Satisfying our hearts desire connects us by example to love, beauty, pleasure, and happiness in those around us and gives us confidence to take it to the next level. "We can all make it." Unconditional love makes a family and home is where the heart is, so we are never alone.We should be empowered by gratitude and our gifts are emotional fulfillment & abundance in life.

WHAT A TRUE FRIEND IS

True Friend Is Rare To Find

Ok, this blog took a lot of time and effort, thanks to all of you who helped with your input and thoughts:
Kayla, Kristin, Shannon, Gorilla, Sherri, Jay, Trey and Lover Lovingston.
What makes a good friend to me??
This was a hard question for me to answer and I want to pose this question to all of you at the end here....
In my eyes a real friend is tried and true. They are there when you need someone to talk to and they understand your feelings or at the very least act understanding even when they don't understand fully. They sympathize with you and they always take your feelings into consideration. They understand that things in your life need to be accomplished as well as they would take care of their own things. They don't get angry or mad if you have something important that needs to be done before all else. They will not talk about you in public and they will always have your back.
A good friend will offer you advice and stand by your side even if they do not agree with the decisions you may make. A good friend will offer encouragement and offer prayers or good thoughts/words to help you through a situation.
A good friend will call you when they know you are having a bad day to make sure you are ok, to do the best they can to offer a shoulder or an ear. A good friend will not only think of themselves, but always take care of themselves...you can't be a good friend to someone, that offers good advice, if you aren't all together yourself...
A good friend will laugh at you AND with you, they will tell you when you mess up or they may keep their thoughts to themselves, but either way, they'll love you regardless of your failures or decisions. They'll question your thoughts, beliefs or feelings, to make sure you think from all angles, not just to be an ass. They may say something you don't like to hear or don't want to hear, but they do it in YOUR best interests.
A true friend will never be offended by another friend’s advice or questions…maybe if there was an offense taken it was only because it was the truth and it made them mad to hear it said aloud, maybe it only reconfirmed their fears. True friends don’t say those things out of spite, but out of looking after the ones they care about and protecting the ones they love.
Real friends don’t publicly fault their friends. They are grown up and can act mature enough to handle things like an adult. A real friend doesn’t stab you in the back when you are only trying to be helpful. A real friend won’t ignore you over something trivial and insignificant.
A real friend will understand your need to take care of the things in your life above all else. If they are a real friend they won’t fault you for taking a few minutes to get something important taken care of. They will understand and still be there once you have taken care of necessary business.
A real friend will sense when there is something wrong in your attitude or personality, they will call you up to see if you are ok, they will send you a message saying that “I’ll be there for you, when you want to talk.”
A real friend will not do something to help you out, then turn around and use it against you. Especially when the action that supposedly helped you was not one that you had even asked them for.
They let you have space, but don’t let you go too far from their sight. They keep you in mind and always have your best interests at heart. They understand that your family will always come before them and are not selfish in their desire to take up all of your time and energy. They appreciate the efforts you make at friendship, even if you are not able to lend out hours of your time at the time they need you.
There are exceptions to this of course. If a friend is in a car wreck or tragically ill and on their deathbed, then yes, a real friend will put their life on hold to help the other one make it through and cope. They will drop it all and give everything they have towards making the friend's situation more comfortable or tolerable. However, if it is the same situation over and over again, for example an asshole significant other or a drug problem, then the friend in need should understand that the things in your life will take importance over their matters at hand. It doesn’t mean you don’t care, it just means you have to take care of something, you WILL get back to their problems as soon as you can, but experiencing the same problem over and over because you don’t want to change things only means one thing…insanity.

The Letter To The One
It's been so long since I've heard your voice. It was reckless of me letting you slip away from me. I want you to know what has happened all this time, but as of right now im so terrified to hear from you again mainly cause i dont know what your gonna say since i've been gone for so long. Its not easy without you here. Im tired of searching for love in this cold heartless world.Im tired of pretending that im ok when im not.If only people could understand what you truely mean to me.If only they can see that there is no other like you in this world.If only you knew how much you changed my life.
I promise i'll hold your heart forever.
Ohne dich kann ich nicht leben.Ich liebe dich.

"Color of Friendship"

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 animals 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 am the color of danger and of bravery. I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire into the blood. 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."
And 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.

