Deixo-te meu abraço, minha amiga, e meus cumprimentos pelo Dia de Portugal! Bom feriado. Mudam-se os tempos, mudam-se as vontades Mudam-se os tempos, mudam-se as vontades, Muda-se o ser, muda-se a confiança; Todo o mundo é composto de mudança, Tomando sempre novas qualidades. Continuamente vemos novidades, Diferentes em tudo da esperança; Do mal ficam as mágoas na lembrança, E do bem, se algum houve, as saudades. O tempo cobre o chão de verde manto, Que já coberto foi de neve fria, E em mim converte em choro o doce canto. E, afora este mudar-se cada dia, Outra mudança faz de mor espanto: Que não se muda já como soía. Luís de Camões

 Minha querida amiga Isabel, trago-te meu abraço e meus votos de um fim de semana perfeito! Leninha

 Olá, minha amiga! Passei para lhe desejar um excelente final de semana - para você e os seus queridos. Receba meu sincero e fraternal abraço. Leninha (ALPHA)

The Road Less Traveled

by Kit McCallum

How often we must bear the challenges of life

The endless roller coaster between happiness and sorrow;

The constant ups and downs of daily strife.

And always the question remains .... why?

Life is not an easy road for most;

It twists and turns with many forks in the road,

Although always, and inevitably, we are given a choice ...

Do we turn to the right ... or the left?

Do we take the high road ... or the low road?

Do we take the easy path ... or the difficult one?

Decisions are not easy for those struggling for direction ...

And sometimes the many choices and signs become overwhelming.

While standing at a crossroads in life,

The urge is to take the most comfortable path;

The road with least resistance ...

The shortest or most traveled route.

And yet, if we've been down that comfortable road before;

Have gleaned its lessons in life, and learned from our experiences;

Do we yet again follow the known?

Or does our destiny lie in another direction?

The fear of the road less traveled is tangible and all too real;

It manifests itself in many ways,

And tends to cloud the issues that might otherwise be clear.

It is in these times of confusion,

That we must seek peace and solitude;

Time to contemplate on our life,

Our experiences and our choices past;

Time to look back, and reflect on what we have learned

Without fear or confusion.

For only each of us knows our own personal thoughts;

Our unique past and personal history;

The experiences that brought us to the crossroads we now face.

We can always learn a small degree from others experiences,

And yet ... no one person can walk in our shoes,

Others know not, the trials and tribulations faced in private ...

For each is individual ... unique ... and personal.

And that is why ... while standing at a crossroads,

Only "we" can formulate the decision for ourselves;

The true direction that lies within;

The choices we must deliberate on with clarity and wisdom.

For it is only through personal reflection,

That we can now choose our destiny;

... Our next adventure;

... And the future we will embrace.

 

     

Enjoy your week.

Kind regards,

A. & J.

Dear friende,

Peaceful and a happy night i wish.

Yours affeectionetely..Ali

This earth will grow cold

a star among stars
and one of the smallest
a gilded mote on blue velvet-
I mean this our great earth.
This earth will grow cold one day
not like a block of ice
or a dead cloud even
but like an empty walnut it will roll along
in pitch-black space ...
You must grieve for this right now
-you have to feel this sorrow now-
for the world must be loved this much
if you're going to say ``I lived'' ...

 

 

  İyi akşamlar, huzurlu bir gece diliyorum

 Değerli arkadaşım..

 

Wishing You A Wonderfull Day

-Teira-

 Deixo-te um carinhoso abraço, minha querida amiga Isabel! Saudades.
