Do i want friends that.....

don't ever gossip about me..

listen to me when i talk..

offers me sweets sometimes..

lends me things..

does not reveal my secrets..

sees the good in me..

never says nasty or mean things to me..

never lies to me..

never makes me envious..

helps me with different tasks when i need it..

praises and encourages me..

comforts me when i am sad..

is steadfast and remains my friend even if he/she finds new friends..

defends me if someone is mean to me..

what do we look for in a friend...

excuses NOT to exercise!

from the book 'Cofessions of a Reformed Dieter'- AJ Rochester

1) Because i can't be bothered

2) i have to watch paint dry

3) the simple activity of thinking burns calories, so, thinking about not exercising is kind of like doing a mental workout and is bound to burn at least a few calories

4) i have to write a list of excuses for not exercising

5) the circus comes in to town next week and i want to save my energy for when i audition for the job as the fat lady

6)Because i love going to McDonald's, ordering my oversized meal and being asked by some skinny twelve year old, 'Are you sure you want fries with that?'

wouldn't it be nice..

patience my friend.. it's called patience..

Never lose they trust in God. Be thou ever hopeful, for the bounties of God never cease to flow upon man. if viewed from one perspective they seem to decrease, but from another they are full and complete. man is under all conditions immersed in a sea of God's blessings. Therefore be thou not helpless under any circumstances, but rather be firm in thy hope.

Abdu'l-Baha
