Diary of a Young Wife

Girls,
This is so damn funny.
Take time to read it, ok? Enjoy.

Monday:
Now home from honeymoon and settled in our new home. It's fun to cook for Tim. Today I made an angel food cake and the recipe said, "beat 12 eggs separately." Well, I didn't have enough bowls to do that, so I had to borrow 12 bowls to beat the eggs in. The cake turned out fine though.

Tuesday: We wanted a fruit salad for supper. The recipe said, "serve without dressing." So I didn't dress. But Tim happened to bring a friend home for supper that night. They both looked so startled when I served them, I think it was the salad.

Wednesday: I decided to serve rice and found a recipe which said, " wash thoroughly before steaming the rice." So I heated some water and took a bath before steaming the rice. Sounded kinda silly in the middle of the day. I can't say it improved the rice anyhow.

Thursday: Today Tim asked for salad again. I tried a new recipe. It said, prepare ingredients, then toss on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving." I hunted all over the place for a garden and when I got one, I tossed my salad into the bed of lettuce and stood over there for over one hour so the dog would not take it. Tim came over and asked if I felt all right. I wonder why? He must be stressed at work, I'll try to be supportive.

Friday: Today I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said, "put all ingredients in a bowl and beat it." Beat it I did,to my mum's place. There must have been something wrong with the recipe, because when I came back home again, it looked the same as when I left it.

Saturday: Tim went shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday. I'm sure I don't know how hens dress for Sunday. I never noticed back on the farm, but I found an old doll dress and it's little cute shoes. I thought the hen looked really cute. When Tim saw it, he started counting to ten. Either he was really stressed because of his work,or he wanted the chicken to dance. When I asked him what was wrong he started crying and shouting out "why me? why me ?" Hmmm....It must be his job.

True Friendship

Life Story

What would you do? You make the choice! Don't look for a punch line; There>isn't one!
Read it anyway. My question to all of you is: Would you have made the same choice?
At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learning disabled children, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question: "When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does is done with perfection. Yet my>son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do. Where is the natural order of things in my son?"
The audience was stilled by the query.
The father continued. "I believe, that when a child like Shay, physically and mentally handicapped comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes, in the way other people treat that child. "
Then he told the following story: Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, "Do you think they'll let me play?" Shay's father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps. Shay's father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much. The boy looked around for guidance and said, "We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning." Shay struggled over to the team's bench put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his Father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart. The boys saw the father's joy at his son being accepted. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as his father waved to him from the stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible 'cause Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball. However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing the other team putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least be able to make contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher. The game would now be over, but the pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game. Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, out of reach of all team mates. Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, "Shay, run to first! Run to first!" Never in his life had Shay ever ran that far but made it to first base. He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled. Everyone yelled, "Run to second, run to second!" Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to second base. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time. He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head. Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home. All were screaming, "Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay" Shay reached third base, the opposing shortstop ran to help him and turned him in the direction of third base, and shouted, "Run to third! Shay, run to third" As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams and those watching were on their feet were screaming, "Shay, run home! Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the "grand slam" and won the game for his team.
That day, said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world. Shay didn't make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his Father so happy and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!

A wise man once said every society is judged by how it treats it's least fortunate amongst them.

May your day, be a Shay Day, sunny today tomorrow &always!

dont wait for tmr

A friend of mine opened his wife's underwear drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package: "This, - he said - isn't any ordinary package."
He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box.
"She got this the first time we went to New York , 8 or 9 years ago. She has never put it on , was saving it for a special occasion. Well, I guess this is it. He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other clothings he was taking to the funeral house, his wife had just died. He turned to me and said: "Never save something for a special occasion. Every day in your life is a special occasion".
I still think those words changed my life. Now I read more and clean less.
I sit on the porch without worrying about anything.
I spend more time with my family, and less at work.
I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to, not survived through.
I no longer keep anything.
I use crystal glasses every day..
I'll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, if i feel like it.
I don't save my special perfume for special occasions, I use it whenever I want to.
The words "Someday..." and "One Day..." are fading away from my dictionary.
If it's worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen or do it now. I don't know what my friend's wife would have done if she knew she wouldn't be there the next morning, this nobody can tell.
I think she might have called her relatives and closest friends. She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels.
I'd like to think she would go out for Chinese, her favorite food.
It's these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew my time had come.
I would regret it, because I would no longer see the friends I would meet, letters... that I wanted to write "One of these days".
I would regret and feel sad, because I didn't say to my brother and sisters, son and daughters, not times enough at least, how much I love them.
Now, I try not to delay, postpone or keep anything that could bring laughter and joy into our lives..
And, on each morning, I say to myself that this could be a special day..
Each day, each hour, each minute, is special.

someone cares for you and because, probably, there's someone you care about.
If you're too busy to read this and you say to yourself that you will read it "One of these days ", remember that "One day" is far away... or might never come...
No matter if you're superstitious or not, spend some time reading it. It holds useful messages for the soul.

A wonderful story...

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrivedonly half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.
After 2 years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house." The old woman smiled, "Did you notice that there are flowerson by your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?" "That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flowerseeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them." "For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are,there would not be this beauty to grace the house."
Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting andrewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.
SO, to all of my crackpot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path!

