Living in 2005

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2005, WHEN....
1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of four.
4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.
6. You go home after a long day at work, you still answer the phone in a business manner.
7. You make phone calls from home, you accidentally dial "9" to get an outside line.
8. You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies.
10. You learn about your redundancy on the11 o'clocknews.
11. Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job.
12. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.
13. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.
14. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic andyou turn around to go and get it.
15. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.
16. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :)
17. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
18. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.
19. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
20. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.

AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING at yourself.

No Star is Ever Lost

Have we not all, amid life's petty strife,
Some pure ideal of a noble life
That once seemed possible?
Did we not hear
The flutter of its wings and feel it near,
And just within our reach? It was. And yet
We lost it in this daily jar and fret.
But still our place is kept and it will wait,
Ready for us to fill it, soon or late.
No star is ever lost we once have seen:
We always may be what we might have been.

Take Time

"Take time to think; it is the source of power.
Take time to read; it is the foundation of wisdom.

Take time to play; it is the secret of staying young.
Take time to be quiet; it is the opportunity to seek GOD.

Take time to be aware; it is the opportunity to help others.
Take time to love and be loved; it is GOD's greatest gift.

Take time to laugh; it is the music of the soul.
Take time to be friendly; it is the road to happiness.

Take time to dream; it is what the future is made of.
Take time to pray; it is the greatest power on earth."

Song of the Day

SUPERWOMAN by Karyn White

DEDICATED: To all the "Superwoman" out there!

Early in the morning I put breakfast at your table,
and make sure that your coffee has its sugar and cream.
Your eggs are overeasy, your toast unlikely,
all that's missing is your morning kiss that used to greet me.
Now you say the juice is sour, it used to be so sweet,
and I can't help but to wonder if you're talking about me.
We don't talk the way we used to talk, it's hurting so deep,
I've got my pride, I will not cry, but it's making me weak.

I'm not your superwoman...
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down,
and think that everything is okay...
Boy I am only human...
This girl needs more than occasional hugs
as a token of love from you to me...

I fought my way through the rush hour
trying to make it home just for you.
I want to make sure that your dinner
will be waiting for you.
But when you get there,
you just tell me you're not hungry at all,
you said you'd rather read the paper
and you don't want to talk.

You like to think that I'm just crazy
when I say that you've changed,
I'm convinced I know the problem,
you don't love me the same.
You're just going through the motions
and you're not being fair,
I've got my pride, I will not cry,
still I can't help but care!

I'm not your superwoman (oh no no no!!!)
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down
and think that everything is okay
Boy I am only human (I'm only human!!!)
This girl needs more than occasional hugs
as a token of love from you to me

I'm not your superwoman
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down
and think that everything is okay
Boy I am only human
This girl needs more than occasional hugs
as a token of love from you to me.

Oooh, baby!!!
Look into the corners of your mind,
I'll always be there for you through good and bad times,
but I can't be the superwoman that you want me to be!
I'll give my everlasting love if you'll return love to me!

I'm not your superwoman!
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down
and think that everything is okay
Boy I am only human
This girl needs more than occasional hugs
as a token of love from you to me

Oh!!! If you feel it in your heart and you understand me,
stop right where you are, everybody sing along with me!
(hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo...)
I'm the kind of girl that can treat you so sweet,
but you got to realize that you got to be sweeter to me!!!
I need love, I need just your love,
I'm not your superwoman.
