You've been there for me
through the good times and bad
I know I can count on you
to be there when I'm sad

Life without you
just wouldn't be right
I wouldn't be able to get through
each day and night

When I've had a bad day
I know that you're only a call away
When life takes that crazy turn
You are always there to help me learn

We've had so many good times together
I know we'll be best friends forever
No matter where we are
I know we'll never be too far

You're my idol, my sister, my friend
We'll be together till the end
Even when we're old and gray
You'll be here still, to help me get on my way

----------------------------------------------

Be yourself

Why would you want to be someone else
When you could be better by being yourself
Why pretend to be someone you are not
When you have something they haven't got

Cheating yourself of the life you have to live
Deprives others of that only which you can give
You have much more to offer by being just you
Than walking around in someone else's shoes

Trying to live the life of another is a mistake
It is a masquerade; nothing more than a fake
Be yourself and let your qualities show through
Others will love you more for being just you

Remember that God loves you just as you are
To Him you are already a bright shining star
Family and friends will love you more too
If you spent time practicing just being you

Have you ever considered why different people have different levels of romance? Some couples are so romantic that they will do all sorts of crazy and inconceivable things while for some people just dining out and watching a nice movie is their definition of romance. While it is a fact that romance varies with each and every person and so sometimes we might just be envious of our friend's boyfriend or vice versa. Well to unravel this mystery we have brought for you the answer to this question. Researches in this field believe that there are six basic romantic personality types and so romance varies from person to person. So let us explore and find out what these romantic personality types are and see in which category we fall.

EROS
Eros are erotic lovers and they desire a high level of commitment, understanding and passion. The drawback of Eros is that they are dominating in a relationship but they are faithful and give fully and intensely in a relationship. They are highly romantic and are very attractive and beautiful persons.

LUDUS
For Ludus love is a game and they are never serious in relationships. Relationships do not have great depth and importance for them. Ludus can never commit themselves in relationships and like to flirt and play around with many. Ludus tends to avoid emotional intensity. Thus they have a tendency to see love as a game which can be played with diverse partners. For them long term relationships are unlikely.

STORGE
Storge look at love as pious and pure. Love for them is a great friendship, which can never be broken. For them love is really a deep friendship which is evolving and not a mysterious, mystical emotion. They are very loving, caring and respect their partners. They have unpretentious feeling about love. Storge do not like to haste love. For them love can take a long time to develop and can last a lifetime.

Many years ago in a small Indian village,

A farmer had the misfortune Of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender.

The Moneylender , who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful Daughter. So he proposed a bargain.

He said he would forgo the farmer's debt if he could marry his Daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the Proposal.

So the cunning money-lender suggested that they let Providence decide the matter.

He told them that he would put a black Pebble and a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the girl would Have to pick one pebble from the bag.

1) If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father's debt would be forgiven.

2) If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven.

3) But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into Jail.

They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer's field. As They talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he Picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two Black pebbles and put them into the bag.

He then asked the girl to pick A pebble from the bag.
Now, imagine that you were standing in the field. What would you have Done if you were the girl? If you had to advise her, what would you Have told her?

Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:


1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble.

2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag And expose the money-lender as a cheat.

3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order To save her father from his debt and imprisonment.

Take a moment to ponder over the story. The above story is used with The hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral And logical thinking.

The girl's dilemma cannot be solved with Traditional logical thinking. Think of the consequences if she chooses

The above logical answers.

What would you recommend to the Girl to do?

Well, here is what she did ....

The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without Looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path Where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles.

"Oh, how clumsy of me," she said. "But never mind, if you look into the Bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I Picked."

Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had Picked the white one. And since the money-lender dared not admit his Dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into An extremely advantageous one.

MORAL OF THE STORY:
Most complex problems do have a solution. It is only that we don't Attempt to think.

Enjoy Improved Health.

Want to live longer? Then eat less. When animals (as reported in a journal of the National Academy of Sciences) were fed a nutritious, calorie-restricted diet (about 30 percent fewer calories than normal), they experienced less sickness, reduced rates of cancer, less heart disease, and less diabetes, and lived longer.

Researchers believe that if humans would cut out their usual amounts of saturated fats, hydrogenated vegetable oils, pastries, cookies, and other junk food and help themselves to sensible portions of fruits and vegetables instead, they, like the animals in the study, would enjoy improved health.--HealthWise.

Sodas Settle Around the Waistline.

Drinking just one can of sugary soda per day, without adjusting the amount of food eaten or increasing one's exercise level, can add 15 pounds of body weight over a year's time. A 12-ounce can of sugary soda has 150 calories. Americans now drink twice as much sugared soda per person as they did 25 years ago.

Fruit and vegetable juices, and water with a bit of lemon, are great alternatives to the soda habit.--University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.

Pure Water Can Be a Wonderful Doctor!

If you are suffering from fatigue, you feel depressed or too stressed, and you are looking for more energy, water could be just the ticket. Also, if you are interested in losing weight and/or controlling your appetite, if you suffer from dry skin, indigestion, backaches, or headaches, drinking more water might be the solution, at least partly. Water makes up between 70 and 80 percent of our bodies--the blood and brain are 90 percent water! Your cells need it to do everything they're assigned by God, and your kidneys use it to filter out harmful elements. It also helps to lubricate our joints, metabolize fat, keep the brain thinking, and a host of other life-sustaining processes.
Water is a great way to help control one's physical body--as more water consumption typically results in less food consumption. In addition, drinking adequate amounts of water will significantly reduce the daily calories so readily consumed when drinking juice, soft drinks, and milk.
There are several ideas about how much water we need to consume to maintain good health. One rule of thumb is eight ounces a day for every 25 pounds of body weight. You should check with your doctor before changing your diet, but it is a fact that for most people more water will greatly benefit their health.

