Compassionate Carer
You value love and relationships

People are your priority. You know that the key to happiness is in the people around you and your relationships with them. You may be spiritual, and you will find that investing your time and energy into friends and family will bring you happiness in life.

did a personality test on facebook and this is what I got
true?

1. Throw out non-essential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay ‘them’.

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. ‘An idle mind is the devil’s workshop.’ And the devil’s name is Alzheimer’s.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it’s family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don’t take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

moral of the story:
rainy days are dangerous

Have you ever, at any one time, had the feeling that life is bad,
real bad, and you wish you were in another situation?

You find life make things difficult for you, work sucks, life sucks,
everything seems to go wrong…

Read the following story… it may change your views about life:

After a conversation with one of my friends, he told me despite
taking 2 jobs, he brings back barely above 1K per month, he is happy as he is.
I wonder how he can be as happy as he is considering he has to
skimp his life with the low pay to support a pair of old parents,
in-laws, a wife, 2 daughters and the many bills of a household.

He explained that it was through one incident that he saw in India
that happened a few years ago when he was really feeling low and touring
India after a major setback.

He said that right in front of his very eyes he saw an Indian mother
chop off her child’s right hand with a chopper.
The helplessness in the mother’s eyes,
the scream of pain from the innocent 4-year-old child
haunted him until today.

You may ask why did the mother do so; had the child been naughty,
had the child’s hand been infected??
No, it was done for two simple words- – -TO BEG!

The desperate mother deliberately caused the child to be handicapped
so that the child could go out to the streets to beg.

Taken aback by the scene, he dropped a piece of bread he was eating
half-way. And almost instantly, a flock 5 or 6 children swamped towards this
small piece of bread which was covered with sand, robbing bits from one another.
The natural reaction of hunger.

Stricken by the happenings, he instructed his guide to drive him to
the nearest bakery. He arrived at two bakeries and bought every single loaf
of bread he found in the bakeries. The owner was dumbfounded but willingly
sold everything. He spent less than $100 to obtain about 400 loaves of bread
(this is less than $0.25 per loaf) and spent another $100 to get daily necessities.

Off he went in the truck full of bread into the streets. As he
distributed the bread and necessities to the children (mostly handicapped)
and a few adults, he received cheers and bows from these unfortunate.
For the first time in his life he wondered how people can give up their dignity
for a loaf of bread which cost less than $0.25.

He began to tell himself how fortunate he is. How fortunate he is to
be able to have a complete body, have a job! , have a family, have the chance
to complain what food is nice and what isn’t nice, have t he chance to be
clothed, have the many things that these people in front of him are deprived
of…

Now I begin to think and feel it, too! Was my life really that bad?
Perhaps… no, I should not feel bad at all… What about you?
Maybe the next time you think you are,
think about the child who lost one hand to beg on the streets.

‘Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want, it is the
realization of how much you already have.’

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we
look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one
which has been opened for us.

It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it, but
it’s also true that! we don’t know what we’ve been missing until it arrives.

The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you
can’t go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

Please send this message to those people who mean something to you,
to those who have touched your life in one way or another,
to those who make you smile when you really need it,
to those that make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down,
to those who you want to let them know that you appreciate their friendship.

Cheers

pun intended!!
