| 453975 | 2006-05-12 02:07:00 | Hi beetle, Those friends may have been preoccupied with one of their own worries and didn't understand how much you needed their support at that time . Maybe they felt at a loss as to what they could do to help . Some people don't realise that just by listening, the other person will feel better by just putting their being able to voice their problems, or even just being there for them . They may see you as "one strong lady" who has coped well with whatever gets thrown at you . My family see me as independent and strong, and that I can't stand being fussed over . One of my sister's on the other hand, is all sweet and feminine, and people fall over themselves to help her - one smart cookie . :cool: Reminds me of when I went on holiday to Mt Maunganui with her and the 2 kids in a campamatic - a trailer-cum-tent thingy - which even a mere female could put up by herself . Anyway, just as we were about to put it up, all these male campers rushed over to help us . I just cracked up laughing . There was a downside though - all their wives glared at us for the whole week and wouldn't speak to us :lol: :groan: Quote: When you dig another out of trouble, you have a place to bury your own . Sounds like you've got lots of holes to put your problems in, eh? :p Last quote - aka rant or whatever . . . "After a while, you'll learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul; And you'll learn that love doesn't mean leaning and that company doesn't mean security . And you'll begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child . And you'll learn to build all your roads on today, because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans . After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much . So . . . plant your own garden and decorate your own soul - instead of waiting for someone else to bring you flowers . And you'll learn you really can endure . . That you really are strong . . And that you really do have worth" . cheers . |

I found this . . . . . . . . . . . . . Make a Ripple - Make a Difference Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness . Every act creates a ripple with no logical end . " -Scott Adams If you cast a small pebble onto the surface of a glassy calm pond, ripples form and move outward across the water . Each ripple causes another, and another and so on . A very small act can make a significant difference . Make a Ripple - Make a Difference . Ripplemakers are those people who perform acts of kindness, thereby making a difference to someone . When a person reaches out to another, he creates a ripple . Often the benefactor, in turn, reaches out to someone else - and the ripples continue . Make a Ripple - Make a Difference . I encourage you to be a Ripplemaker . Ripplemakers come in all sizes and shapes - all colors and creeds . Anyone can be a Ripplemaker - even children . Make a Ripple - Make a Difference . beetle |
