Don't drive when you are drunk.

SmartCruiser.com

Take time to appreciate what you have now....

On the last day before christmas, I hurried to go to the

supermarket to buy the remaining of the gift

I didn't manage to buy earlier. When I saw all the people there, I

started to complain to myself :

'It is going to take forever here and I still have so many other

place to go...' 'Christmas really

is getting more and more annoying every year. How wish I could

just lie down, go to sleep and

only wake up after it...' Nonetheless, I made my way to the toy

section, and there I started to curse the prices, wondering

if afterall kids really play with such expensive toys.

While looking in the toy section, I noticed a small boy of

about 5 years old, pressing a doll

against his chest. He kept on touching the hair of the doll and

looked so sad. I wondered who was this doll

for. Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him :

'Granny, are you sure I don't have enough money?'

The old lady replied : 'You know it that you don't have enough

money to buy this doll, my dear.'

Then she asked him to stay here for 5 minutes while she went to

look around. She left quickly. The

little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.

Finally, I started to walk toward him and I asked him who did he

want to give this doll to.

'It is the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for

this christmas. She was so sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her.'

I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus will bring it to her,

afterall, and not to worry. But he

replied to me sadly. 'No, Santa Claus can not bring it to her

where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mother so

that she can give it to her when she goes there.'

His eyes were so sad while saying this. My sister has gone to be

with God. Daddy say

that Mummy will also go to see God very soon, so I thought that

she could bring the doll with her

to give it to my sister' My heart nearly stopped. The little boy

looked up at me and said : 'I told daddy to tell mummy not to go yet. I

asked him to wait until I come back from the supermarket'

Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he

was laughing. He then told me : 'I also want mummy to take this

photo with her so that she will not forget me.' 'I love my mummy and

I wish she doesn't have to leave me but daddy says that she has to go

to be with my little sister'

Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly. I

quickly reached for my wallet and took a few notes and said to

the boy : 'What if we checked again, just in case if u have enough money?'

'Ok' he said. 'I hope that I have enough.'

I added some of my money to his without him seeing and we

started to count it. There was enough for the doll, and even some spare
money.

The little boy said : 'Thank you God for giving me

enough money' Then he looked at me and added : 'I asked

yesterday before I slept for God to make sure I have

enough money to buy this doll so that mummy can give it to my

sister. He heard me'' I also wanted to have

enough money to buy a white rose for my mummy, but I didn't

dare to ask God too much. But He gave me

enough to buy the doll and the white rose.'

'You know, my mummy loves white rose' A few minutes later, the

old lady came again and I left with my trolley. I finished my shopping

in a totally different state from when I started.

I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind. Then I

remembered a local newspaper article 2 days

ago, which mentioned of a drunk man in a truck who hit a car

where there was one young lady and a little

girl. The little girl died right away, and the mother was

left in a critical state. The family had to

decide whether to pull the plug on the life-assisting machine,

because the young lady would not be able to get out of the coma.

Was this the family of the little boy? Two days after this

encounter with the little boy, I

read in the newspaper that the young lady had passed away. I

couldn't stop myself and went to buy a bunch of

white roses and I went to the mortuary where the body of the

young woman was exposed for people

to see and make last wish before burial. She was there, in her

coffin, holding a beautiful white rose

in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed

over her chest. I left the place crying,

feeling that my life had been changed forever.

The love that this little boy had for his mother and his

sister is still, to that day, hard to imagine.

And in a fraction of a second, a drunk man had taken all

this away from him.

Brighten Someone's Life.


Pure Pearls



Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window.

The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn't hear the band - he could see it. In his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words. Days and weeks passed.

One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.

The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."

Epilogue:

"There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own
situations"

"Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is
doubled"

"If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that
money
can't buy"

"Today is a gift, that's why it is called the present."

DETECTING A 2-WAY MIRROR




How to determine if a mirror are 2 way or not
(Not a Joke!). Not to scare you, but to make sure that you are aware. This was
passed on by a police woman
who gives seminars and techniques for house wives, business women, executives.
Many of the hotels cheat the
customers this way & enjoy while the couple enjoy their honeymoon in their
rooms.

When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms,changing rooms, etc, how many of
you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a
real mirror, or actually a 2-way mirror i.e.,they can see you, but you can't see
them ?

There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female changing
rooms or bathroom or
bedrooms. It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by just
looking at it. So, how do
we determine with any amount of certainty what type of mirror we are looking at
?

CONDUCT THIS SIMPLE TEST:

Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is
a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is a GENUINE
mirror.

However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then
BEWARE, IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR !
(there is someone seeing you from the other side). So remember, every time you
see a mirror, do the "fingernail test".

It doesn't cost you anything. It is simple to do. This is a really good thing to
do. The reason
there is a gap on a real mirror, is because silver is on the back of the mirror
UNDER the glass.

Whereas with a 2-way mirror, the silver is on the surface. Keep it in mind! Make
sure and check every time you enter in hotel rooms. May be someone is making a
film on you.

Ladies : Share this with your friends.
Men : Share this with your wives, daughters,friends,colleagues etc.
