sent this to you.
Have you ever watched kids playing on a merry go round
or listened to the rain lapping on the ground? Ever
followed a butterfly's erratic flight or gazed at the
sun into the fading night? Do you run through each
day on the fly? When you ask "How are you?" Do you
hear the reply?
When the day is done, do you lie in your bed with the
next hundred chores running through your head? Ever
told your child, "We'll do it tomorrow." And in your
haste, not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch? Let a
good friendship die? Just call to say "Hi"?
When you worry and hurry through your day, it is like
an unopened gift....Thrown away.... Life is not a
race. Take it slower. Hear the music before the song
is over.
"Life may not be the party we hoped for... but while
we are here we might as well dance!"

Re: Friendship
Ever told your child, "We'll do it tomorrow." And in your
haste, not see his sorrow?
As I was reading this my 4 year old asked if "can we bake today mummy" I was about to say "not today Tom" but quickly stopped myself!!!
Looks like Postman Pat cakes for lunch then!!!
Thanks Mez X
