The best kind of friend is the kind you
can sit on a porch and swing with,
never say a word, and then walk away
feeling like it was the best
conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile because it
takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow
to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.
Always put yourself in others' shoes.
If you feel that it hurts you,
it probably hurts the other person, too.
When you were born, you were crying and
everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die,
you're the one who is smiling and
everyone around you is crying.

Tats when I thot ok let me start writing my own quotes and poems and thats how I started writing! Now thats just a piece of info totally irrelevant to you, but anyway thot of sharing :) Hope u had a great weekend!

Starry: What a gr8 inspiration from you. Awesome. Every word counts to me in this poem as they are beautiful and meaningful.
"live your life"- yes, we live once and we have to be happy and makes others smile how muchever we can and bring the best moments.
So many thoughts here but let me pick up the friend one.
Today I had send-off party for a friend who is moving to other city. He was around me for 6 years and he transitioned from a stranger to family. I knew he was hopping to other city since more than a month but only today realized how much I am going to miss him and his family.
Not to mention the home made food round the clock accessible by just a phone call. Bachelor friend tag was the food coupon.
whrer did you get those lovely pics?the comments accompanying them were also good.
Great Quotes and Great Pictures. I needed to hear those words.
great quotes with perfect pictures! when words of wisdom trickle in, the mind listens!!
;-))
Lovely quotes, Lalitha !
I like the last three lines of the third one.
For me, a smile is so very important and I am thrilled when I replace some one's smirk, to a smile...through the eyes.
A smile is not a smile if it is not from the eyes.
I am beginning to understand why you are so popular here.
What a great post! I especially like the quote about not knowing what you're missing until it arrives.
Wonderful thoughts. Hmm, this could very well be the thoughts for the day ;)
too Good.!
Lalitha what a quotes,each and every lines are so true..I feel they are the facts of life..
"May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,

My fav quote from this is:
**It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
