WHY I LOVE MUM
Mum and Dad were watching TV when Mom said, "I'm tired, and it's getting late. I think I'll go to bed"
She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's lunches.
Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for supper the following evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning.
She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes into the washer , ironed a shirt and secured a loose button
She picked up the game pieces left on the table, put the phone back on the charger and put the telephone book into the drawer.
She watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to dry.
She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom. She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted out some cash for the field trip, and pulled a text book out from hiding under the chair.
She signed a birthday card for a friend, addressed and stamped the envelope and wrote a quick note for the grocery store. She put both near her purse.
Mom then washed her face with 3 in 1 cleanser, put on her Night solution & age fighting moisturizer, brushed and flossed her teeth and filed her nails.
Dad called out, "I thought you were going to bed."
"I'm on my way," she said.
She put some water into the dog's dish and put the cat outside, then made sure the doors were locked and the patio light was on.
She looked in on each of the kids and turned out their bedside lamps and TV's , hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks into the hamper, and had a brief conversation with the one up still doing homework.
In her own room, she set the alarm; laid out clothing for the next day, straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her 6 most important things to do list. She said her prayers, and visualized the accomplishment of her goals.
About that time, Dad turned off the TV and announced to no one in particular. "I'm going to bed."
And he did...without another thought.
Anything extraordinary here? Wonder why women live longer...?
CAUSE WE ARE MADE FOR THE LONG HAUL..... (and we can't die sooner, we still have things to do!!!!)

From What I Researched...for YOU Beautiful Women
Love conquers all and other myths
7. Having Kids Will Bring You Closer
8. There Is Such a Thing As Love at First Sight
9. Always Keep Him Guessing
10. You Can Never Be Too Close
12. Everyone Experiences the Seven-Year Itch
13. The Way to a Man’s Heart Is Through His Stomach
Here is what relationship experts think about the tried, but not always true, love sayings.
by Stacey Colino
1. Say “I Love You” Every Day
Barbara De Angelis, personal-development expert: Say it as often as possible. There’s no reason to be emotionally stingy with the person you love.
Nancy Kalish, psychologist: I agree that it should be said often, but it should be said sincerely, so it means something. Not just “Good-bye. Love you.”
2. Play Hard to GetSam Yagan, dating-website cofounder: Playing hard to get starts the relationship off on a deceptive foot. If you want your relationship to be based on trust, honesty, and communication, why would you begin it like that?
Greg Behrendt, coauthor of He’s Just Not That Into You: You shouldn’t play hard to get; you should be hard to get, because your life is so busy and fulfilling. My wife and I call it being a MOD―a moving object of desire.
Tip: Trying something new will give you the boost of energy you need to stay busy.
3. Your Spouse Shouldn’t Be Your Best Friend
Pepper Schwartz, sociologist: I agree. I think you’re asking a lot of your marriage to have the level of confidentiality, truthfulness, and disclosure that a best friendship has. Your marriage can fulfill only so many roles.
De Angelis: I disagree. If your spouse isn’t your best friend, then what is he? I think it’s important that you not only love him but like him a lot, too.
John Gray, author of Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus: I have no problem with partners who are best friends, but you should have other close friends to confide in as well―especially when you are having relationship difficulties and need time away from your spouse. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
Tip: Give your relationship a rest every once in a while and make time to be with friends.
4. Absence Makes the Heart Grow FonderDe Angelis: A little bit of absence can help you appreciate your partner. Too much is dangerous. Relationships need connection, and it’s challenging to stay connected when you aren’t spending time together.
Schwartz: To a point―and then absence makes the heart go roaming. You need a steady diet of intimacy and the other person’s presence to remember why you’re in the relationship. If you don’t see each other often enough, you can start to lead parallel lives instead of lives that intersect.
Yagan: Absence can make the desire and lust for your partner grow. But it can also lead to stress in a relationship, because phone calls or text messages aren’t substitutes for real conversation.
5. You Can Learn to Love Someone
Judy Kuriansky, sex therapist: That’s true, depending on how you define love. You may not have the love-at-first-sight kind of love, but the deep companion kind of love―in terms of trusting each other and being a team―can develop over time.
Behrendt: No, that sounds like settling. I don’t believe in settling, because it’s not fair to the person you’re with or yourself. It’s not like settling on an apartment you don’t love but can live with.
6. Never Go to Bed Angry
Barbara De Angelis, personal-development expert: I disagree. Most of us don’t do well discussing emotional topics late at night, when we’re tired and less emotionally articulate―and your well-intentioned desire to kiss and make up is likely to make him angrier. Let your partner get some rest and things will be easier to resolve in the morning.
