    Some thing to ponder on (cup of coffee)

    A group of alumni, all highly established in their respective careers, got together for a visit with
    their old university professor. The conversation soon turned to complaints about the endless stress of
    work and life in general.

    Offering his guests coffee, the professor went into the kitchen and soon returned with a large pot of
    coffee and an eclectic assortment of cups: porcel a in, plastic, glass, crystal - some plain, some expensive, some quite exquisite. Quietly he told them to help themselves to some fresh coffee.

    When each of his former students had a cup of coffee in hand, the old professor quietly cleared his throat and began to patiently address the small gathering. ''You may have noticed that all of the nicer looking cups were taken up first, leaving behind the plainer and cheaper ones. While it is only natural for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is actually the source of much of your stress-related problems.'
    He continued. 'Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In fact, the cup merely
    disguises or dresses up what we drink. What each of you really wanted was coffee, not a cup, but you instinctively went for the best cups. Then you began eyeing each other's cups.''
    ''Now consider this: Life is coffee. Jobs, money, and position in society are merely cups. They are just tools to shape and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not truly define nor change the quality of the Life we live. Often, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that is provided for us.

    Enjoy your coffee!''

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything. So please let's try to remember:

    Live simply.
    Love generously.
    Care Deeply.
    Speak Kindly.
    Leave the Rest to God.
    My Honey!!
    Remember - the richest person is not the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least.

    From Hafez, Ghazal No. 317
    Openly I admit, with much joy and such glee;
    Enslaved to love, from both worlds I am free.
    As a bird of Paradise, to parting I did agree
    Fell in the trap of life and worldly tragedy.
    I was an angel, I resided in the heavens;
    Renovation of the world - the mission given to me.
    The nymphs of paradise, the cool ponds and the tree
    In the hope of union, swiftly left my memory.
    On the tablet of my heart, inscribed from a to z
    It is all about you, I can’t see other than thee.
    No soothsayer foretold of my exit or entry
    O Lord, this journey, why did you for me decree?
    I am but a slave of the Tavern of Love
    Each moment, a new pain becomes my new remedy.
    If my bleeding heart pours out of my tearful eyes
    It’s just, I deserve; why to others I make my plea?
    Wipe away Hafiz’s tears with your hands so he can see
    Or else, this flood, brings all of us to our knee.

    No human will ever be as good as the vampire Edward, the fictional *tear* Edward. LoL. Ne ways, everyone has their different pictures of Edward and Bella. Like for me, I think the person that was picked to play Bella is perfect, but a lot of my friends disagree, and the same goes for the guy whose supposed to play Edward, cept I don't like him and some of my friends do. Ya.....But I prefer Edward ne day, and man I TTLY wish he was REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LoL