The real friend is the one who gives you pepper, not butter.
Dear, 'friendship' is just a simple word, but not simple to make. When I try to make this with a stranger, I can't resist, I feel... as if distraction of mind is roving behind my eyes. I think, why I'm doing this- may be, I am so much in confusion; what you decide that noway depends on me, but, it is true that I have to change my views on a way to feel.
I am an authentic gentleman. I can never pretend to be something else. What I am going to tell you, you may be surprised, but I don't have any option without telling you the truth. Before making friendship why don't you face the reality?
It doesn't seem incredible, if there are few matters in this life about which it is safe to dogmatize or lay down the law. And there are, as we all know, practically no rules without exceptions. But if one safeguards the statement by this proviso, it can be laid down as a rule of life that real friendship between man and woman is impossible.
Now this statement is not derogatory either to man or to woman. It is simply a fact based upon the laws of Nature. It is inevitable. What friendship contains, we know better. And that is where the trouble comes in.A girl who is keen on sport, for instance, finds a man who shares her tastes. They are thrown together by their common interests, and they become friends. She is the kind of girl, perhaps, whom men call a 'ratting good sort'.
There is 'no nonsense about her', they say.
And by that they mean a very high compliment. They mean she is not the sort of girl who wants to flirt with every man she meets; that she is the kind of girl to whom a man can talk without her imagining that he is in love with her; and that she is a girl who can talk intelligently about the things that interest men.
There is a great virtue, from a man's point of view, in being able to talk about things, and not people. There are hundreds of women who have no interest in a conversation unless it is personal.Well, this 'jolly good sort' and the man whom we will also suppose is a 'good sort' become friends. They play games together and see as much of each other as they can. What happens? Well, first of all, even if they have no idea of love-making themselves, the idea is soon put into their heads by the remarks of other people. "Oh, they are always together," says one. "Are they engaged?" says another. "If they are not they ought to be," says a third. You know the kind of thing.
At any rate, the man soon realizes that by his friendship he is compromising the girl, and only two courses are open to him- either to propose to her or gradually to cool off and drift away. Perhaps, in a rare instance, both part unscathed.
But how often does this happen? In 99 cases out of 100 either the man or the woman suffers. He cares and she doesn't, or vice versa. And when, as we see is more frequently the case, it is the woman who comes to care as a result of this platonic friendship, she has to suffer in silence.We believe there are exceptions to every rule, as these have been seen in numerous history and biography records of noble men and women who have a genius for friendship. We don't always know both sides of the story. But cases there are, no doubt.
It must be admitted that a man can feel this platonoc friendship very often for a plain or unattractive woman who has no physical charm for him or makes no appeal to his senses. If a man sees a pretty woman often and he becomes at all attached to her, it is natural that he should wish to take her in his arms and kiss her. If he has no such inclination he is something more or less than man.
When can one be sure of a platonic friendship? The answer is, Never. When these friendships do go on, apparently successfully, for long years, it is often because each sex is trying to be both sexes at once. The result is a confusion more untruthful than any convention. It is built upon pretence.Enfin!
But things sometimes change more than we think. Few days ago one of my friends, a beautiful lady, wrote me a nice letter, I want to share with you.
"Friendship is a special gift given to us all. The smile of a friend is sunlight on a cloudy day, and every smile given to a friend is returned. A friend is one whom you can talk to, and listen to, without judging.
A friend doesn't ignore your faults but accepts them as part of you. A friend is a shoulder to lean on when you need support, A pat on the back when you do well, and a sympathetic ear when you fail. A friend is a person you can laugh with about everything, you can cry with without shame, and whom you trust completely. A friend is a partner in life and a part of you always and forever..."At last, I want to tell you one thing. I very much dislike the word- 'flirtation'. However, a self-introduction to a lady can only be classified as a flirtation when it is characterised by undignified manner, by a lack of gentlemanliness. You will agree with me instantly that there was nothing ungentlemanly in my approach.
In fact, in the accepted sense of the word, there was really no 'approach'.

"True Meaning Of Friendship"
A friend in need, is a friend indeed' is a popular saying, implying that people become friends when they need something from you. Whilst this can indeed be true, the reverse is also significant. When you are in need, then you find out who are your real friends.
An acquaintance found out recently that she has a chronic medical condition. Nothing visible and nothing to stop her living a normal life, but something that will occasionally flare up and cause discomfort. She also found out something of the difference between real and fairweather friends.
She informed them simply because she is an open and honest person. There was no seeking of particular help. Perhaps a little sympathy, but no special treatment or additional attention.
When she told some friends, they responded with concern. They listened without asking anything in return. They asked how they could help. These were real friends.
Others, who she also believed to be friends of the same sort, responded first with selfish concerns. They asked if it was infectious in any way or that might somehow catch it. Then they melted away, despite reassurance of their safety.
Fairweather friends are those who are most likely to appear when they are in need or, at best, when you are not in need. Real friends don't care about your need. They will help where they can and know that it's ok if they can only offer a little sympathy.
This must be something like what it is to have cancer, HIV or AIDS. Those who were friends when all was well suddenly show their true colors, whilst some from the core and some from the periphery fly the true flag of friendship, offering and giving what help they can.

