| The Stance |
Apr 14, 2007 2:32 am
1671 Views |  | When you have to visit a public bathroom, you usually find a line of women, so you smile politely and take your place. Once it's your turn, you check for feet under the stall doors. Every stall is occupied. Finally, a door opens and you dash in, nearly knocking down the woman leaving the stall.
You get in to find the door won't latch. It doesn't matter, the wait has been so long you are about to wet your pants! The dispenser for the modern seat covers" (invented by someone's Mom, no doubt) is handy, but empty.
You would hang your purse on the door hook, if there was one, but there isn't - so you carefully, but quickly drape it around your neck, (Mom would turn over in her grave if you put it on the FLOOR!), yank down your pants, and assume "The Stance."
In this position your aging, toneless thigh muscles begin to shake. You'd love to sit down, but you certainly hadn't taken time to wipe the seat or lay toilet paper on it, so you hold "The Stance."
To take your mind off your trembling thighs, you reach for what you discover to be the empty toilet paper dispenser. In your mind, you can hear your mother's voice saying, "Honey, if you had tried to clean the seat, you would have KNOWN there was no toilet paper!" Your thighs shake more.
You remember the tiny tissue that you blew your nose on yesterday the one that's still in your purse. (Oh yeah, the purse around your neck, that now, you have to hold up trying not to strangle yourself at the same time or spill the contents of it).
That would have to do. You crumple it in the puffiest way possible.
It's still smaller than your thumbnail.
Someone pushes your door open because the latch doesn't work. The door hits your purse, which is hanging around your neck in front of your chest, and you and your purse topple backward against the tank of the toilet.
"Occupied!" you scream, as you reach for the door, dropping your precious, tiny, crumpled tissue in a puddle on the floor, lose your footing altogether and slide down directly onto the TOILET SEAT.
It is wet of course. You bolt up, knowing all too well that it's too late.
Your bare bottom has made contact with every imaginable germ and life form on the uncovered seat because YOU never laid down toilet paper - not that there was any, even if you had taken time to try. You know that your mother would be utterly appalled if she knew, because, you're certain her bare bottom never touched a public toilet seat because, frankly, dear, "You just don't KNOW what kind of diseases you could get."
By this time, the automatic sensor on the back of the toilet is so confused that it flushes, propelling a stream of water like a fire hose against the inside of the bowl that sprays a fine mist of water that covers your butt and runs down your legs and into your shoes. The flush somehow sucks everything down with such force that you grab onto the empty toilet paper
dispenser for fear of being dragged in too.
At this point, you give up. You're soaked by the spewing water and the wet toilet seat. You're exhausted. You try to wipe with a gum wrapper you found in your pocket and then slink out inconspicuously to the sinks.
You can't figure out how to operate the faucets with the automatic sensors, so you wipe your hands with spit and a dry paper towel and walk past the line of women still waiting. You are no longer able to smile politely to them. A kind soul at the very end of the line points out a piece of toilet paper trailing from your shoe. (Where was that when you NEEDED it??)
You yank the paper from your shoe, plunk it in the woman's hand and tell her warmly, "Here, you just might need this."
As you exit, you spot your hubby, who has long since entered, used, and left the men's restroom. Annoyed, he asks, "What took you so long, and why is your purse hanging around your neck?"
This is dedicated to women everywhere who deal with public restrooms (rest??? you've GOT to be kidding!!). It finally explains to the men what really does take us so long. It also answers their other commonly asked questions about why women go to the restroom in pairs. It's so the other gal can hold the door, hang onto your purse and hand you Kleenex under the door!

| I Am Only Me |

Mood: earthy, 1746 Views |
I am only me, that is all that I can be
No more, no less, don't second guess
I love, I laugh, I live and cry,
I've wished at times, that I could die
Some days I'm funny, others I'm not,
sometimes I'm in overdrive and can't stop
I am a loyal and honest friend,
You know that I'll be there until the end
I am a father/mother, my children my greatest gift,
The smiles on their faces always give me a lift
I am a romantic, sensual, sexual, and passionate too,
to the love of my life, I'll share this with you
I can be sweet and shy or sassy and bold,
I'm quite a handful, or so I've been told
I am not perfect, I do have my faults,
like when I get scared I put up high walls
Or I'm not as forgiving, as I'd sometimes like to be,
because when I hurt, I hurt deeply
My logic is all my own, at times misunderstood,
because I don't always do things for my own good
I have many facets, like a diamond you see...
I am only me.

