After 40 Years Of Marriage

One fine day, an old couple around the age of 70 walks into a lawyer’s office. Apparently, they are there to file a divorce.

Lawyer was very puzzled, after having a chat with them, he got their story…. This couple had been quarreling throughout their 40 plus years of marriage. Nothing ever seems to go right.

They hang on because of their children, afraid that it might affect their up-bringing. Now, all their children have already grown up, have their own family, there’s nothing else the old couple have to worry about. All they wanted is to lead their own life free from all these years of unhappiness from their marriage, so both agreed on a divorce….

Lawyer was having a hard time trying to get the papers done, because he felt that after 40 years of marriage at the age of 70, he couldn’t understand why the old couple would still want a divorce..

The Lost Wallet, A Great Love Story!

As I walked home one freezing day, I stumbled on a wallet someone had lost in the street. I picked it up and looked inside to find some identification so I could call the owner. But the wallet contained only three dollars and a crumpled letter that looked as if it had been in there for years.

The envelope was worn and the only thing that was legible on it was the return address. I started to open the letter, hoping to find some clue. Then I saw the dateline–1924. The letter had been written almost 60 years ago.

It was written in a beautiful feminine handwriting on powder blue stationery with a little flower in the left-hand corner. It was a “Dear John” letter that told the recipient, whose name appeared to be Michael, that the writer could not see him anymore because her mother forbade it. Even so, she wrote that she would always love him.

It was signed, Hannah.

It was a beautiful letter, but there was no way except for the name Michael, that the owner could be identified. Maybe if I called information, the operator could find a phone listing for the address on the envelope.

“Operator,” I began, “this is an unusual request. I’m trying to find the owner of a wallet that I found. Is there anyway you can tell me if there is a phone number for an address that was on an envelope in the wallet?”

She suggested I speak with her supervisor, who hesitated for a moment then said, “Well, there is a phone listing at that address, but I can’t give you the number.” She said, as a courtesy, she would call that number, explain my story and would ask them if they wanted her to connect me.

I waited a few minutes and then she was back on the line. “I have a party who will speak with you.”

I asked the woman on the other end of the line if she knew anyone by the name of Hannah. She gasped, “Oh! We bought this house from a family who had a daughter named Hannah. But that was 30 years ago!”

No Matter Where Life Takes You

No matter where life takes you, big cities or small towns, you will inevitably come across small minds – people who think they’re better then you – people who think that material possessions, dressing a certain way, driving a fancy car, etc. makes you a worthwhile human being. But material things don’t matter. What matters is having strength of character, integrity, and a sense of self-worth. And if you’re lucky enough to have any of these things, never sell them. Never sell yourself short.

We must also remember to treat each other with a level of respect no matter our racial, political, religion, or financial status. I have met beautiful rich people and poor people alike. There are always some that walk around with the air of entitlement. Remember today you are “here” but tomorrow you can be “there. ” Be kinder people and give value toyour life. ~ Diane Vega

A Tomato Story

A jobless man applied for the position of ‘office boy’ at a very big company.

The employer interviewed him, then a test: clean the floor.

“You are hired.” – the employer said. ”Give me your email address, and I’ll send you the application to fill, as well as when you will start.”

The man replied, “I don’t have a computer, neither an email.”

“I’m sorry,” said the employer, “if you don’t have an email , you cannot have the job.”

The man left with no hope. He didn’t know what to do, with only $10 USD in his pocket.

He then decided to go to the supermarket, bought a 10 kg tomato crate, then sold the tomatoes door to door. In less than two hours, he succeeded and doubled his capital. He repeated the operation 3 times and returned home with $60 USD. The man realized that he could survive by this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and returned late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled everyday. Shortly later, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.

He could give her everything he could but the woman never appreciated.

Though the man was not rich, but he could share all he had with her.

He could buy for her clothes and the only thing his wife could say was that the husband was fulfilling his duty as a Man.
The man would buy a dress but in reply, the woman would mock at him, because the dress was of low quality.
The man could smile at his wife and tell her
“One day, I will become rich and I will buy for you all the expensive things you need”The woman could never make any phone call unless she was requesting anything from her husband and once her request was not granted, all she could do was to quarrel for days, sometimes fight.