Howard J. Markman, psychologist: Most of the relationship issues that people argue about at night can wait for another day. However, if there are urgent issues that need to be discussed, partners should talk things through earlier in the night, then try to spend what is left of the evening relaxing.
Nancy Kalish, psychologist: You shouldn’t go to bed angry, but that doesn’t mean you have to solve every problem before you nod off. Even if an issue isn’t resolved, people who love each other should be able to put it aside and get some sleep, but with the understanding that it will be addressed in the near future with a time specified.
7. Having Kids Will Bring You Closer
Pepper Schwartz, sociologist: Children are an extraordinary source of joy, but they also bring conflict and difficulty into any relationship. You lose time, privacy, and intimacy. An otherwise easy relationship can be tested in a whole new way.
Kalish: The more family members you have, the more friction you have, because there are more relationship issues to work through. And if you focus exclusively on the kids, it takes away from your togetherness as a couple.
8. There Is Such a Thing As Love at First Sight
Ellen Wachtel, couples therapist: False. Often it takes time for love to develop. For some people, physical chemistry plays such a big role at the outset that it is mistaken for love.
Schwartz: It’s a romantic story when it works out, but you don’t hear about the relationships that end badly. Relationships start slow and build; they aren’t necessarily wonderful from the start.
Markman: You’ll quickly know if you’re attracted to each other, but not if you’re compatible or fit to stick together through tough times.
9. Always Keep Him Guessing
Greg Behrendt, coauthor of He’s Just Not That Into You: No, that’s tactical game playing, not love. It takes a lot of calculated effort and is dishonest.
Schwartz: It’s powerful and mysterious to be unpredictable, but it is also manipulative and can build resentment and anger and erode intimacy and respect.
Sam Yagan, dating-website cofounder: There’s good guessing and bad guessing, and it’s really about what kind of guessing you’re making him do. Try to keep the relationship fresh by being unexpectedly romantic.
10. You Can Never Be Too Close
Wachtel: False. Many marriages are damaged by partners thinking that closeness means not having to censor what they say or do.
Some couples take each other for granted: Metaphorically speaking, they never get out of their sweat suits at home. If you don’t make an effort to be well mannered or attractive to your partner, then you’re too close.
Markman: That’s absolutely true. Closeness―emotional intimacy―is the heart of a good marriage, so it’s important to talk about what closeness means to each of you.
11. Love Conquers All
Barbara De Angelis, personal-development expert: Unfortunately, this is not true. Love is a big part of a lasting relationship, but shared values and commitment are still required.
Pepper Schwartz, sociologist: Sadly, it’s a myth. Love won’t conquer poverty, addiction, or abuse.
12. Everyone Experiences the Seven-Year Itch
Schwartz: The itch is true, but it doesn’t necessarily take seven years to get there. Some people get divorced within a year or less if they’re convinced the marriage isn’t salvageable.
Howard J. Markman, psychologist: Most partners will at some time think about divorce, but not necessarily in seven years. The data show that most people who thought about getting divorced were happy they stayed married when surveyed five years later. When things are tough, focus on increasing friendship and sensuality in the relationship.
13. The Way to a Man’s Heart Is Through His Stomach
De Angelis: The way to a man’s heart is through his heart. Men want a woman who is going to be a great friend and companion―and if they have to order takeout, so be it!
Judy Kuriansky, sex therapist: It’s true if he loves food, but that part about having to feed the needs of his heart is true, too. Still, don’t lose sight of your own needs. For a relationship to be successful, both partners need to feel pleased and fulfilled.

WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
Enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own,
Even if she never wants to or needs to...
Something perfect to wear if the employer,
Or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .. A
youth she's content to leave behind....
A past juicy enough that she's looking forward to Retelling it in her old age....
A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...
One friend who always makes her laugh...
And one who lets her cry...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .......
A good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family...
Eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, And a recipe for a meal, That will make her guests feel honored...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..
A feeling of control over her destiny...
How to fall in love without losing herself..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
How to quit a job, Break up with a lover,
And confront a friend without; Ruining the friendship....
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
When to try harder...
And WHEN TO WALK AWAY...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
That she can't change the length of her calves,
The width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..
That her childhood may not have been perfect...but it's over...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
What she would and wouldn't do for love or more...
How to live alone...
Even if she doesn't like it...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW.. .
Whom she can trust, Whom she can't, And why she shouldn't take it personally...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
Where to go...
Be it to her best friend's kitchen table..
Or a charming Inn in the woods...
When her soul needs soothing...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
What she can and can't accomplish in a day...
A month...
and a year...
AND REMEMBER:
GOOD FRIENDS ARE LIKE STARS.
YOU DON'T ALWAYS SEE THEM,
BUT YOU ALWAYS KNOW THEY ARE THERE!

