Girls In My Circle

When I was little,
I used to believe in the concept of one best friend,
And then I started to become a woman.
And then I found out that if you allow your heart to open up,
God would show you the best in many friends.
One friend is needed when you're going through things with your man.
Another friend is needed when you're going through things with your Mum.
Another will sit beside you in the bleachers as you delight in your children and their activities.
Another when you want to shop, share, heal, hurt, joke, or just be..
One friend will say, 'Let's cry together,'
Another , 'Let's fight together,'
Another , 'Let's walk away together.'
One friend will meet your spiritual need,
Another your shoe fetish,
Another your love for movies,
Another will be with you in your season of confusion,
Another will be your clarifier,
Another the wind beneath your wings.
But whatever their assignment in your life,
On whatever the occasion,
On whatever the day,
Or wherever you need them to meet you with their gym shoes on and hair pulled back,
Or to hold you back from making a complete fool of yourself .
Those are your best friends.
It may all be wrapped up in one woman, But for many, it's wrapped up in several..
One from 5th grade,
One from high school,
Several from the University years,
A couple from old jobs,
On some days your mother,
On some days your neighbour,
On others, your sisters,
And on some days, your daughters.

If it's nothing why does it hurt?

You and your museum of lovers... The precious collection you've housed in your covers... Wanted and adored by attractive women... Bountiful selection at your discretion... I know I'm diving into my own destruction. My pregnant mind is fat full with envy again... But I still want to wash in your old bathwater!

Honda Vows

Our Father
Who Doesn't Recognize Any Other Engine
VTEC Be Thy Name
Thy Kingdom Come
VTEC Will Kick In
In Jamaica As It Does In Japan
Give Us This Day, Our Daily Kills
Whether It Be Toyota or Nissan
Forgive Those Who Repent Against The VTEC
And Deliver Us From Any Other Car
That Doesn't Wear The H Symbol
Amen

Cherish

"Cherish your visions. Cherish your ideals. Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all heavenly environment, of these, if you but remain true to them your world will at last be built."
--James Allen, As A Man Thinketh

Thoughts For Today

1. Birds of a feather flock together and crap on your car.
2. There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it. For example I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.
3. When I'm feeling down, I like to whistle. It makes the neighbor's dog run to the end of his chain and gag himself.
4. If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
5. Don't assume malice for what stupidity can explain.
6. A penny saved is a government oversight.
7. The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
8. The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat are really good friends.
9. The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.
10. He who hesitates is probably right.
11. If you think there is good in everybody, you haven't met everybody.
12. If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.
13. The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble.

The Wonders of the Mysterious

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is themysterious. It is the source of all true art and allscience. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, whocan no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe,is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
--Albert Einstein

Growing Up

"By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right,he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong."
-- Anonymous