The True Essence Of Friendship
" GENERAL TRAITS OF A FRIENDSHIP "

Perhaps the one relation that has survived the trials and tribulations of time and has still remained unconditional is friendship.
A unique blend of affection, loyalty, love, respect, trust and loads of fun is perhaps what describes the true meaning of friendship between two individuals.
Similar interests, mutual respect and strong attachment with each other are what friends share between each other. These are just the general traits of a friendship.
To experience what is friendship, one must have true friends, who are indeed rare treasure.

"The Colors Of Friendship"
If I could catch a rainbow, I would do it, just for you,And, share with you, its beauty, on the days you're feeling blue.

If I could, I would build a mountain, you could call your very own.A place to find serenity, a place just to be alone.If I could, I would take your troubles, and toss them into the sea.
But, all these things, I'm finding, are impossible for me.I cannot build a mountain, or catch a rainbow fair;but, let me be, what I know best,A Friend, who's always there.
I promise to defend you, should the occasion ever rise,And, I promise to wipe away the tears,which might stream from your weeping eyes.
Let me be the trusted Friend, the one that you know best.I will never leave you, on that, you can surely rest.

Category: Love Poems
Here I am, breathing...........
Here I am, living but somehow i feel i don't exist.
Living a day without you by my side is....so lifeless.
Spending an hour without knowing that
you are here is so senseless.
Everyday without you is like living
in a world of emptiness.
Even i tried so hard ,
to let you know that here i am.
Loving you with all my heart,
it seems you would'nt see.
To the extent i make fool out of myself
just to let you feel how special you are to me.
I don't care what other people would say or think of me....
Just hoping that somehow you could notice me,
appreciate me...
Here i am , that i exist.

Category: Love Poems
You know that i love you...
You had let me feel that you felt the same for me.
We shared happy moments that i would cherish forever.
Why sudden changed....what had happened.......?
Had you lost interest on me?
had you fallen out of love?
Had you found someone else?
What have i done,why sudden changed?
When i ask you?
All you would say is everything is fine!
I'm trying to believe you
but my heart tells me that
there is something wrong,
just pretending that all is alright.
But deep inside you are tearing me apart.
I felt i was dying every minute
not knowing your true feelings for me,
scared that one morning you are gone.
Never going back!!!!!!!

"True Intentions"
Hi!!!i was very lucky to find someone like you bec.we almost think the same.When we first met,remember i told you that i think you would be any girl's dream but i think you are not the one i want to be w/...........my reason is...ok,you looked good,have a nice car ,have a nice job............but first i think you are a womanizer.....so how could i be happy?w/ the material things alone?i'm not that type of person,i'll much be happier if my husband will just love me,respect & trust me....i think that will bring me true hapiness,material things must be just secondary.You said you want an honest person i think we are looking for the same trait......first i just want to be your friend but as we know each other i had seen something special in you.The traits that i've been looking for in a guy.......you are so refined.......your sweetness..........physically i'm attracted to you...................Then i start to like you in all aspects.....that is why i asked your true intentions,maybe i'm just misunderstanding your kindness.....to have false pretenses.........i want to know what are you up to,bec. if you will just want me for companion then dropped me after you're through,i think i don't deserve you even if you would be the richest man on earth,bec. i think i deserve better i could give more than money could buy.We will just lived once why not make the best of it!!It is how you look at it.Life is not just money....i'm not telling that this is not important.All people need it.......me i want to have a comfortable life.....all people wanted that.But some can be so greedy in expense of their happiness at the end not knowing they are left empty.In my age i already experienced all the hatred,sorrow & emptiness.........thati s what have made me a stronger person.....................my principles is still intact even a lot has changed still looking to have better future.That is what i'm going to strive for to have a happy family..........be a good wife i'll be there emotionally,spiritually,physically for my husband & we will be helping each other to give a better future for our kids.
THAT IS ALL I WANTED!!!not longing only for my own hapiness but i want
my love ones.........to be part of that fullfiling life,i can't do that alone
i'll be needing your help.If we face the trials together i'm sure will survive.

"Is It Possible To Platonic Friendship?"

Platonic means a “platonic” love or a “platonic” relationship is one in which people have mental or spiritual exchanges only and refrain from physical intimacy
Platonic friendship is possible but in such level with limitationsl, having close connection with same sex will develope attraction in the process.In any other way one party will have a desire for the opposite sex or both parties can developed feelings & intimacy.
Platonic friendship is just advisable for individuals who are not in a committed relationship.Having friends with the opposite sex while you are in a committed relationship can trigger betrayal that could possible lead to an illicit affair.
In a relationship it is natural that we encounter problems that most of the time we tend to confide with someone that could understand us & who can lend us an ear .But never seek the companion of the opposite sex when you are having problems in your relationship because this are the times that we are very vulnerable & can easily fall for the person that was presently available that time.
So, I think there are some exemptions to be made if you are in a relatioship better set your guard up than allow yourself to commit something that you would regret later.Itis better to avoid than to be involve in an illicit affair.
If you are in a committed relationship always consider what would your partner feel of you having a close relationship with an opposite sex.It is not right to be close with someone who belongs to the opposite sex if you are in a relationship bec. even your partner trust you it doesn't mean you should abuse it.If we want to have a lasting relationship we should respect the person we chose to be our partner.Respect is something that is not ask for it is something we should voluntarily give if we commit ourselves.