Empowering Managers to Success
Hi Melrose,
To be a great Project Manager, you need great personal confidence. If you're not 100% confident, then it will impact on your ability to achieve success. So read this newsletter, to find out...
How to Boost Your Confidence in Projects
For some people, confidence comes naturally and to others, they need to work at it. So follow these Golden Rules, if you want to improve your level of personal confidence:
1. Look after yourself
Confident people look and feel great. The first step towards boosting confidence is to start with your physical and mental state. Try and eat healthy foods, reduce junk food and drink plenty of water during the day. Do a little exercise every day. It will work wonders. Go to the gym or take up a sport. Then get a new haircut, buy some new clothes and shout yourself a gift that you'll value. If you look and feel fantastic, then you'll start each day feeling wonderful.
2. Set Simple Goals
When you get to work, set simple and achievable weekly goals. So on Friday night when you leave work for the weekend, you'll feel great that you've done what you set out to achieve. This will give your confidence a great boost. Make sure you tell people about the goals you've set, and when you achieve them. Never make your goals too hard or too easy to reach. And each week, stretch yourself a little more so that you're constantly performing at higher levels.
3. Get a Mentor
Find someone who is honest, wise and that you can trust—and ask them to be your mentor. It might be a family member, friend or colleague. Meet with them monthly to talk about the goals you've set and what you've achieved. Get their feedback and advice on any problem you're experiencing. Their feedback and support will boost your confidence even further.
4. Work Life Balance
To be at the top of your game, you need to have a great work / life balance. This means juggling your work and personal time evenly. Be aware that if you overwork, then tiredness and stress will knock your confidence. So limit your work hours and make the most of your personal time by doing things you enjoy. If you get the most out of life, then your confidence will grow each day.
5. Get back into learning
When you started your career, everything was new and exciting. But now, you probably don't learn as much as you used to, and this will take some of the excitement away from the job. So get back into learning new things through reading, online research and meeting people to learn from them. Try and learn something new each day. This will not only improve your performance at work but it will give your confidence a great boost because of the extra knowledge you're gaining.
Fellow WomEN-Aklan, I am giving away my secrets. I am sharing to you this thoughts above, something we all could learn today. This was from my weekly subscription of METHOD 1,2,3 - Empowering Managers to Success.
Keep sending your thoughts and share with beautiful WomEN Aklan like YOU.
Keep Smilin'
One of the more difficult aspects of Christian living is getting the right balance in giving and receiving correction. Humility demands that we be open to being corrected when we sin, and this is actually a good thing for us as we get warned that we are on the wrong path. Similarly, when we help bring someone back from a life of sin to a life of holiness, we are said to be covering over a multitude of our own sins. Yet in both of these examples, the most important thing is humility and the willingness to accept that we are not always going to be right.
Check for Matthew 18:15-20 for reflection.
So, stay out of trouble WomEN-Aklan and keep smilin' and stay beautiful and kind always. It takes 65 muscles to frown but only 15 muscles to SMILE. Tama bah? hehehe
See you around.

JOURNEY CALLED LIFE
{Anonymous}
A mouse looked through the crack In the wall to see the farmer And his wife open a package. What food might this contain?' The mouse wondered - - -He was devastated to discover It was a mousetrap. Retreating to the farmyard, The mouse proclaimed the warning :
There is a mousetrap in the house!
There is a mousetrap in the house!'
The chicken clucked and scratched, Raised her head and said, 'Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave Concern to you, but it is of no consequence To me. I cannot be bothered by it.' The mouse turned to the pig and told him, 'There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!' The pig sympathized, but said, 'I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, But there is nothing I can do about it But pray. Be assured you are in my prayers.' The mouse turned to the cow and said, 'There is a mousetrap in the house!
There is a mousetrap in the house!' The cow said, 'Wow, Mr. Mouse.. I'm sorry for you, But it's no skin off my nose.' So, the mouse returned to the house, Head down and dejected, To face the farmer's mousetrap . . . Alone. That very night a sound was heard Throughout the house -- like the sound Of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital, And she returned home with a fever. Everyone knows you treat a fever With fresh chicken soup, so the farmer Took his hatchet to the farmyard For the soup's main ingredient. But his wife's sickness continued, So friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock.
To feed them, The farmer butchered the pig. The farmer's wife did not get well; She died. So many people came for her funeral, The farmer had the cow slaughtered to Provide enough meat for all of them. The mouse looked upon it all from his Crack in the wall with great sadness.
So, the next time you hear someone is Facing a problem and think it doesn't Concern you, remember ---- When one of us is threatened, We are all at risk..
We are all involved in this Journey called life. We must keep an eye out for One another and make an extra effort To encourage one another.
REMEMBER. . . . . . EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY; OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER FOR A REASON.
One of the best things to hold onto In this world is a FRIEND.
