Do you enjoy friendship?

Do you enjoy your friendships?...For sure – YES!...But please recollect when you've met your friends recently?...and called up?...and sent e-mail?...Ages and ages ago…

Contemporary life, with its tight schedules and constant lack of time and overloads, just do not give us FREE time for pleasant and interesting relations and meetings…They say: "Friends are thieves of time"…Work and family are considered to be the crucial values of a person's life…These are "MUSTS"…We must and we DO devote our life-time to the things…

Undoubtedly, there is "friendship" in the hot-list of human-life values…But please agree friendship is not the MUST…And this is really the most valuable and important aspect of friendship – FREEDOM…We are FREE here…free to choose time to get into touch with friends…free to choose place where we would love to be with them…free to choose way of spending time…and the best matter of friendship is freedom to be in the company of another person…In SUCH life we need it…We need take a breathe…Freedom…Friendship…

Who are the people whose company do we like sharing ?
Actually, what most people call their "circle of friends" more closely resembles "a triangle".

The base of the triangle – acquaintances. It is pleasant to be in an Acquaintance's company – he/she gives you sincere cordiality and feeds you with admiration and even more better if it is interesting – there is no need to find any another amusements any more…Well…the acquaintances are PLEASANT if it's the best case and they are NEEDFUL in the worst (if you're upset, they'll cheer you up, low self-confidence – they'll help you to get assertiveness, would like to have fun – you'll get it).

Then there are "core friends" in the middle. These we know by first name, and we see them somewhat regularly. The essence of the friendships is pleasant USE – expressing our views, reviving spirits, getting support. It's easy to strike up the friendship when your souls are in perfect harmony. "We DO understand each other so easily!"- and you can feel the real soul-mate in the person.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems,
but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.


Life is a shipwreck but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.

Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.

Health is a large word. It embraces not the body only, but the mind and spirit as well;... and not today's pain or pleasure alone, but the whole being and outlook of a man.

To fear is one thing. To let fear grab you by the tail and swing you around is another.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.


Remember, we all stumble, every one of us. That's why it's a comfort to go hand in hand.

When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.

Adversity is like a strong wind. It tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that we see ourselves as we really are.
Each day comes bearing its own gifts. Untie the ribbons.

Drag your thoughts away from your troubles... by the ears, by the heels, or any other way you can manage it.

Every evening I turn my worries over to God. He's going to be up all night anyway.

I'm grateful for every new, healthy day I have. It has helped me prioritize my life.

Worthy is the Lamb

Do You Have A Miracle For Me?

When I can't sleep,

When its darkness,

When there is fear,

Lord, lead the way,

The road to life is full surrender.

Help me to trust in You each day,

For I know not, what lies tomorrow.

But this I ask, Lord build my faith.

That in my perfect weakness,

You will be my perfect strength.

I need a miracle from you, Lord.

Do you have a miracle for me?

I need your touch in my life, Oh Lord

Won't You come and bring a miracle today?

Lord, grant me peace in times of trouble

Give me hope when in despair

I won't be moved, I won't be shaken

For in all things I know You're there

Lift me up Lord

My soul is weary

Help me to give it all to You

Help me to love and be forgiving

Create in me a heart that is new

I need a miracle. I need a miracle today.

“It is easy to hate and it is difficult to love. This is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get.”

“Hatred paralyses life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.”

“Love sees sharply, hatred sees even more sharp, but Jealousy sees the sharpest for it is love and hate at the same time”

“Hatred and anger are powerless when met with kindness”

“...Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.”

My Life with you

Through short-lived hope,

and fading ideals,the dream of you kept me searching, waiting for the moment when all that I had lived forwould find me here, and bring comfort to this weary traveler who needed it most.
With aching feet and tired heart, I walked from life to life,in towns where I was a stranger,in places that existed only for lovers to share,and grew anxious with the journey, that seemed endless and left me wanting.
Lights that once danced grew dim, and music that once filled the air became a faint whisper,a reminder that drifted on the windof what was missing from my life,and the beauty I knew I could know.
All that prepared me for you – the lonely nights, the failed attempts at love – fades now in the light of this moment, this dance we share beneath the impassioned light of a crimson harvest moon.
Your breath on mine, the air that moves my spirit past all that has been lost, settles the beating of my heart,until at long last, and here with you,I have found my peace.

My Endless Love - 3 August 1985

You are the only one

Despite the doubts and troubles that you've gone through,

There is no doubt at all about your love.

Though many now change partners when they want to,

You've found your one and chosen not to move.

In doing so, you've given me a picture

More beautiful than any I might draw,

More potent than the most persuasive lecture,

With far more force than any rule or law.

So much you've given me!

Yet what you've givenOf love and time and money and concern

Is less than what I've seen as you have striven

To make your lives a lesson I might learn.

I'm grateful for the things you did and do,

But even more, for what you made of you.

25th Anniversary

How can love hold on so many years?

A passion lasts, we're told, not more than two.

Pleasure is more rich when passion clears,

Pouring forth from love to love renew.

Years of love can gather to an ocean

Tormented in its wild constancy.

When there's no wind, it seems bereft of motion;

Eastward, though, the waves roll wild and free.

No love can last unless there is the will.

Tapestries are woven by design.

Years pass and love continues, stronger still

For all the daily care to make it shine.

In life, if there is one, then we are blessed,

For whom we can be totally undressed;

Take off our selves and find our spirits fair;

Hunger for sweet love, and it is there.

MayBen
