Special Quote

Quote for today............

while I was meeting someone, but there were two of them....... in a special room...

here is what I remember from Maria Rodrigues (Joke-of-the-Day.com)

I've learned that when "friends" use you, the best thing to do is drop them. They’re not your friends. True friends don’t use friends but help and support and laugh with you.

Have fun, and enjoy the freedom while it lasts!

There Is Only One Sun in The World

There Is Only One Sun In The World

There is only one sun in the world
No other sun is there, and no other sun will be there
Only one sun that shines, and gives its shine to everything
Only that sunrays give light to every life in the world

But, alas… there is a lovely flower shining there
Its radiance makes the butterflies come closer
The sweet kisses of butterflies and ladybugs
The delicate touches of the winds
Gives the flower more vigor to shine
And send out its fascinating smells around
Its beauty is not taken by the storm
The flower is still shining in the dark
Penetrating the hearts of the meadow
Radiantly shining every life around

Oh, but there is only one sun in the world
The flower is shining too, radiantly
Is the flower the sun?
There is only one sun in the world
The flower is shining because of its beauty,
its white petals, its green leaves, and sweet smells
The flower is shining because of its warm life
with the butterflies, ladybugs, winds, and the sun
The flower is shining because of its virtue
The shining flower makes two suns in the world?
Or millions suns in the world?
But there is only one sun in the world
The flower smiles wavily and sends out its penetrating,
wholeheartedly, yet unintentionally shines.
Glittering away.

An Event

An event has taken place today in my life........... that sets me free. Thank God. The following is a song sang by Diana Ross some years ago. It's an old song, it has happened to fill my day when the event took place. Ah........... it's so beautiful.

I will survive

At first I was afraid.
I was petrified.
I kept thinking I could never live
Without you by my side.
But then I spent so many nights
Just thinking how youd done me wrong.
I grew strong.
I learned how to get along.

And so youre back from outer space.
I just walked in to find you here
Without that look upon your face.
I should have changed my fucking lock.
I would have made you leave your key
If Id have known for just one second
Youd be back to bother me.

Oh now go.
Walk out the door.
Just turn around now.
Youre not welcome anymore.
Werent you the one
Who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think Id crumble?
Did you think Id lay down and die?
Oh not i.

I will survive.
As long as I know how to love
I know Ill be alive.
Ive got all my life to live.
Ive got all my love to give.
I will survive.
I will survive.

It took all the strength I had
Just not to fall apart.
Im trying hard to mend
The pieces of my broken heart.
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself.
I used to cry.
But now I hold my head up high.

And youll see me with somebody new.
Im not that stupid little person
Still in love with you.
And so you thought youd just drop by,
And you expect me to be free.
But now Im saving all my lovin
For someone whos lovin me.

Oh now go.
Walk out the door.
Just turn around now.
Youre not welcome anymore.
Werent you the one
Who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think Id crumble?
Did you think Id lay down and die?
Oh not i.

I will survive.
As long as I know how to love
I know Ill be alive.
Ive got all my life to live.
Ive got all my love to give.
I will survive.
I will survive.

I may not have all the things in the world, the best nor the worst, but at this moment, I am free to touch my untouchable stars. How wonderfull............!
