A woman was waiting at an airport one night, with several long hours
before her flight. She hunted for a book in the airport shops, bought a
bag of cookies and found a place to drop.
She was engrossed in her book but happened to see, that the man
sitting beside her, as bold as could be. . .grabbed a cookie or two from
the bag in between, which she tried to ignore to avoid a scene.
So she munched the cookies and watched the clock, as the gutsy cookie
thief diminished her stock. She was getting more irritated as the
minutes ticked by, thinking, “If I wasn’t so nice, I would blacken his
eye.”
With each cookie she took, he took one too, when only one was left,
she wondered what he would do. With a smile on his face, and a nervous
laugh, he took the last cookie and broke it in half.
He offered her half, as he ate the other, she snatched it from him
and thought… oooh, brother. This guy has some nerve and he’s also rude,
why he didn’t even show any gratitude!
She had never known when she had been so galled, and sighed with
relief when her flight was called. She gathered her belongings and
headed to the gate, refusing to look back at the thieving ingrate.
She boarded the plane, and sank in her seat, then she sought her
book, which was almost complete. As she reached in her baggage, she
gasped with surprise, there was her bag of cookies, in front of her
eyes.
If mine are here, she moaned in despair, the others were his, and he
tried to share. Too late to apologize, she realized with grief, that she
was the rude one, the ingrate, the thief.

Sometimes, You Are The Trainer. by Mike Marino, Jr.
First grade gets you ready for
second grade and so on. Life is always getting you ready for the next
level. Every experience you have in life is getting you ready for the
next experience. Readiness is all.
Whatever you get yourself ready for, life will give you the opportunity to earn; it must be earned in order to be cherished.
If a robot should replace you, you may want to go back to school to learn how to make robots. Life whispers into the ear of the caterpillar, “You are now a butterfly!”
Everyone must evolve or dissolve. It is your choice.
Always know you are in the training on this planet. At every age, you are being trained for the next level; somewhere out there, beneath the pale moonlight, someone’s thinking of you and loving you tonight. Somewhere out there, someone’s saying a prayer for you to make it through the training.
Try to get some sleep, because tomorrow starts the training.
I’ve been married forty-five years and I am still in training.
Remember that every experience you have, it is just the training. Do not take yourself too seriously in the training. Take what you are doing in the training seriously because you are being watched to see if you are ready for the next level in the training.
Always with best intentions to keep you on the dance floor while in training,

Hospital window
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 th! e 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.”

Christina Perri - A Thousand Years
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Colors and promises

Greyson Chance – Sunshine and City Lights Lyrics
It’s taking us downtown,
You’re watching me, watching me, watching me go.
But I never listen,
No I never let you move.
Now we’re headed uptown,
Is their something that you wanted to say,
Cause I need to go now,
Do you want me to stay?
I said a stay-e-ay-e-ay-e-ay-ay-ay.
Mmm.
What you need, to know, is you tried, let it go, let it go.
What you need to find, is someone who will never let you go.
Noooo, and sunshine and city lights, will guide you home,
And noooo, yeah you gotta know, that I’ll never let you go.
Mmm.
Now we’re stuck in midtown,
Surrounded by people and nothing but sound,
And we’re going nowhere,
We are the lost and found.
We’re all over this town, is there something that you wanted to say?
Cause I need to go now, do you want me to stay?
I said a stay-e-ay-e-ay-e-ay-ay-ay.

Greyson Chance – Home Is In Your Eyes
[Verse 1]
My heart beats a little bit slower
These nights are a little bit colder
Now that you’re gone
My skies seem a little bit darker
Sweet dreams seem a little bit harder…
I hate when you’re gone.
Everyday time is passing
Growing tired of all this traffic
Take me away to where you are.
[Chorus]
I wanna be holding your hand
In the sand
By the the tire swing
Where we use to be
Baby you and me
I travel a thousand miles
Just so I can see you smile
Feels so far away when you cry
‘Cause home is in your eyes
[Verse 2]
Your heart beats a little bit faster
There’s tears where there use to be laughter…
Now that I’m gone…
You talk just a little bit softer
Things take a little bit longer.
You hate that I’m gone.
Everyday time is passing
Growing tired of all this traffic
Take me away to where you are.
[Chorus]
I wanna be holding your hand
In the sand
By the the tire swing
Where we use to be
Baby you and me
I travel a thousand miles
Just so I can see you smile
Feels so far away when you cry
‘Cause home is in your eyes
[Bridge]
If I could write another ending
This wouldn’t even be our song
I’d find a way where we would never ever be apart
Right from the start
[Chorus x2]
I wanna be holding your hand
In the sand
By the the tire swing
Where we use to be
Baby you and me
I travel a thousand miles
Just so I can see you smile
Feels so far away when you cry
‘Cause home is in your eyes
My heart beats a little bit slower
These nights are a little bit colder
Now that you’re gone
My skies seem a little bit darker
Sweet dreams seem a little bit harder…
I hate when you’re gone.
Everyday time is passing
Growing tired of all this traffic
Take me away to where you are.
[Chorus]
I wanna be holding your hand
In the sand
By the the tire swing
Where we use to be
Baby you and me
I travel a thousand miles
Just so I can see you smile
Feels so far away when you cry
‘Cause home is in your eyes
[Verse 2]
Your heart beats a little bit faster
There’s tears where there use to be laughter…
Now that I’m gone…
You talk just a little bit softer

Growing tired of all this traffic

Maddi Jane – Secrets Lyrics
i need another story
something to get off my chest
my life gets kinda boring
need something that i can confess
‘til all my sleeves are stained red
from all the truth that i’ve said
come by it honestly i swear
thought you saw me wink, no
i’ve been on the brink, so
ohh..
it’s amazing that we got this far
it’s like we’re chasing all those stars
who’s driving shiny big black cars
and everyday i see the news, all the problems that we could solve
and when a situation rises, just write it into an album
seen it straight to go
but i don’t really like my flow, no
so tell me what you want to hear
something that were like those years
i’m sick of all the insincere
so i’m gonna give all my secrets away
this time
don’t need another perfect line
don’t care if critics ever jump in line
so i’m gonna give all my secrets away
got no reason, got not shame
got no family i can blame
just don’t let me disappear
i’mma tell you everything
so tell me what you want to hear
something that were like those years
i’m sick of all the insincere
so i’m gonna give all my secrets away
this time
don’t need another perfect line
don’t care if critics jump in line
so i’m gonna give all my secrets away
woah woah
woah oh oh oh
all my secrets away
this time
don’t need another perfect line
don’t care if critics ever jump in line
so i’m gonna give all my secrets away
something to get off my chest
my life gets kinda boring
need something that i can confess
‘til all my sleeves are stained red
from all the truth that i’ve said
come by it honestly i swear
thought you saw me wink, no