| Mantra energises Prana |
Apr 9, 2007 2:02 am
Mood: relaxed, 1470 Views |  |
"Prana" is a Sanskrit term for a form of life energy which can be transferred from individual to individual. Prana may or may not produce an instant dramatic effect upon transfer. There can be heat or coolness as a result of the transfer.
Some healers operate through transfer of prana. A massage therapist can transfer prana with beneficial effect. Even self-healing can be accomplished by concentrating prana in certain organs, the result of which can be a clearing of the difficulty or condition. For instance, by saying a certain mantra while visualizing an internal organ bathed in light, the specific power of the mantra can become concentrated there with great beneficial effect.
Mantras eventually quiet the mind
At a deep level, subconscious mind is a collective consciousness of all the forms of primitive consciousnesses which exist throughout the physical and subtle bodies. The dedicated use of mantra can dig into subconscious crystallized thoughts stored in the organs and glands and transform these bodily parts into repositories of peace.
To a certain extend we can heal ourselves if we keep an open mind and learn to listen to our body
Peace 
Love
and
Harmony |

| Lessons I've Learned |
Apr 9, 2007 12:44 am
Mood: content, 1359 Views |  |
I've learned that every minute you are angry is a minute of happiness you have lost.
I've learned that when people accuse you of something, it's actually their own actions they accuse you of.
I've learned that if God brings you to it, he will bring you through it.
I've learned that if God gives you something to handle, he will give you the strength.
You become what you think about, garbage in and garbage out. Plan your life as if you are going to live forever, but live your life as if you are going to die tomorrow. God didn't build a staircase to nowhere.
You are what you think you are. If you think you are no good at something, you wont be.
The way you treat others is a reflection of yourself.
Loneliness can be temporary or chronic. The choice is yours.
A cure for loneliness. Think of someone else.
People who don't share, think they're winning a game where you end up with a lot.
People who worry about others, worry less about themselves. Those who worry a lot about themselves, don't even think about others, let alone worry about them.
It is better to be alone than to feel lonely when you are with someone.
I've learned that if you are trying on clothes in a fitting room and the mirror is on the outside ...be sure the door is not locked, so you don't get locked out side in something embarrasing. Just a thought.
I've learned that if I wear something one size bigger, I actually look slimmer.
I've learned that even though hindsight might better than foresight, it's not necessarily a good idea to walk backwards.

Call People by Name. The sweetest music to anyone's ears is the sound of his/her own name.
Be Alert to give Service..... What we do for others counts most in life...
If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours!
Learn to understand first and to be understood second.
Don't underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring,
all of which have the potential to turn a life around....
Life ends when you stop Dreaming,
Hope ends when you stop Believing,
Love ends when you stop Caring,
Friendship ends when you stop Sharing...
Every moment, every situation, every issue and every concern has a positive side. Find it and bring it to life....
Be Genuinely Interested in People. If you try, you can like everybody, and
Everybody will like you.....
When you find a Dream inside your heart, Don't ever let it go
For Dreams are the tiny seeds from Which Beautiful Tomorrows Grow
Believe in your Dreams

| My Easter Contribution |
Apr 8, 2007 4:18 am
Mood: experimental, 1415 Views | I've decided to share part of the work I do here with my friends at FF
It is just a tiny part and perhaps a start to a new beginning of a different kind of blogs.
So to all my friends, I hope you learn something about yourself from this little blog
'
Start Being True To Yourself
^ Be a part of life instead of being apart from it.
> Stop saying 'yes' when you mean 'no'
'
^ When you have a choice of being alone or in bad company, choose being alone.
> Avoid people who point out your faults all the time.
'
^ Hit the middle road between self-centredness and self-neglect.
> Accept your lovehandles,grey hair, little height, and everything else about youself. Look for what you do like about yourself. Concentrate on that.
'
^ Always be of who you are instead of what others want you to be.
> You will feel so much more comfortable and confident with yourself.
'
^ Stop going back to the same people for the same rejection.
> You are the master of your happiness. Only you are responsible of how you want to feel.
'
^ Invent new solutions to old problems after wearing out old solutions that don't work out.
> Keep an open mind to life and other peoples views.
'
^ When someone gives you a compliment, take time to hear it before returning the favour.
> The ability to 'listen' is more important than to speak.
'
^ Learn to ask for what you want.
> Others are not mindreader.
'
^ Stop being obsessed with your defects.
> Look at the whole picture and ignore the tendency to compare yourself with others.
We all have our weaknesses!
'
^ Stop being a doormat!
> Live by the adage, "Nobody can walk all over me if I'm not lying down".
'
Feeling a lil' better about yourself?

Mood: grateful, 1442 Views |  | Petal by petal - stem by stem,
Where oh where do I begin?
One is for the Lord above,
Who gives His everlasting love.
Two is for the little things
That all His kindness brings.
Three is for the Trinity,
We give our greatest thanks to Thee.
Four is for the gift of life,
Through the good times and the strife.
Five is for our family so dear,
Both those that are far and near.
Six is for blessings we reap,
Moments close to our hearts we keep.
Seven is for food, fun and friends;
The joy that they bring never ends.
Eight is for a nice warm bed,
Knowing there's a roof safely over my head.
Nine is for every brand new day
And for the moments in which we pray.
Ten is for how I can always depend
On how life's blessings never really end... |

| All It Takes Is Love |

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat.
A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were u the one who changed my sign this morning? What did u write?"
The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what u said but in a different way."
What he had written was: "Today is a beautiful day & I cannot see it."
Do u think the first sign & the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?
Moral of the Story:
Be thankful for what you have.
Be creative.
Be innovative.
Think differently and positively
Invite the people towards good with wisdom. |
