Subj: What
Is The Meaning of Life (S511)
From: Joke-Of-The-Day-Mail.com on 11/1/2006
and
From: RexBarker
A seven-year-old boy approached
an old man in front of a
wishing well, looked up into
his eyes, and asked: "I
understand you're a very wise
man. I'd like to know the
secret of life."
The old man looked down at the
youngster and replied:
"I've thought a lot in my lifetime,
and the secret can be
summed up in four words.
1) The first is think.
Think about the values you wish
to live your life
by.
2) The second is believe.
Believe in yourself based on
the thinking you've
done about the values you're going
to live your life
by.
3) The third is dream.
Dream about the things that can be,
based on your belief
in yourself and the values you're
going to live by.
4) The last is dare. Dare
to make your dreams become
reality, based
on your belief in yourself and your
values."
And with that, Walter E. Disney
said to the little boy,
"Think, Believe, Dream, and
Dare."

Subj: The
Parable Of The Pencil (S479c)
From: Joke-Of-The-Day-Mail.com on 3/27/2006
The Pencil Maker took the pencil
aside, just before putting
him into the box. "There
are 5 things you need to know,"
he told the pencil, "Before
I send you out into the world.
Always remember them and never
forget, and you will become
the best pencil you can be."
1. You will be able to do many
great things, but only if you
allow yourself
to be held in Someone's hand
2. You will experience a painful
sharpening from time to time,
but you'll need
it to become a better pencil
3. You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.
4. The most important part of you will always be what's inside.
5. On every surface you are used
on, you must leave your mark.
No matter what
the condition, you must continue to write .

Subj: Keeper
(S457b)
From: darrell94590 on 10/27/2005
I grew up in the 30s/40s with
practical parents. A mother,
God love her, who washed aluminum
foil after she cooked in it,
then reused it. She was
the original recycle queen, before
they had a Name for it...
A father who was happier getting
old shoes fixed than buying
new ones. Their marriage
was good, their dreams focused.
Their best friends lived barely
a wave away. I can see them
now, Dad in trousers, tee shirt
and a hat and Mom in a house
dress, lawn mower in one hand,
and dish-towel in the other.
It was the time for fixing things.
A curtain rod, the kitchen
radio, screen door, the oven
door, the hem in a dress. Things
we keep. It was a way
of life, and sometimes it made me crazy.
All that re-fixing, eating,
renewing. I wanted just once to
be wasteful, waste meant affluence.
Throwing things away meant you
knew there'd always be more.
But then my mother died, and
on that clear summer's night, in
the warmth of the hospital room,
I was struck with the pain
of learning that sometimes there
isnt any more.
Sometimes, what we care about
most gets all used up and goes
away...never to return.
So, while we have it, its best we
love it, and care for it, and
fix it when it's broken, and
heal it when it's sick.
This is true, for marriage, old
cars, children with bad report
cards, dogs with bad hips,
aging parents, and grandparents.
We keep them because they are
worth it, because we are worth it.
Some things we keep, like a
best friend that moved away or a
classmate we grew up with.
There are just some things that
make life important, like
people we know who are special,
and so, we keep them close!
I received this from someone
who thinks I am a ' keeper'.
I've sent it to the people I
think of in the same way..
Good friends are like stars.
You don't always see them, but
you know they are always there.
Keep them close!
Things God Won't Ask On That
Day
1... God won't ask what kind
of car you drove.
He'll
ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation.
2... God won't ask the square
footage of your house.
He'll
ask how many people you welcomed into your home.
3... God won't ask about the
clothes you had in your closet.
He'll
ask how many you helped to clothe.
4... God won't ask what your
highest salary was.
He'll
ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.
5... God won't ask what your
job title was.
He'll
ask if you performed your job to the best of our ability.
6... God won't ask how many
friends you had.
He'll
ask how many people to whom you were a friend.
7... God won't ask in what neighborhood
you lived.
He'll
ask how you treated your neighbors.
8... God won't ask about the
color of your skin.
He'll
ask about the content of your character.

