Yesterday I met a stranger...

Today this stranger is my friend. Had I not taken the time to say hello, or return a smile, or shake a hand, or listen, I would not have known this person. Yesterday would have turned into today and our chance meeting would be gone.
Yesterday I hugged someone very dear to me. Today they are gone... and tomorrow will not bring them back. Wouldn't it be nice if we all knew tomorrow would be here? But we don't, so take the time TODAY to give a hug, a smile, an "I love you"...

JUST FOR TODAY,

...smile at a stranger
...listen to someone's heart
...drop a coin where a child can find it
...learn something new, then teach it to someone
...tell someone you're thinking of them
...hug a loved one
...don't hold a grudge
...don't be afraid to say "I'm sorry"
...look a child in the eye and tell them how great they are
...don't kill that spider in your house, he's just lost so show him the way out
...look beyond the face of a person into their heart
...make a promise, and keep it
...call someone, for no other reason than to just say "hi"
...show kindness to an animal
...stand up for what you believe in
...smell the rain, feel the breeze, listen to the wind
...use all your senses to their fullest
...cherish all of your TODAYS

Today you were thought about by me....

they were thought about TODAY!

 A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed
home.
>
> He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed:
> 'Dear Lord:
>
> I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at
home.
>
> I want her to know what I go through.
>
> So, please allow her body to switch with mine for a day.
>
> Amen!'
>
> God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.
>
> The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman.
>
> He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate,
> Awakened the kids,
>
> Set out their school clothes,
>
> Fed them breakfast,
>
> Packed their lunches,
>
> Drove them to school,
>
> Came home and picked up the dry cleaning,
>
> Took it to the cleaners
>
> And stopped at the bank to make a deposit,
>
> Went grocery shopping,
>
> Then drove home to put away the groceries,
>
> Paid the bills and balanced the check book.
>
> He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog.
>
> Then, it was already 01P.M.
>
> And he hurried to make the beds,
> Do the laundry, vacuum,
>
> Dust,
>
> And sweep and mop the kitchen floor.
>
> Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them
on the way home.
>
> Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework.
>
> Then, set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing.
>
> At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad,
breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper.
>
> After supper,
>
> He cleaned the kitchen,
>
> Ran the dishwasher,
>
> Folded laundry,
>
> Bathed the kids,
>
> And put them to bed.
>
> At 09 P.M .
>
> He was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he
went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through
without complaint.
>
> The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said: -
> 'Lord, I don't know what I was thinking.
>
> I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day.
>
> Please, oh! Oh! Please, let us trade back.
>
> Amen!'
>
> The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied:
>
> 'My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to
change things back to the way they were.
> You'll just have to wait nine months, though.
>
> You got pregnant last night.'
