Hello

Waiter Is A Friend by Kostya

I work as a full time waiter to help myself through Uni. and am often confronted with difficult customers. Many customers look down upon me and my co-workers as second class citizens. on several occasions I have been told that I can "have the leftovers." Honestly! So this is just a note to people out there to say respect your waiters when you dine out because they're people too. It doesn't sound like much, but just being polite makes us all feel a lot better and makes us go that little bit further for you.

A Point Of View

Hello

Aging by Petite

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions. "How old are you?" "I'm four and a half!" You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key.

You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead. "How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life... you become 21.

Even the words sound like a ceremony... YOU BECOME 21! YESSSS!! But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there?

Makes you sound like bad milk. He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50... and your dreams are gone.

But wait! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!

So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60. You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!

You get into your 80s and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; "I was JUST 92."

Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half!" May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!

How To Stay Young

Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.

Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever.

Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop."

Enjoy the simple things.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Point Is:- No Matter What Live Well

Hello

What Has The World Come To? by Saturn

Walking down the streets you can see on an average day all sorts of people running around to and fro. Who takes time to smell the flowers... to enjoy the simple things in life... to relax with friends and family any more???

If someone asks you for help do you scoff or turn away? Or do you just not notice, being too busy in your own life? Take the time to get to know your neighbours... make time for your friends... and make time to relax and enjoy yourself from time to time. You will thank yourself for it and your family and friends will thank you for it.

Life is short, happiness lives forever in the minds of loved ones left behind.

Wake up each day and think and say to yourself, "No matter how bad yesterday was, today is a new day! I will live my life to the fullest and find happiness in my life. Today is a new beginning for me. I will no longer live my life around work. I will enjoy my life to the best of my ability today and forever." Love and peace to you all, Saturn