Subj: The
Real Friend Test (S435b)
From: RFSlick on 5/27/2005
(See 'Friendship Quote'
in PRISON)
A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a
guest. A real friend opens
your refrigerator and
helps himself.
A simple friend has never seen you cry. A real
friend has shoulders soggy
from your tears.
A simple friend doesn't know your parents'
first names. A real friend
has their phone numbers
in his address book.
A simple friend brings a bottle of wine to
your party. A real friend comes
early to help you
cook and stays late to help
you clean.
A simple friend hates it when you call after
he has gone to bed. A real
friend asks you why you
took so long to call.
A simple friend seeks to talk with you about
your problems. A real friend
seeks to help you with
your problems.
A simple friend wonders about your romantic
history. A real friend could
blackmail you with it.
A simple friend thinks the friendship is over
when you have an argument.
A real friend calls you
after you had a fight.
A simple friend expects you to always be there
for them. A real friend expects
to always be there
for you!
Today I pass the friendship ball to you. Pass
it on to someone who is a friend
to you.....
From: Joke-Of-The-Day-Mail.com on 6/19/2005
(S438b)
My father always used to say
that when you die, if you've
got five real friends, then
you've had a great life.

Subj: Cookie
Thief At The Airport (S364b)
From: Imogenelumen on 1/20/2004
At an airport one night, with
several long hours before her
flight, she hunted for a book
In an airport shop. Bought a
bag of cookies and found a place
to drop.
She was engrossed in her book,
but happened to see, that the
man sitting beside her, as bold
as could be, grabbed a cookie
or two from the bag in between,
which she tried to ignore to
avoid a scene.
So she munched the cookies and
watched the clock, as the gutsy
cookie thief diminished her
stock. She was getting more
irritated as the minutes ticked
by. Thinking, "If I wasn't so
nice, I would blacken his eye."
With each cookie she took, he
took one too. When only one was
left, she wondered what he would
do. With a smile on his face,
and a nervous laugh, he took
the last cookie and broke it in
half. He offered her half,
as he ate the other. She snatched
it from him and thought....ooh,
brother! This guy had some
nerve and he's also rude.
Why he didn't even show any gratitude!
She had never known when she
been so galled. She sighed with
relief when her flight was called.
She gathered her belongings
and headed to the gate, refusing
to look back at the thieving
ingrate.
She boarded the plane, and sank
in her seat. Then she sought
her book, which was almost complete.
As she reached in her
baggage, she gasped with surprise,
there was her bag of cookies,
in front of her eyes.
If mine are here, she moaned
in despair, the others were his,
and he tried to share.
Too late to apologize, she realized
with grief, that she was the
rude one, the ingrate, the thief!
How many times have we absolutely
known that something was a
certain way, only to discover
later that what we believed to
be true....was not?
"Always Keep An Open Mind And
An Open Heart, Because.........
You Just Never Know...."You
might be eating someone else's
cookies."

Subj: I Had
A Drug Problem (S354, S585)
From: RFSlick on 11/8/2003 and 4/4/2008
Had a drug problem when I was young:
I was drug to church on Sunday
morning. I was drug to church
for weddings and funerals.
I was drug to family reunions no
matter the weather. I
was drug to the bus stop to go to
school every weekday.
I was drug by my ears when I
was disrespectful to adults and
teachers. I was also drug
to the woodshed when I disobeyed
my parents.
Those drugs are still in my veins;
and they affect my behavior
in every thing I do, say, and
think. They are stronger than
cocaine, crack, or heroin and
if today's children had this
kind of drug problem, America
might be a better place.

Subj: Inner
Peace (S354)
From: DoctorDebt on 11/9/2003
I am passing this on to you
because it has definitely worked
for me. By following the
simple advice I read in an article,
I have finally found inner peace........
It reads: "The way
to achieve inner peace is to
finish all the things you've
started." I looked around
to see all the things I started
and hadn't finished. So,
today I have finished one bottle
of white wine, a bottle of red
wine, a bottle of Baileys, my
Prozac, a large box of chocolates
and a quart of beer. You
have no idea how good I feel.
You may pass this on to those
you feel are in need of Inner
Peace.

"Change has a considerable psychological
impact on the human
mind. To the fearful it is threatening
because it means that
things may get worse. To the

because the challenge exists
to make things better. "
