if you love someone…


All things for a reason; this was sent to me by my cyberpal lazy ichi not too long ago.  At the time I remember thinking that I’d seen it before, tho I did enjoy it – but I didn’t think that I’d use it here because of the source.  But maybe everything really does happen for a reason, only we have to wait sometimes to understand what that reason is.

Tonight’s thought before I lay my head down to sleep;  if you love someone… set them free.

(more after the jump)

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE…
A set of screwdrivers,
a cordless drill, and
a black lace bra…

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE…
One friend who
Always makes her Laugh…
And one
Who lets her cry…

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE…
A good piece of furniture
not previously owned by
Anyone else in her family…

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
Eight matching plates,
Wine glasses with stems,
And a recipe for a meal that will
Make her guests feel honored.

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE…
A feeling of control over
Her destiny…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
How to fall in love
Without losing herself…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
How to quit a Job
Break up with a lover
and confront a friend without ruining the friendship

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
When to try harder… and
WHEN TO WALK AWAY.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
That she can’t change
The length of her calves,
The width of her hips, or
The nature of her parents…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
That her childhood
May not have been
Perfect..but;
Its over…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
What she would and Wouldn’t
Do for love or more…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
How to live alone…
even if
She doesn’t like it…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
Whom she can trust,
Whom she can’t,
And why she shouldn’t
Take it personally…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
Where to go…
Be it to her best friend’s kitchen table..
Or a charming inn in the woods…
When her soul needs soothing… !

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
What she can and can’t accomplish
In a day…
A month..
And a year…

This is for and about a special friend - and she knows who she is…

Hi Nina,
Everything really does happen for a reason - there is no coincidence in this life.
Sometimes however, the reason is unknown to us. I do wonder if your rediscovering this message is for you, or for you to pass along to your readers (or both!). Either way, it is a great message. And you should LOL knowing that sometimes in life we discover wisdom in strange places-even Glamour Magazine! :)
I hope you get out and enjoy this beautiful day!!

Hi Wendy,

I too — do not believe in coincidences. There are no accidents.

Maybe the message is for whomever needs it right now - but I left it for someone special… someone I need to let go.

Both the message, and the song, are here for a reason. But I’m happy to know that you liked it too! ;)

Ah yes - working today but not for too long. Thanks!

nina

This Must Be The Place (naïve melody)

Home — is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me round
I feel numb - born with a weak heart
(So I) guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground
Head in the sky
It’s ok I know nothing’s wrong . . nothing

Hi yo I got plenty of time
Hi yo you got light in your eyes
And you’re standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money
Always for love
Cover up and say goodnight . . . say goodnight

Home — is where I want to be
But I guess I’m already there
I come home - -she lifted up her wings
Guess that this must be the place
I can’t tell one from another
Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time Before we were born
If someone asks, this where I’ll be . . . where I’ll be

Hi yo We drift in and out
Hi yo sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people
You got a face with a view
I’m just an animal looking for a home
Share the same space for a minute or two
And you love me till my heart stops
Love me till I’m dead
Eyes that light up, eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots
Hit me on the head Ah ooh

Hi Nina: I love it. I have always found that things that happen in one’s life always happen when there is a need. What a wondeful day to be alive. Richard

fly a kite,
plant a flower,
watch the charles
flow into the sea,
drink the moon together.

you know where to go.

fare thee well.
