Every so often things pass through our emails or we run across something on the Internet that is too good not to share.

I know that many times these are things I find when I can relate to them most, even if I do not know completely how the relate at the time.....

[Blondie]

When tomorrow starts without me

and I 'm not there to see,

If the sun should rise and find

your eyes all filled

with tears for me,

I wish so much you wouldn't cry

the way you did today,

While thinking of the many things

we didn't get to say...

I know how much you love me,

As much as I love you,

And each time that you think of

me,

I know you'll miss me too,

But when tomorrow starts without

me,

Please try to understand.

That an angel came and called

my name and took me by the

hand...

And said my place was ready

In Heaven far above,

And those things

I dearly love...

But as I turned to walk away,

A tear fell from my eye,

For all of life,

I 'd always thought,

I didn't want to die,

I had so much to live for,

So much yet to do,

It seemed almost impossible,

that I was leaving you...

I thought of all the yesterdays,

the good ones and the bad,

I thought of all the love we shared,

And all the fun we had,

If I could relive yesterday,

Just even for a while,

I 'd say goodbye and kiss you,

and maybe see you smile,

But then I fully realized,

that that could never be,

For emptiness and

memories,

Would take the place of me.

And when I thought

of worldly things,

I might miss come tomorrow,

I thought of you,

and when I did,

My heart was filled with sorrow,

But when I walked through

Heaven's gates,

I felt so much at home,

When God looked down and

smiled at me,

From His great golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity, and

all I 've promised you...

Today your life on Earth is past,

But here it starts anew".

"I promise no tomorrow...

But today will always last,

and since each day's the same day,

There's no longing for the past".

"But you have been so faithful,

So trusting and so true,

Though there were times you did

some things, you knew you

shouldn't do".

"But you have been forgiven,

And now at last you're free,

So won't you take my hand now

And share My life with Me"?

"So when tomorrow starts

without me,

Don't think we're far apart,

for every time you think of me,

I'm right here in your Heart".

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.
Henry David Thoreau

The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had means, time, influence and educational advantages; the question is what he will do with the things he has. The moment a young man ceases to dream or to bemoan his lack of opportunities and resolutely looks his conditions in the face, and resolves to change them, he lays the corner-stone of a solid and honorable success.
Hamilton Wright Mabie

All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible.
T.E. Lawrence

A Divorce Story
by: Author Unknown, Source Unknown

She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases. On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things. On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candle-light, put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle ofspring-water. When she had finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar into the hollow of the curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left. When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, all was bliss for the first few days. Then slowly, the house began to smell. They tried everything; cleaning, mopping and airing the place out. Vents were checked for dead rodents and carpets were steam cleaned. Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which they had to move out for a few days and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting. Nothing worked. People stopped coming over to visit. Repairmen refused to work in the house. The maid quit. Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move. A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they could not find a buyer for their stinky house. Word got out and eventually even the local realtors refused to return their calls. Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place. The ex-wife called the man and asked how things were going. He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely and said that she missed her old home terribly and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for getting the house back. Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was, he agreed on a pricet hat was about 1/10th of what the house had been worth, but only if she were to sign the papers that very day. She agreed and within the hour his lawyers delivered the paperwork. A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving companies pack everything to take to their new home........ . And to spite the ex-wife; they even took the curtain rods!!!!!!