Your body recycles water in a way only God could have devised, but you will naturally lose water through breathing, sweating, and elimination. To avoid losing excess water, stay away from alcohol, caffeine, and sugar, which slow the absorption of water.--Adapted from Amazing Facts, Inside Report, May/June 2003, p. 30.

More About Fatigue.

75 percent of Americans are chronically dehydrated. In 37 percent of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3 percent. One glass of water shuts down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100 percent of dieters in a University of Washington study. Lack of water is the #1 trigger for daytime fatigue. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day significantly eases back and joint pain for up to 80 percent of sufferers. A mere 2 percent drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45 percent, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79 percent, and be 50 percent less likely to develop bladder cancer.

Why Risk Alcohol?

There is nothing in wine that isn't in grapes, except for the alcohol. You can add a variety of red and purple table grapes to your diet instead of the wine. In addition, berries, plums, currants, and other deep red-blue fruits are also excellent sources of the anthocyanin phenols found in wine. And quercetin, another phytonutrient in wine, is actually more plentiful in apples with skin. Onions, whole buckwheat, oranges, and grapefruits provide some too.
A healthy dose of colorful fruits and vegetables provides an abundance of other health-protective nutrients not found in wine.--Environmental Nutrition.

Change Your Behavior Today!

I do not want to be the person I am (fat, sick, medication dependent, lethargic, incapacitated, etc.). I want my health and personal appearance back.

1. Recognize that you are worth the effort--you deserve the best life possible.
2. Make a list of personal reasons you want to change.
3. Remove obstacles to change--like avoiding friends and family who sabotage you and removing junk food from your surroundings.
4. Surround yourself with healthy foods--stock your kitchen right, find an accommodating restaurant.
5. Commit yourself to change--pick the specific day and do it.
6. Gather all your strength--everything else in your life must be secondary to this effort.
7. Never give in to the old ways--not even once. But, if you make a mistake--it's only one meal (if it is food) --start right in again.
8. Tell others about your changes--they will help keep you on track.
9. Associate with like-minded people--find friends with good habits.
10. Appreciate your success for beating the most powerful enemies in your life.

Tips for Handling Stress.

Regulate your life as much as possible; take some creative control of your activities. Exercise adequately; take a long walk outside if possible, breathe deeply, get some sunlight. Shower regularly and drink plenty of water. Eat nourishing food with an adequate supply of B vitamins. Don't take yourself too seriously. Take time for rest and relaxation. Reach out to help someone. Keep life--present and future--in proper perspective.--A Key Encounter.

Nuts Are Good for You!

Adults who substitute two ounces of almonds for other foods can reduce their LDL cholesterol (the bad kind) by 10 percent in just a month. Almonds are high in monounsaturated fat, a good type of fat also found in avocados, olive oil, and other nuts. When monounsaturated fat replaces saturated or trans fats in your diet, cholesterol levels fall.
Nuts also are a good source of protein. But researchers stress that without substituting nuts for other foods, the resulting weight gain can negate their cholesterol-lowering effect. --Circulation.

The Benefits of Eating Wheat.

An important battle in the war against disease may be whole-grain wheat. While it has long been believed that wheat's fiber content might prevent cancer, new research shows that wheat contains powerful antioxidants that strongly contribute to the prevention of colon cancer, and possibly diabetes and heart disease. These antioxidants are found in the wheat's orthophenols, and orthophenols survive the baking process. --Kansas State University.

A Safe Diet for Everyone.

C. Everett Koop, former surgeon general of the United States, suggests the best menu is a "a varietal diet rich in complex carbohydrates and protein obtained from whole grains, beans, peas, legumes and a selection of root vegetables. Daily servings of leafy vegetables, daily servings of fruit, a few nuts and 8-10 glasses of water."--North Pacific Union Conference Gleaner, October 2002.

Walking--the Perfect Exercise!

There's growing agreement among exercise researchers that the intense physical activities offered by most health clubs are not the only--or even the preferable--path to better health. Indeed, the best thing for most of us may be to just walk.
Yes, walk. At a reasonably vigorous clip (three to four m.p.h.) for half an hour or so, maybe five or six times a week. You may not feel the benefits all at once, but the evidence suggests that over the long term, a regular walking routine can do a world of preventive good.
Walking, in fact, may be the perfect exercise. For starters, it's one of the safest things you can do with your body. It's much easier on the knees than running and doesn't trigger untoward side effects.
Because walking affects you in so many ways at once, it can be difficult to determine precisely why it's good for you. But much of the evidence gathered so far is compelling:


Walking briskly for at least half an hour consumes a couple hundred calories and boosts your metabolic rate for the rest of the day, giving you a better chance of winning the battle of the bulge.

Studies show that women who exercised regularly as children and young adults and had a healthy intake of calcium decreased their risk of developing osteoporosis later in life.

This is interesting.
After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.

Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.

Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.

But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit.

It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.

Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.
Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
