S.H.A.R.I.N.G

The Wooden Bowl

I guarantee you will remember the tale of the Wooden Bowl

tomorrow, a week from now, a month from now, a year from now.

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year - old grandson.

The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered.

The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and

failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor.

When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth.

The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess.
'We must do something about father,' said the son.

'I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.'

So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner.

There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner.

Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.

When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone.

Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.

The four-year-old watched it all in silence.

One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor.

He asked the child sweetly, 'What are you making?' Just as sweetly, the boy responded,

'Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up.
' The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.

The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless.

Then tears started to stream down their cheeks.

Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done.

That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table.

For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason,

neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

On a positive note, I've learned that, no matter what happens,

how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles four things:

a rainy day, the elderly, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

I've learned that, regardless of your relationship with your parents,

you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.

I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as making a 'life..'

I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands.

You need to be able to throw something back

I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you

But, if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others,

your work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you

I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

I've learned that every day, you should reach out and touch someone.

People love that human touch -- holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.

I've learned that you should pass this on to everyone you care about .I just did.

** I received this email from a friend of mine

indeed, its a very touching story

this email had been circulating since 1998

If u feel like wan to pass this on, feel free to the link it to my page (^^,) thanks

It is alright to admit stupid;
but DON'T prove yourself stupid

J.O.T.D

Its Tuesday afternoon : was resting my mind a bit after lunch: same thing, was on IM with DevilRay:
and this is how she entertained me today

The value of a Catholic education
and a pencil
(this is too cute)

**You don't even have to be Catholic to appreciate this one**

Little Mary Margaret was not the best student in Catholic School
Usually she slept through the class.

One day her teacher, a Nun, called on her while she was sleeping.

'Tell me Mary Margaret, who created the universe?'

When Mary Margaret didn't stir, little Johnny who was her friend

sitting behind her, took his pencil and jabbed her in the rear.

'God Almighty!' shouted Mary Margaret.

The Nun said,

'Very good' and continued teaching her class.

A little later the Nun asked Mary Margaret,

'Who is our Lord and Savior?'

But Mary didn't stir from her slumber.

Once again, Johnny came to her rescue and stuck Mary Margaret
in the butt.

'Jesus Christ!!!' shouted Mary Margaret and the Nun once again said,

'Very good,' and Mary Margaret fell back sleep.

The Nun asked her a third question...

'What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?'

Again, Johnny came to the rescue.

This time Mary Margaret jumped up and shouted,

'If you stick that thing in me one more time, I'll break it in half!'

THE NUN FAINTED !! ...........

L.I.F.E

I am in office and while resting my brain I was on IM with DevilRay ...
talked abt how we've been recently, and this is wat she told me ....

I quote from DevilRay
"Life's Journey" is not to arrive at the grave safely in
a well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways,
totally worn out, shouting... Holy Shit!! What a Ride!!"

U.P.S.E.T

At times, I dont really know IF I just thinking too much
I agree with majority of men, women general - think too much

and because I m one, naturally i behave like one

Just found out today, a close friend of mine have been lying me to.
Maybe i should not use the word 'lie', he's got the rights to his own privacy.
But i felt hurt in a way that he's not telling me the truth when I asked.
I trust in him as he has helped me in many things in many ways...
He's been very kind & generous to me, taught & told me things i never knew ...

I m grateful for that, but I only ask for the truth when a questions is directed to him

I think i ought to read again the book "Why Men Lie & Women Cry" by Allen Pease & Barbera Pease
