 GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT LIFE THAT LITTLE CHILDREN AND ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:

 GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED:
1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.
2) When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.
3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second person.
4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.
6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.
7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.
8) You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.
9) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.
10) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandpa's lap.

GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:
1) Raising teenagers is like nailing Jell-O to a tree.
2) Wrinkles don't hurt.
3) Families are like fudge...mostly sweet, with a few nuts
4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.
5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.
6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy.
 
GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD
1) Growing up is mandatory; growing  old is! optional.
2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down
there.
4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.
6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.
7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.


THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:
1) You believe in Santa Claus.
2) You don't believe in Santa Claus.
3) You are Santa Claus
4) You look like Santa Claus.
 
SUCCESS:
At age  4 success is . . not peeing in your pants.
At age 12 success is . . . having friends.
At age 16 success is . . . having a drivers license.
At age 35 success is . . . having money.

At age 70 success is . . . having a drivers license.
At age 75 success is . . . having friends.

Pass this on to someone who could use a laugh.
 
Always remember to forget the troubles that pass your way; BUT NEVER forget the blessings that come each day.

Have a wonderful day with many *smiles*
 
Take the time to live!!!
Life is too short

Coffee TALK: A kind of horoscope for coffee breaks
Diamond

What Your Coffee Says About You

Need some chitchat over a cup of coffee? Check out this cool list of coffee personalities. There isn't a shred of scientific backing and it might have a touch of flawed logic, but give it a try anyway and see if there is any accuracy of not. 


 Picture via (thedoghousediaries)

 *As for me, I'm an amalgamation of espresso, mocha, latte, americano, and frappuccino. But I'd love to know, which kind of coffee are you?

 STRESS BREAKERS

  • Catch it IMMEDIATELY: Catch it becomes it a MONSTER!
  • Spell it OUT: Write down your feelings to give focus to the problem 
  • Grab a BITE to EAT: Hungry? Low blood Sugar? Grab some munchies and SMILE

Potatoes can teach you a lesson:
Diamond


Potatoes can teach you a lesson:



A kindergarten teacher decided to let her class play a game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few potatoes. Each potato will be given a name of a person that the child hates, so the number of potatoes that a child will put in his/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she hates.


So when the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the name of the people he/she hated. Some had 2 potatoes; some 3 while some up to 5 potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry with them the potatoes in the plastic bag wherever they go (even to the toilet) for 1 week.

Day after day passed by, and the children started to complain due to the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten potatoes. Besides, those having 5 potatoes also had to carry heavier bags. 

After 1 week, the children were relieved because the game had finally ended. The teacher asked:  “How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with you for 1 week?” The children let out their frustrations and started complaining of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they go.

Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. The teacher said: “This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred for somebody inside your heart. The stench of hatred will contaminate your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten potatoes for just 1 week, can you imagine what is it like to have the stench of hatred in your heart for your lifetime???” 

Moral of the story: Throw away any hatred for your brother from your heart. Forgiving others is the best attitude to take, forgive others like you would like yourself to be forgiven for your mistakes

'Nothing , I just helped him cry'


When there is nothing left but God , that is when you find out that God is all you need. Take 60 seconds and give this a shot! All you do is simply say the following small prayer for the person who sent you this.

Heavenly Father , please bless all my friends in whatever it is that You know they may be needing this day! And may their life be full of Your peace , prosperity and power as he/she seeks to have a closer relationship with You. Amen .

Then send it on to five other people , Within hours you caused a multitude of people to pray for other people. Then sit back and watch the power of God work in your life.

P. S. Five is good , but more is better..
God Bless you!!

Secret Beauty Formulas You Can Make at Home
Diamond

Why buy high-priced toiletries and over-the-counter medications filled with chemicals and preservatives?


Better: Make your own body-care products and healing remedies, often for pennies. Grow herbs yourself or buy them, along with other ingredients, at health-food stores.


1) Problem: Bad breath.

What you need:
  • 1 cup distilled water
  • 2 Tablespoons vodka
  • 2 drops peppermint essential oil
  • 2 drops myrrh essential oil

Rinsing with water after eating can keep bad breath at bay.
Preparation: In a small bowl, mix vodka and oils. Stir in distilled water (which is free of minerals and impurities). With 1 Tablespoon of mixture, rinse mouth, then spit out. Repeat daily.

Good to know: Place remaining mixture in a covered, airtight container. Store away from light (to preserve the oils’ potency) for up to 6 weeks.




2) Problem: Dull hair color.


What you need:
  • 2 cups distilled water
For dark hair:
  • ¼ cup fresh rosemary leaves
For blonde hair:
  • ¼ cup chamomile flower petals

*Preparation: Boil water. Add rosemary or chamomile, cover and simmer 30 minutes. Strain, discarding leaves. Lean head forward and pour infusion over hair, catching run-off in a basin. Repeat twice. Do not rinse off.

*Good to know: The herbs help restore natural highlights. For best effect, use after every shampoo.


3) Problem: Foot odor.

What you need:
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup dried sage leaves

*Preparation: Boil vinegar. Add sage, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Strain, discarding leaves. Fill a basin with 1 gallon of warm water, add infusion and soak feet for 15 minutes. Repeat daily.

4) Problem: Itchy, flaky or dry skin.

What you need:
  • 1 cup coarsely ground sea salt
  • ¼ cup olive oil

*Preparation: Stir oil into salt. Standing in the shower, massage 2 Tablespoons of mixture into skin (reserving remainder for later). Rinse. Repeat weekly.

*Good to know: For a pleasing scent, add 6 drops of lavender essential oil to the mixture before using. Store remainder in a glass jar in a cool, dark place.


5) Problem: Pimples.

What you need:  
  • 1 cup distilled water 
  • 1 Tablespoon dried thyme leaves 
  • 1 Tablespoon dried calendula blossoms
*Preparation: Boil all ingredients, covered, for 10 minutes. Strain, discarding leaves and blossoms. Cool infusion. Apply 2 Tablespoons to clean skin. Air dry. Repeat twice daily.

6) Problem: Puffy, tired or irritated eyes.

What you need:
  • 2 chamomile tea bags
  • 1 cup distilled water

*Preparation: Boil distilled water. Add tea bags, and steep until water is lukewarm. Remove bags and squeeze out most of the water. Place bags over closed eyes for 15 minutes.

*Important: If you have ragweed allergies, do not use this preparation.


7) Problem: Sunburn.


What you need:
  • 1 cup distilled water
  • ¼ cup dried or ½ cup fresh peppermint leaves

*Preparation: Boil water. Add peppermint, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Strain, discarding leaves. Fill bathtub with tepid water, and add infusion. Soak 20 minutes. Repeat as needed.

*Good to know: Substitute lemon mint, lavender mint or other types of mint leaves for the peppermint to vary the aroma.
