once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel. All claimed that they were the best;the most important,the most useful,the favorite
green said: "clearly i am the most important. I am the sign of life and of hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Without me, all .b..b. anima ./b.l./b.s would die. Look over the countryside and you will see that i am in the majority."
blue interrupted: "you only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. The sky gives space and peace and serenity. Without my peace, you would all be nothing."
yellow chuckled: "you are all so serious. I bring laughter, gaiety, and warmth into the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are yellow. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile. Without me there would be no fun."
orange started next to blow her trumpet: "i am the color of health and strength. I may be scarce, but i am precious for i serve the needs of human life. I carry the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges, mangoes, and papayas. I don't hang around all the time, but when i fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought to any of you."
red could stand it no longer, he shouted out: "i am the ruler of all of you. I am blood - life's blood! I bring fire into the blood. I am willing to fight for a cause. I am the color of danger and of bravery. Without me, the earth would be as empty as the moon. I am the color of passion and of love, the red rose, the poinsettia and the poppy."
purple rose up to his full height: he was very tall and spoke with great pomp: "i am the color of royalty and power. Kings, chiefs, and bishops have always chosen me, for i am the sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question me! They listen and obey."
finally indigo spoke, much more quietly than all the others, but with just as much determination: "think of me. I am the color of silence. You hardly notice me, but without me you all become superficial. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep water. You need me for balance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace."
so the colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own superiority. Their quarreling became louder and louder. Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening.
Thunder rolled and boomed. Rain started to pour down relentlessly. The colors crouched down in fear, drawing close to one another for comfort. In the midst of the clamor, rain began to speak: "you foolish colors, fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest.
Don't you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another and come to me." doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands.
The rain continued: "from now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of color as a reminder that you can all live in peace. The rainbow is a sign of hope for tomorrow." and so, whenever a good rain washes the world, and a rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember to appreciate one another
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the Air. You name them?
Work
Family
Health
Friends
And Spirit
And you’re keeping all of these in the air.
You will soon understand that Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls- Family, Health, Friends and Spirit Are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, Marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same you must understand that and strive for balance in your life.
How? Don’t Undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are Different that each of us is special. Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is? Best for you. Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your like, for without them, life is meaningless. Don’t let your life slip through our fingers by living in the pastor for the future. By Living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life. Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us each together. Don’t be Afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be Brave. Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to Find. The Quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings. Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also Where You are going. Don’t? Forget that a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel Appreciated. Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a Treasure you can always carry easily. Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can they be retrieved.
If I knew it would be the last time That I'd see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly And pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time That I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss And call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would videotape each action and word, So I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute or two To stop and say, "I love you," Instead of assuming you would KNOW I do
If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well I'm sure you'll have so many more, So I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow To make up for an oversight, And we always get a second chance To make everything right.
There will always be another day To say our "I love you", And certainly there's another chance To say our "Anything I can do's?"
But just in case I might be wrong, And today is all I get, I'd like to say how much I love you And I hope we never forget,
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, Young or old alike, And today may be the last chance You get to hold your loved one tight So if you're waiting for tomorrow, Why not does it today? For if tomorrow never comes, You’ll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time For a smile, a hug, or a kiss And you were too busy to grant someone, What turned out to be their one last wish?
So hold your loved ones close today, And whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them And that you'll always hold them dear
Take time to say, "I'm sorry," "Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "its okay". And if tomorrow never comes, You’ll have no regrets about today.
Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 and noticed That the new program began unexpected child processing that took Up a lot of space and valuable resources. No mention of this Phenomenon was included in the product brochure. In addition, Wife 1.0 installs itself into all other programs and Launches during system initialization, where it monitors all other System activity.Applications such as Pokernight 10.3, Drunken Boys Night 2.5 and Saturday Football 5.0 no longer run, crashing the System Whenever selected. I cannot seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the Background while attempting to run some of my other favorite Applications.
I am thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0, but the un-install does not work on this program.
Can you help me, please!!! Thanks, Joe
Dear Joe:
This is a very common problem men complain about but is mostly due to a primary misconception. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 with the Idea that Wife 1.0 is merely a UTILITIES & ENTERTAINMENT program.Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and designed by its creator to run Everything.
It is unlikely you would be able to purge Wife 1.0 and still Convert Back to Girlfriend 7.0. Hidden operating files within your system Would cause Girlfriend 7.0 to emulate Wife 1.0 so nothing is gained.It is impossible to un-install, delete, or purge the program files From the system once installed. You cannot go back to Girlfriend7.0 Because Wife 1.0 is not designed to do this. Some have tried to Install Girlfriend 8.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems than the Original system.
Look in your manual under "Warnings Alimony Child Support".
I recommend you keep Wife 1.0 and just deal with the situation.Having Wife 1.0 installed myself, I might also suggest you read the Entire section Regarding General Partnership Faults (GPFs). You Must Assume allresponsibility for faults and problems that might occur,Regardless of their cause. The bestCourse of action will be to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE.In any case avoid excessive use of the Esc key because Ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the Operating system will return to normal. The system will run smoothly as long as you take the blame for all the GPFs.Wife 1.0 is a great program, but very high maintenance. Consider buying Additional Software to improve the performance of Wife 1.0. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Chocolates 5.0.Do not, under any circumstances, install Secretary With Short Skirt 3.3.This is not a supported application for Wife 1.0 and is likely to Cause irreversible damage to the operating system.
