Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow--
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand--
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep--while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
by Edgar Allan Poe

A 92-year-old, small-framed, well-poised and proud man, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with his hair fashionably coifed and shaved perfectly, even though he is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today. His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready.
As he maneuvered his walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of his tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on his window.
'I love it,' he stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.
'Mr. Jones, you haven't seen the room; just wait.'
'That doesn't have anything to do with it,' he replied.
'Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged ... it's how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it. 'It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do.
Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open, I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away. Just for this time in my life.
Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw from what you've put in.
So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories! Thank you for your part in filling my Memory bank. I am still depositing.' Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3 Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

GREATEST WISH

When the Lord opened a window to Heaven, he saw me, and he asked:
My , what is your greatest wish for today? I responded:
"Lord please, take care of the person who is reading this message,
their family and their special friends. They deserve it and I love
them very much".
The love of God is like the ocean, you can see its beginnings but not
its end. This message works on the day you receive it. To some it
may sound dumb, but the person who sent this to me was impressed
with the time. Let us see if it is true.
ANGELS EXIST, but some times, since they don't all have wings we
call them FRIENDS, SUCH AS YOU.

GLUTATHIONE

Is glutathione good for skin whitening? if so how? any claims?
what are the other uses of glutathione?
glutathione is a very good anti-oxidant, and a very effective whitening if you will take it on a greater dosage.
1. gluta is an anti-oxidant that cleans the liver, takes off free-radicals and helps the brain too (did u know that our brain's anti-oxidant is gluta and that low level of it results to some illneses and disorders?)
2. gluta is safe for everyone whatever age is
3. the most advisable dosage is 10-20mg/kg BodyWeight to use glutathione as an anti-oxidant and for whitening it has to be 20-40mg/kg/BW. example: 50kg x 20mg = 1000mg. you have to take it with vitamin c in ascorbic acid form to be able to maximize its whitening effect (vitamin e can also be taken for better results although i don’t really encourage you to do so because ive learned that there are forms of vitamin e which are not water-soluble and it may harm our body in prolonged use). it means that you are just taking dosage of glutathione as an anti-oxidant and not as skin whitener (because i assume that all in all, you are taking 400 mg of )
4. it is 100 percent proven that it really works to whiten skin
5. For most people, the first 3 months use of gluta (fortunately for me, this happened for only 2 mts) is crucial for it is the time where gluta is building the foundation (body chemistry re-alignment) and once built this is only the start for its whitening process. the lightening of skin is gradual (speed is depending on your metabolism and body chemical functioning) this is where you will notice that your skin is shinier and healthier than before. after this process, you will notice that your shade is lighter than before.
6. glutha whitens the skin by reducing the melanin formation of the epidermis going up to the dermis
7. there are definitely no side-effects of using gluta, u know why? coz its ability to whiten your skin is already its side-effect
8. there is also no harm in its prolonged use
9. its advisable to take gluta with meal and never take it with liquor or any alcoholic drink
10. while taking this, you wont really become sensitive but you have to at least put sunblock lotion or cream to exposed parts of your body and your face.
For skin lightening, avoid products with HYDROQUINONE
Other things to help
Licorice extract
magnesium ascorbyl phosphate
Lemon Juice

Some might think that it is the goal of every blissful relationship tobe so open with one another that every thought, memory and past experience is shared. While in many cases that might be a terrific goal, for some it could cause irreparable damages.The mind is an amazing thing. It can remember sights, smells andvisions from decades ago. It can be a powerful tool in recollecting wonderful childhood memories, thoughts of an early courtship and other pleasant occasions. The mind can also be a jail for tormenting thoughts and flashbacks. Think back on survivors of war who after the carnage was over, took their own lives because their minds could not forget and the traumatic images would never go away.I'm often asked how much of one's past life should be shared with someone you want to marry. While each situation is a little different, when it comes to previous intimate encounters, it is usually best to discuss them in general terms. Yes, you should behonest if you had se.xual relationships before you married, but for the sake of the mind that does not forget, it is best to leave out the details. You will have to live with the memories of your past indiscretions but you should not make your mate live with them too. While you might be curious to know the names, places and situations ofyour love's prior intimate encounters, in the long run your relationship will be better off keeping that information in the past.I've known many people who have said that once they knew the specific details of their mate's sexual experiences, it took months or years before those thoughts and images no longer dominated his or her mind.In blissful relationships we don't ask
our mate to share memories heor she is trying to forget and neither do we tell our mates those things that will sear unwelcome images into their mind. In some case sit is best to discuss those things, but a trained counselor would be of more help. While God does forgive and forget the all the wrong things we have done when we ask Him to, we humans have to live withour memories the rest of our lives.

Things were gone different when I accepted my life what it would be. He knows everything about my faith and destiny. He knows me well. I am happy now coz I found that there are better things to look at in the future rather than in the past. Past is past it, it is just a memory to remember and a stepping stone for the future.

I STILL CARE ABOUT YOU

The times we shared together
Always meant so much to me.
You put love in my heart
And you set my soul free.
Sometimes I think
Maybe I took it for granted,
For whenever you were near
My life seemed so enchanted.
I'm sorry that we lost touch,
And I hope that we can find
The connection we once had
That somehow got left behind.
I just want you to know
That it's true, I still care.
Finding someone like you
Is most certainly rare.
I hope you'll please consider
That it would be a dream come true,
If perhaps, just maybe,
I could hear something back from you
