I Was Looking Through Some Old Stuff In My Inbox And Found This Forwarded Message By A Friend Who Is No Longer With Us; I Would Like To Forward This Message To You

LADIES!!! Remember....a  layer of dust protects the Wood beneath it.

'A  house  becomes a home  when you can write 'I love you' on thefurniture.'

I used to spend at least 8 hours every weekend making sure  things were just perfect - 'in case someone came over'
Finally I realized one day that no-one came over; they were all  out living life and having fun! NOW,  when people visit, I  don't have to explain  the 'condition'  of my home  They  are more interested in hearing about the things I've been doing  while I was away living life and having fun.
If you haven't  figured this out yet, please heed this advice. 
Life  is short. Enjoy it!
Dust if you must ............  but  wouldn't it be better to paint a picture or write a letter,  bake  cookies or a cake  and  lick the spoon or plant a seed,  ponder  the difference between want and need?Dust  if you must,  but  there's not much time . . . . with  beer to drink , rivers to swim and mountains to climb  ,  music  to hear and books to read, friends to cherish and life to lead.  
Dust  if you must,  but  the world's out there with the sun in your eyes,  the  wind in your hair, a  flutter of snow, a shower of rain. This  day will not come around, again.

Dust if you must  ,  but  bear in mind,  old  age will come and it's not kind. . And  when you go - and go you must - you, yourself will make more  dust!  

Share  this with all the wonderful women in your life. I  JUST DID. It's  not what you gather,  but  what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.

This message made me smile. This friend of mine had tried her best to spread even the little things that seemed to make her smile and happy. I know that through these bits of knowledge, she is really thanking God for all that he has given to her. I believe that when she forwarded this message it is one of her ways to show appreciation and to let others understand the beauty to life that God has created for each and everyone of us. Likewise, when I really delighted over a little story, picture, joke, etc., I'd like to share what I found. I mean, it's obvious that if something can impress you, you might believe that it could impress others too. Well, at least give it a try and you can find out whether or not you and that person have common interests. 


It's good to share. I know that much now.