"About Friendship"

You showered your friendship, in to my heart,
You gave me the meaning, which I never had,
I never thought, that this friendship will,
Your heart is just, as crystal clear,
You only bring, smiles on my face,
You have changed, my life again,
I wish to HIM, this should never end,
I thanks to HIM, that I found you,
Sometimes it's HI !!!, and sometimes HEY …..,
I started with you, and ending with friends,
Words fall short, for the friends of mine,

"Be Friendly No Matter What Race or Ethnicity,Friendships Has No Bounderies"
Its great to be able to meet people from all over the world. I love making new friends and learning more about their cultures and beliefs. I feel that if more people talked to each other throughout the the world we would be able to understand more and have better feelings towards our fellow countries. We all may have our differences but we are all human and live under the same sky and breathe the same air. And we all have the same maker. And I know we have different beliefs in who that is. But I really hope to make many new friends. Peace and Love to all and God Bless You Always.

"Girlfriends,through tough & crazy times!"
A young wife sat on a porch in Waycross, Georgia on a summer day, drinking iced tea and visiting with her mother. As they talked about life, about marriage, about the responsibilities and the obligations of adulthood, the mother clinked the ice cubes in her glass thoughtfully and turned a clear, sober glance upon her daughter."Don't forget your girlfriends," she advised, swirling the tea leaves to the bottom of her glass. "They'll be more important as you get older. No matter how much you love your husband, no matter how much you'll love the children you'll have, you are still going to need girlfriends. Remember to go places with them now and then; Do things with them. And remember that girlfriends" are not only your friends, but your sisters, your daughters,and other relatives too. You'll need other women. Women always do.
What a funny piece of advice.' the young women thought. 'Haven't I just gotten married? Haven't I just joined the 'couple' world? I'm a married woman, for goodness sake... A grown up... Not a young girl who needs girlfriends! Surely my husband and the family we'll start, will be all I need to make my life worthwhile!
But she listened to her mother. She kept in contact with her girlfriends and made more each year. As the years tumbled by, one after another, she gradually came to understand that her mom really knew what she was talking about. As time and nature work their changes and their mysteries upon a woman, girlfriends are the mainstay of her life.
After 50 years of living in this world, here is what I know about girlfriend

Girlfriends bring you casseroles and scrub your bathroom when you need help. Girlfriends keep your children and your secrets.Girlfriends give advice when you ask for it. Sometimes you take it, sometimes you don't.Girlfriends don't always tell you you're right, but they're usually honest.Girlfriends still love you, even when they don't agree with your choices.Girlfriends laugh with you and don't need canned jokes to start the laughter.Girlfriends pull you out of jams.Girlfriends help you get out of bad relationships.Girlfriends help you look for a new apartment. Help you pack, then help you move.Girlfriends will give a party for your son or daughter when they get married or have a baby. (No matter in which order that happens!)Girlfriends are there for you, in an instant, when the hard times come.Girlfriends will drive through blizzards, rainstorms, hail, heat, and the gloom of night to get to you when your hour of need is desperate.Girlfriends will listen when you lose a job or a friend.
Girlfriends listen when your children break your heart.Girlfriends listen when your parents' minds and bodies fail.Girlfriends cry with you when someone you loved dies.Girlfriends support you when the men in your life let you down.Girlfriends help you pick up the pieces when men pack up and go.Girlfriends rejoice at what makes you happy and are ready to go out and kill what makes you unhappy.
Time passes. Life happens. Distance separates. Children grow up. Marriages fail. Love waxes and wanes. Hearts break. Careers end. Jobs come and go. Parents die. Colleagues forget favors. Men don't call when they say they will... But girlfriends are there... no matter how much time and how many miles are between you....
A girlfriend is never farther away than needing her can reach.When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to walk it for yourself, your girlfriends will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the valley's end. Sometimes, they will even break the rule and walk beside you... or come in and carry you out.SO, to my girlfriends, cousins, and extended family.... YOU BLESS MY LIFE!
The world wouldn't be the same without all of you, and neither would I. When we began this adventure called womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much we would need each other every day... And we need each other still.Love to you all.
