a quote down below by someone on a meditation group I belong too...:flowerforyou: Beautifully written and oh so very true such a special group of folks we meet online that become sometimes as close as offline friends, some even closer!:flowerforyou: :smooched:
So thankful for each and everyone of you here on MFP and all my experiences whether they be good or some of learning experiences where I've learned to treat ppl with more kindness. So much in the world can be viewed as negative I am working on turning it around for myself and seeing the good in ppl (because there is SO much GOOD in each of us!!) as I know I myself am far from perfect!
:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: So striving to be a kinder person is my goal in life, to be encouraging, and a cheerleader to all:flowerforyou:
To all of us here on MFP ...here's to you my Friends, ones I know well, ones I'm getting to know, ones my heart has not been the kindest too:noway: (and for that I'm so very sorry you didn't get to see the better side of me!:flowerforyou: ) but I am learning that we are all here for a common purpose... to encourage and cheer one another on, to listen to heartache, tears of joy, laughter and so much more!:drinker: :bigsmile:
You all are simply the BEST!!

OK! NOW here's the quote I spoke of above:
*****************************************************************************************************
"There's a land where I go when I need to share, or chin-wag with someone who really understands and cares. There is no cyber map. Cyber friends exist everywhere around the world. Some have names without faces, others we’ve had the privilege to meet in person.
Cyber space, A modern technical world filled with worm’s holes viruses spam and sadly cyber bullies. There are all kinds of people with cute little names, like Snoopy, Goofy, Fruitloop and Wing-nut - some cyber friends are so funny, some are mellow but throughout the good and bad days, cyber friends all play a powerful emotional role. each friend is unique; We talk, laugh, cry and wonder why we live so far apart? Wishing we could have coffee everyday!
Cyber world for the most part a safe place, we’re not judged and can't be seen, yet, there it is, right on our Instant messenger screen; we’re chin-waging but the most curious part is the power cyber friends have to open our hearts to inspire and share with a stranger those things we've concealed, to our closest of friends we'd never reveal Our deepest regrets and most troubling fears, The scars in our life which bring us to tears, The joy of our children and grandkids; what gives cyber friends the power to reach out to us.
How do cyber friends, manage to open our hearts and eyes and make us confess the secrets of the past? We don't understand this magical cyber world spell, although sadly we know without it some of our amazing cyber friends some days would be pure hell without cyber chin-wags and hugs.
Cyber Friends, must have been planned by God from up above, Cause there's no place on earth where you'll find so much inspiration wisdom compassion understanding and love for just being yourself. Beyond our heavenly prayers, when we need a cyber hug or instant advice, we know we can find our amazing Cyber friends waiting online for chin-wags."

From my recently purchased motivational calendar, I present to you FEBRUARY 2009:
Fall in love or fall in hate.
Get inspired or be depressed.
Ace a test or flunk a class.
Make babies or make art.
Speak the truth or lie and cheat.
Dance on tables or sit in the corner.
Life is divine chaos. Embrace it.
Forgive yourself. Breathe.
And enjoy the ride...

Forgiveness quotes..........:flowerforyou:
To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you.—Unknown
He who cannot forgive breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass.--George Herbert
Resentment is like a glass of poison that a man drinks; then he sits down and waits for his enemy to die.—Unknown
Many people are afraid to forgive because they feel they must remember the wrong or they will not learn from it. The opposite is true. Through forgiveness, the wrong is released from its emotional stranglehold on us so that we can learn from it. Through the power and intelligence of the heart, the release of forgiveness brings expanded intelligence to work with the situation more effectively. -- David McArthur & Bruce McArthur
Forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, and the waste of spirit. --Hannah More
You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well. --Lewis B. Smedes
Never does the human soul appear so strong as when it foregoes revenge, and dares forgive an injury. --E. H. Chapin
There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness.-- Josh Billings OH!! Nice one!
Forgiveness is choosing to love. It is the first skill of self-giving love. --Mahatma Gandhi0 -

Be Yourself
Often we want to be somewhere other than where we are, or even to be someone other than who we are. We tend to compare ourselves constantly with others and wonder why we are not as rich, as intelligent, as simple, as generous, or as saintly as they are. Such comparisons make us feel guilty, ashamed, or jealous. It is very important to realize that our vocation is hidden in where we are and who we are. We are unique human beings, each with a call to realize in life what nobody else can, and to realize it in the concrete context of the here and now.
We will never find our vocations by trying to figure out whether we are better or worse than others. We are good enough to do what we are called to do. Be yourself!

Stepping over Our Wounds
Sometimes we have to "step over" our anger, our jealousy, or our feelings of rejection and move on. The temptation is to get stuck in our negative emotions, poking around in them as if we belong there. Then we become the "offended one," "the forgotten one," or the "discarded one." Yes, we can get attached to these negative identities and even take morbid pleasure in them. It might be good to have a look at these dark feelings and explore where they come from, but there comes a moment to step over them, leave them behind and travel on.

"I just don't understand how someone can completely abandon hope. I woke up everyday for 40 years with hope that something good would happen to me that day. For 40 years, nothing good happened to me. And then one day, something did happen and it made every second of those 40 years worth it."

She changed my life. I wish she could see me now. warm hugs:flowerforyou: 0 -
"We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives.not looking for flaws, but for potential."

WOW..this one is powerful!! As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down
probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt
because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.0 -
He's no failure. He's not dead yet.
