~♥~To The Wonderful PEOPLE In My Circle~♥~

I went back and found this poem that touched my heart. This was written for female friends, but I changed some words for my male friends, but you get the idea of the poem......and I didn't write this but I LOVE it!!!

To the Wonderful People In My Circle

When I was little,
I used to believe in the concept of one best friend,
and then I started to become a woman.
And then I found out that if you allow your heart to open up,
God would show you the best in many friends.
One friend is needed when you're going through things with your man.
Another friend is needed when you're going through things with your mom.
Another when you want to shop, share, heal, hurt, joke, or just be.
One friend will say, "Let's cry together,"
another, "Let's fight together,"
another, "Let's walk away together."
One friend will meet your spiritual need,
another your shoe fetish,
another your love for movies,
another will be with you in your season of confusion,
another will be your clarifier,
another the wind beneath your wings.
But whatever their assignment in your life,
on whatever the occasion,
on whatever the day,
or wherever you need them to meet you with their gym shoes on and hair pulled back,
or to hold you back from making a complete fool of yourself ...
those are your best friends.
It may all be wrapped up in one person,
but for many, it's wrapped up in several...
one from 7th grade,
one from high school,
several from the college years,
a couple from old jobs,
on some days your mother,
on some days your neighbor,
on others, your sisters,
and on some days, your daughters.

"Why aren't you with someone???"

I was recently asked a question that I actually often wonder about myself: "Why aren't you with someone." The simple answer "I don't know. I know I have my ways and I'm far too picky." My way of dealing with it is to just put it in God's hands and hope that he brings the right person to me in due time. I must admit on one hand I enjoy my single life, no answering and/or checking in to anyone. Then on the other hand of course we all want a little affection from time to time and I love that.
A friend sent me a poem and expressed how much they wanted me to read and feel the words that were written and to understand what the poem is truly saying. I did and I like it. So enjoy for yourself!

"Because "by TD Jakes

Just because no one has been fortunate enough to realize

what a gold mine you are,
Doesn't mean you shine any less.
Just because no one has been smart enough to figure out
that you can't be topped,
Doesn't stop you from being the best.
Just because no one has come along to share your life,
Doesn't mean that day isn't coming.
Just because no one has made this race
worthwhile,
Doesn't give you permission to stop
running.
Just because no one has realized how
much of an awesome woman you are,
Doesn't mean they can affect your
femininity.
Just because no one has shown up who
can love you on your level,
doesn't mean you have to sink to theirs'.
Just because you deserve the very
best there is,
Doesn't mean that life is always fair.
Just because God is still preparing your
king,
Doesn't mean that you're not already a
Queen.
Just because your situation doesn't
seem to be progressing right now,
Doesn't mean you need to change a
thing.
Keep shining, keep running, keep
hoping, and keep praying,
Keep being exactly what you are
already.
COMPLETE!!!

***Don't Waste My Time...***

Here's a poem that I just agree 100% with, at times it may be hard but it is something that needs to be done.

Don't spend major time with minor people.

If there are people in your life that continually
disappoint you, break promises, and stomp on your dreams,
too judgmental, have different values and don't have your
back during difficult times...that is not a friend.
To have a friend, be a friend. Sometimes in life as you grow,
your friends will either grow or go. Surround yourself with
people who reflect values, goals interests and lifestyle.
When I think of any of my successes, I am thankful to GOD
from whom all blessings flow, and to my family and friends that
enrich my life. Over the years my phone book has changed because
I changed for the better. At first you think you're going to be alone, but after a while new people show up in your life that make your life so much sweeter and easier to endure.
Remember what your elders used to say, "Birds of a feather flock together.
If you're an eagle, don't hang around chickens: Chickens Can't Fly!
