Friendship is a quiet walk in the park with the one you trust Love is when you feel like you are the only two around
Friendship is when they gaze into your eyes and you know they care Love is when they gaze into your eyes and it warms your heart
Friendship is being close even when you are far apart Love is when you can still feel their hand on your heart when they are not near
Friendship is hoping that they experience the very best Love is when you bring them the very best
Friendship occupies your mind Love occupies your soul
Friendship is knowing that you will always try to be there when in need Love is when you will give up everything to be at their side
Friendship is a warm smile in the winter Love is a warming touch that sends a pulse through your heart
Love is a beautiful smile to which nothing compares A tender laugh, which opens your heart A single touch that melts away your fears A smell that reminds you of the tenderness of heaven A voice that reminds you of the innocence of youth
Friendship can survive without love Love cannot live without friendship

How to Relax Your Body...
All you need to know to begin undoing what stress has been doing to you is how to systematically relax all the muscles in your body. Here is how you do it.
Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed for about 15 minutes. Dim the lights. Locate a comfortable chair in which you can sit straight up with your feet on the floor. Sit comfortably in the chair. Pay close attention to how you feel as you begin. Notice any stiffness or tightness. Are there any aches or pains? Do you feel tense, frustrated, or keyed up? Pay attention to how you feel now because you are going to become more relaxed, and you need a point of comparison.
First, we will review what to do and then we will experience the relaxation exercise. The systematic muscle relaxation procedure goes as follows.
-While sitting quietly and comfortably, slowly inhale and exhale and close your eyes as you do so.
-Bend your right hand back at the wrist and briefly hold the tension. Now relax.
-Now do the same thing with the left hand. Hold the tension and now relax.
-This time tighten both hands into fists and hold the tension. Feel it spread up the arms towards the elbows. Now relax.
-Now bend both arms at the elbows and raise your hands up towards your shoulders. Tighten up the muscles in the biceps. Hold it. Now relax.
-These three exercises have used the major muscles in the arms and started them relaxing. If you don't move them around, they will continue to relax becoming more and more relaxed, and you can forget about them
-Next, turn your attention to your face. For your forehead raise your eyebrows up a far as you can and hold the tension. Now relax.
-For your eyes, squeeze the eyelids tightly together. Hold the tension. Now relax.
-For your jaw you just bite down and clamp your teeth together. Feel the tension along the jaw. Now relax. These three exercises have started the face relaxing.
-For your neck just bend your head forward as if trying to touch your chin to your chest. Feel the tension along the back of the neck and now relax. For your shoulders just raise them up as high as you can and notice the tension. Now let them drop all at once and relax.
-For your chest you do two things at once. Take a deep breath and hold it while at the same time trying to touch your shoulder blades together by pulling your arms back. Hold it. Now relax.
-For your stomach you just pull in as if trying to touch your backbone with stomach. Now relax.
-For your back you arch out and away from the chair, and you can feel tension along the spine. Now relax. With your feet flat on the floor, press down and feel the tension spread up the back of the legs. Now relax.
-For the right thigh raise your leg up on front of you and feel the tension build. Now relax. Now do the same thing with the left leg and relax. -Finally, for your feet bend your toes up as if pointing towards the ceiling and feel the tension around the feet and ankles. Once again, relax.

A Caring Heart...
You came along When I needed you most, You held my hand, You held me close. You showed me that The sun will shine And that life isn't bad All the time.
You gave me a hug When I needed it most, Sometimes virtual, Sometimes real. Somehow you always Seem to know Exactly how I feel.
You have a shoulder For me to lean on When I cannot stand alone, You help me see That I am strong, And I'm never on my own.
I'm so grateful for all That you do for me, And I have been from the start, And each night I look up And thank the stars For a wonderful friend With a caring heart.

In This Life For all I've been blessed with in this life There was an emptiness in me I was imprisoned by the power of gold But one honest touch could set me free...
For every mountain I have climbed Every raging river crossed You were the treasure that I'd longed to find Without your love I would be lost...
Let the world stop turnin' Let the sun stop burnin' Let them tell me love's not worth going through If it all falls apart I will know deep in my heart The only dream that mattered had come true In this life, I was loved by you

The Four Candles burned slowly. Their Ambiance was so soft you could hear them speak...
The first candle said, "I Am Peace, but these days, nobody wants to keep me lit."
Then Peace's flame slowly diminishes and goes out completely.
The second candle says, "I Am Faith, but these days, I am no longer indispensable."
Then Faith's flame slowly diminishes and goes out completely.
Sadly the third candle spoke, "I Am Love and I haven't the strength to stay lit any longer." "People put me aside and don't understand my importance. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them."
And waiting no longer, Love goes out completely.
Suddenly... A child enters the room and sees the three candles no longer burning. The child begins to cry, "Why are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit until the end."
Then the Fourth Candle spoke gently to the little boy, "Don't be afraid, for I Am Hope, and while I still burn, we can re-light the other candles."
With Shining eyes the child took the Candle of Hope and lit the other three candles. Never let the Flame of Hope go out of your life.
With Hope, no matter how bad things look and are...Peace, Faith and Love can Shine Brightly in our lives.