Love Test

愛情自私指數　
有人說每個小孩，都曾是藝術的精靈，如果讓現在的你，能選擇從事藝術工作，你的選擇會是
1.畫家　2.攝影家　3.雕刻家　4.作家

※詳細分析：

1.選擇「畫家」的人：　　你是個很自我中心的人，想作就作，想笑就笑，向來你就只為自己而活，不想遵守社會訂立的僵化規範。愛人想要改變你是不可能的任務。因為你向來我行我素，另一方面也可以說是自私。獨斷獨行的作風，讓對方真的粉辛苦。所以和你談戀愛的人，的確是有點累。自私指數90％。

2.選擇「攝影家」的人：　　你喜歡愛情中的互動感，只要你愛的人也給你快樂，你就會回報。你在乎對方，卻也給予尊重，總是喜歡默默觀察對方的需求，例如愛人的喜好，再用特別的方式，在特別的時刻，給對方驚喜，讓愛人覺得粉貼心。自私指數15％。

3.選擇「雕刻家」的人：　　在愛情中，你是個認真的人，總是採取主動，不甘於愛情命運被人操縱，你用雙手去捏塑你想像中的愛情形態。愛人要能配合你的想像，如果可以，兩人就相安無事，你也會是個好愛人；如果有所差距，你那不能掌握一切的不安感，就會發作。自私指數75％。

4.選擇「作家」的人：　　在愛情戰場上，你最在乎的不是對方外貌，也不是金錢，你最在乎是有沒有得到對方的真感情。你討厭自私的人，所以你推己及人，在愛情中，你是會為對方著想的人，只是技巧上多注意會更好，因為強迫對方接受你自以為是的好意，從另一個角度來說，不也是一種自私嗎？自私指數40％


你會不會突然說"我愛你"　
在路上突然被工讀生堵住，要你填一份怪怪的問卷，你有點懷疑資料最後的流向，所以不願太認真填寫，下列哪一個項目，你會選擇謊報？A姓名　　B電話　　C年齡　　D婚姻狀

※詳細分析：

●選擇A的人：　　要你愛上別人是需要時間的，你認為要給對方清楚的交代。假如隨口說說，不僅會讓對方受傷，你也必須要承擔這個責任。　　你寧可和對方表明「喜歡」的感覺，也讓對方知道「喜歡」是怎樣的交往程度，給彼此寬闊的空間，慢慢培養感情。　　進可攻，退可守，到時候說再見，也不會太傷感。假如能繼續發展，也算是水到渠成的美事。

●選擇B的人：　　一開始，你只會在心中肯定你是喜歡對方的，但是不會輕易對別人說「我愛你 」這三個字，因為那對你而言是很重要的一件事，必須要考慮清楚，才可以許下承諾。　　你很看重自己的感情，在投入前，總會陷入長考，思索你和對方的適合度，等到你確定那真的是你想共度一生的伴侶時，你的心就會放在對方身上，毫不動搖。

●選擇C的人：　　當你開始喜歡對方的時候，會認為那就是愛。　　你實在是純情得不得了，希望把自己的所有，都奉獻給愛人，身邊的人很容易可以察覺你又陷入狂戀狀態。　　當你的愛人實在很幸運，你不會隱藏自己的感覺，勇於表達意，對方知道你的愛是不會輕易改變的，所以很有安全感。

●選擇D的人：　　你對於「喜歡」和「愛」的定義完全搞不清楚，或者明白點說，是根本不在意。　　只要對方愛聽什麼，你就說什麼，對你而言，沒有界定的必要。你不怕說「愛」這個字，那絕對不會為你帶來任何負擔，因為你想走就走，不認為需要為自己說過的話負責任。舊情人如同翻過的書頁，展開戀愛的新頁後，對於過往你便不復記憶了。


心到底嚮往什麼？　
繽紛燦爛的煙火，總令人目眩神迷，和三五好友相約看煙火時，你喜歡以哪種方式一塊欣賞？　　Ａ.在現場感受煙火的震撼　　Ｂ.找個較遠的視野眺望全景　　Ｃ.在可看到煙火的地方，邊烤肉邊觀看　　Ｄ.看電視轉播　　別急~別急~先做完測驗再看答案喔！

※詳細分析：

●選擇Ａ的人：　　你是個容易和許多人打成一片的人，只要有聚會或者團體活動，你通常都會出席，不過這絕大部分是因為這個聚會或團體的活動中，有一、二位你的死黨的緣故，而真正會了解你、能了解你心事的人，也只有這一、二位知心好友而已，所以你是屬於那種會將親疏遠近分得相當清楚的人。

●選擇Ｂ的人：　　你蠻排斥太過於熱鬧的場合，所以當有心事時你寧可自己擱在心裡面，等過了一陣子後，如果週遭的朋友也和你一樣碰到相同的狀況時，你才可能會心有戚戚焉地說出自己的陳年心事，因此你是屬於那種被動型掏心的人。

●選擇Ｃ的人：　　朋友不少的你，很自然會將他們做不同的分類，選擇性的吐露心事，有些事情你會對這堆朋友講，而有些事情你就只會對另一些朋友傾訴。基本上來說你算是蠻坦率大方的，也藏不住太多心事，不過就是要小心，要選擇性的相信該信任的人喔！

●選擇Ｄ的人：　　你挺懶得從事太多的社交活動，當然若自己有心事時，除了以情緒來表達之外，恐怕也懶得開口說出，因為你認為很多事情是多說無益的，頂多有時候憋不住時，才會對家人開口說說，或者是有朋友積極詢問時才會說，但這並不表示你沒有對人傾吐的需求，只是太強忍了

Let love shower unto us for all the time