Then she threw the meat to the bush and went back home.

The Husband felt low but he never let down his love for her.

10 Sign She or He Is The Right Match For You

When in the dating world, it is hard to separate the good from the bad. In fact, most people spend a lot of their life trying to find “the one”. While some think it cannot be done, it is possible to find the right match. With these 10 signs, you can determine if an individual is the right match for you:

1- In common: When looking for companionship, it is obviously beneficial to have something in common. While it is easy to get along at first, it is easier when two people enjoy the same thing. In fact, this is more important than most realize as it is hard to remain a couple for a long time if both people have different things they enjoy.

2- Talk about the future: When dating, it is hard to plan for the future. On the other hand, when discussing a concert or other event in the future, a couple is probably on good terms when they do not flinch about talking about the future.

3- Friends: It is hard for a couple to go far when their friends don’t like each other. In fact, this is a huge test that people give to each other.

4- Talk in we: It is hard for two people to come together; it is hard for people to talk about their plans. However, when a couple talks about “we” they know that things are getting serious.

When You Care Too Much About Everything

There is no snapping out of depression or anxiety. I have been battles this all my life and runs in my family. The best thing to do is try to understand and be patient with the person. Pray for them as well. Be supportive instead of criticizing and don’t judge. Not everyone can handle situations you can. ~ Lisanne Cruz

Anxiety is when you care too much about everything. Depression is when you don't really care about everything. Having both is just like hell.

I suffer from anxiety and depression with great days and terrible days. On the bad days all I want to do is sleep. People need to take this disorder seriously and not tell you just to snap out of it. ~ Coreen Casamassina

The Wooden Bowl

A touching story on Family, Love, Parents & Relationships

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and a four-year old grandson. The old man’s hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered.

The family ate together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass often milk spilled on the tablecloth.

The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. “We must do something about grandfather,” 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 at the dinner table. Since grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl. Sometimes when the family glanced in grandfather’s direction, he had a tear in his eye as he ate 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.

A Dad's Speech At His Daughter's Wedding

I thought I would start my speech by addressing you as the “new” family of my daughter. But I think it would be inappropriate because now that she is married, you are “the family” for her. Believe me; I don’t have a problem with that. I, in fact, want my daughter to have “you” as her priority now. Its time for us to take a backseat in her life. We would happily accept it but would surely request one thing- please keep her happy!

I am more than sure that you will keep her very happy. She will perhaps be happier than what she used to be here. But like all fathers, I obsess over my daughter’s happiness which is making me say this over and over again- please keep her happy!

She never was and will never be a burden for me. She is in fact the reason why I breathe and smile. I am getting her married because this is what the law of nature demands. I am helpless in the face of our culture and therefore sending her to your home. She was the happiness of my home and will now light up your home. I am giving my world to you. Please make sure it remains beautiful. I am giving away my princess to you. Please make sure she stays as a queen. I have raised her with my sweat and blood and now she is wonderfully perfect. For all the care, love, beauty and warmth my daughter will bring into your lives, I just want her happiness in return—please keep her happy!

If at times you think that my daughter has said or done something wrong, feel free to scold her. But handle her with love. She is very fragile. If at times she feels low, be with her. She just needs a little bit of your attention. If at times she feels sick, show her some care. It’s the medicine that works best for her. If at times she fails to fulfill a responsibility, feel free to chastise her. But empathize with her. She is still learning. Do understand her—please keep her happy!

If you choose to stay in an unhappy relationship

You can be happy in an unhappy relationship as long as your relationship with your own being is strong. Never depend on someone else for your own happiness. Took me 39 years to figure that out but I did it. You can too. Always look within.

If you choose to stay in an unhappy relationship, then you choose to stay UNHAPPY!

How The Hate We Carry Can Burden Us.

A kindergarten teacher has 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.

Days after days 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.

Brotherly Love - Touching Story

READ THE FOLLOWING STORY SLOWLY, IT'S A TOUCHING STORY

I have a brother who is 3 years younger than me. I wanted to buy a handkerchief, which all girls around me seemed to have. So, one day I stole 50 cents from my father's drawer. Father had discovered about the stolen money right away. He made me and my younger brother kneel against the wall as he held a bamboo stick in his hand. 'Who stole the money?' he asked. I was stunned, too afraid to talk. Neither of us admitted to the fault, so he said, 'Fine, if nobody wants to admit, you two should be beaten!' He lifted up the bamboo stick.

Suddenly, my younger brother gripped father's hand and said, Dad, I was the one who did it!' The long stick smacked my brother's back repeatedly. Father was so angry that he kept on whipping my brother until he lost his breath. After that, he sat down on our stone bed and scolded my brother, 'You have learned to steal from your own house now. What other embarrassing things will you are possibly doing in the future? You should be beaten to death, you shameless thief!' That night, my mother and I hugged my brother.

His body was full of wounds from the beating but he never shed a single tear. In the middle of the night, all of sudden, I cried out loudly. My brother covered my mouth with his little hand and said, Sis, now don't cry anymore. Everything has happened.' I still hate myself for not having enough courage to admit what I did. Years went by, but the incident still seemed like it just happened yesterday. I will never forget my brother's expression when he protected me. That year, my brother was 8 years old and I was 11 years old. When my brother was in his last year of secondary school, he was accepted in an upper secondary school in the central. At the same time, I was accepted into a university in the province. That night, father squatted in the yard, smoking, packet by packet.

You may not believe in this but the advice is great! Read all the way down, you might learn something!!!

1. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

2. Marry a man or woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their

conversational skills will be as important as any other.

3. Don’t believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.

4. When you say, “I love you”, mean it.

5. When you say, “I’m sorry”, look the person in the eye.

6. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.

7. Believe in love at first sight.

8. Never laugh at anyone’s dreams. People who don’t have dreams

don’t have much.

9. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt

but it’s the only way to live life completely.

10. In disagreements, fight fairly. Please No name calling.

The hardest test in life

The hardest test in life is having the the patience to wait for the right moment ...

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced. ~ Soren Kierkegaard

The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy - it's all that matters. ~ Audrey Hepburn

Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too. ~ Will Smith

6 Things Men Like In Women More Than Good Looks

Have you ever sat across the table from a man and wondered what draws him to you? You know you look good and you think that is the only reason he likes you. The fact is it goes deeper than just looks. Here are things men are after in women:

1. Independence

No real man wants to babysit you. Don’t be too needy, or you will chase him away. As much as you are in a relationship, retain your identity and continue being yourself. Being in a relationship doesn’t mean you transfer all your needs to your man.

2. Honesty

Trust in a relationship is everything. Lying to your man makes it hard for him to trust you. You might think the lie is small and harmless, but with time, it breaks down the trust that exists between the two of you. Lack of trust also builds a wall between you and that engagement ring. Make sure you keep all your interactions open and honest. Don’t hide things from him, because one day he might find out and the relationship goes down the drain.

Never leave someone for little Misunderstandings.

There was a couple who decided to end their relationship. 

Boy was not ready to accept it but he had to….....

One day boy got married……

His Ex-Girlfriend approached him and said :- 

How dare you used my favourite colour as the theme for your Wedding!!!

How dare you use my favourite flower as your Decoration!!!

How dare you to set our anniversary as your Wedding Day!!!

This Is What Happens After You Quit Smoking: A Timeline Of How Your Body Heals

Smoking is an addiction that’s programmed into our consciousness. It used to be prescribed by doctors in the good’ ol days, because it gave you more stamina. People who smoke just can’t seem to kick the habit – and it’s not their fault. These cancer sticks are designed to tuck you in and keep you stuck. To be able to quit, you need a really strong support system and plan set in place to be able to actually rewire your brain.

This is what happens after you stop:

20 Minutes

Your heart rate will go back to normal as well as your blood pressure. You will feel more sensations in your hands and your legs. The organism will slowly start to clean itself from the nicotine, which can make you crave for another cigarette, but try and be persistent.

8 Hours

You inhale carbon monoxide when tobacco is burning and that substance bonds with your blood cells.

That prevents the oxygen to bond to your cells and cause dangerous cardiovascular diseases.

You can cut that level of carbon monoxide on half by not smoking for 8 hours. Your oxygen levels will turn to normal and you will lower the risk of a heart attack.
