A Romantic Situation !!!

I got the call from my Project manager. Yes..!!!, Of course it was my onsite opportunity for Germany that was knocking my door.

"It’s for a period of six months tentatively" said my boss."I will send you a mail kindly refer to that and come meet me".
"Sure done", I replied happily with all my anxiety to see the mail.
As I was riding through the entire mail, was happy about all the checkpoints, "My location", "My job assigned", "My living place".
I had a broader smile to summarize, "this is perfectly what I was expecting!”
All of a sudden something crashed me, it was the date. It read, "Feb.16 2010". To my first shock it was just a week away.
When I was thinking how to manage the entire arrangement within a week, the second shock stroked me.
It was the date again, "Feb. 16 2010". It was my SweetHeart's entry on earth. Yes..., it was the birth date of my wife.
I got married to her five months back. Yes..!!!! "Ours was a love come arranged."
She was the best thing tat had ever happened to me and she Understands me well at all times. I patted and said to myself,
“Come on she was quite practical she will know your situation". I reached home late a little late than usual that night.
I had brought chocolates and sweets for my family to share the happy news. My Mom was happy to hear at that and so did the entire family, except for my only love.
I don't know how to convince her. I just started with, "I have already told you this might happen, even before we married".
She wept, "You never said that this would happen before we loved". And she continued "I can't be normal without you".
I tried to convince her, "It’s just a matter of Three months bubbly, I will be back soon". I took an hour for me to convince her. That day in our bed room, she asked me the date of my journey. I realized that I had missed to say the most danger part of the News.
It replied tentatively, "It’s on Feb. 16 2010". The day ended where she went and slept with my mom, which she normally does when she is angry with me and my mom never asks a word about that.

I was busy the entire week preparing for the journey in morning and convincing my wife in the evening.

She wailed to me, "You lied. You said u will never leave me. But not even 6 months are over and already u r going away".
I had no words for so i maintained my silence. On the day before my journey, I returned home very late.
I had already called her at twelve to wish her, "Happy birthday!”


I got home at 1:00 am with chocolates and flower bouquets which she received with a smile that killed me and said formal thanks.
I said, "I am really sorry Honey and I really mean it".
She hugged me tighty and slept with her arms around me. I knew she was hurting like hell .There was nothing i could say tat could convince her.

"FEB 16 2010", the day on which I hoped that everything should go fine and the day my wife wished never to come. We had a cake cutting ceremony for her in the evening, she accepted every ones wish and Gift very normally. She didn't want to spoil others mood for her own feelings.
I had my flight at 11.00 pm, we arrived two hours before the departure .Even my in laws had arrived to send me OFF.
Exactly an hour before, I could check in. I called my wife who was crying hugging her mom.
"Pls take care, use my laptop for mail and video chat". She wept and said, "Hmmmm...I love you and will Miss you".
I presented an envelope as my gift for her bday and said, "Open It."
She had poured happiness and joy .She couldn't believe her own eyes. Yess...! "It’s her ticket to fly with me to Germany".
It’s my turn I said, "I told u I won’t leave without u. happy birthday bubbly." She hugged me with love and we had a roll of kiss.
We had a ring of claps around us in the airport. Every family member knew about my surprise except her.

All my arrangements i had been doing for the past week was just for her, not for me.

Build wisely!

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. He would get by.


The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end a dedicated career.

When the carpenter finished his work, the employer came to inspect the house. He handed the front door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you." The carpenter was shocked! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.

So it is with us. We build our lives a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the building. Then, with a shock, we realize we have to live in the house we have built. If we could do it over, we'd do it much differently. But we cannot go back. You are the carpenter. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, erect a wall. "Life is a do-it-yourself project," someone has said. Your attitude and the choices you make today build the "house" you live in tomorrow.


Build wisely!

Don't we all...

I was parked in front of the mall wiping off my car. I had just come from the car wash and was waiting for my wife to get out of work. Coming my way from across the parking lot was what society would consider a bum. From the looks of him, he had no car, no home, no clean clothes, and no money. There are times when you feel generous but there are other times that you just don't want to be bothered. This was one of those "don't want to be bothered times." "I hope he doesn't ask me for any money," I thought. He didn't.


He came and sat on the curb in front of the bus stop but he didn't look like he could have enough money to even ride the bus. After a few minutes he spoke. "That's a very pretty car," he said. He was ragged but he had an air of dignity around him. His scraggly blond beard keeps more than his face warm. I said, "thanks," and continued wiping off my car.
He sat there quietly as I worked. The expected plea for money never came. As the silence between us widened something inside said, "ask him if he needs any help." I was sure that he would say "yes" but I held true to the inner voice. "Do you need any help?" I asked. He answered in three simple but profound words that I shall never forget. We often look for wisdom in great men and women. We expect it from those of higher learning and accomplishments. I expected nothing but an outstretched grimy hand. He spoke the three words that shook me. "Don't we all?" he said.

I was feeling high and mighty, successful and important, above a bum in the street, until those three words hit me like a twelve gauge shotgun. Don't we all?
I needed help. Maybe not for bus fare or a place to sleep, but I needed help. I reached in my wallet and gave him not only enough for bus fare, but enough to get a warm meal and shelter for the day. Those three little words still ring true. No matter how much you have, no matter how much you have accomplished, you need help too. No matter how little you have, no matter how loaded you are with problems, even without money or a place to sleep, you can give help. Even if it's just a compliment, you can give that. You never know when you may see someone that appears to have it all. They are waiting on you to give them what they don't have. A different perspective on life, a glimpse at something beautiful, a respite from daily chaos, that only you through a torn world can see. Maybe the man was just a homeless stranger wandering the streets. Maybe he was more than that. Maybe he was sent by a power that is great and wise, to minister to a soul too comfortable in themselves. Maybe God looked down, called an Angel, dressed him like a bum, then said, "go minister to that man cleaning the car, that man needs help." Don't we all?

Have an incredible day and implausible week ahead.

A date with a woman

After 21 years of Marriage, my Wife wanted me to take another Woman out to Dinner and a Movie.

        She said I Love You but I know this other Woman loves you and would Love to spend some Time with You.


        The other Woman that my Wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a Widow for 19 years, but the demands of my Work and my three Children had
           made it possible to visit her only occasionally.


        That night I called to Invite her to go out for Dinner and a Movie.


        'What's wrong, are you well,' she asked?

        My Mother is the type of Woman who suspects that a Late Night Call or a Surprise Invitation is a sign of Bad News.


        'I thought that it would be pleasant to be with you,' I responded.

        'Just the two of us.'


        She thought about it for a moment, and then said, 'I would like that very much.'


        That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous.
        When I arrived at her House, I noticed that she too seemed to be Nervous about our Date.

        She waited in the Door with her Coat on.

        She had curled her Hair and was wearing the Dress that she had worn to celebrate her last Wedding Anniversary.


        She smiled from a face that was as Radiant as an Angel's.


        'I told my Friends that I was going to go out with My Son, and they were impressed, 'she said, as she got into the Car.

        'They can't wait to hear about our meeting'.

        We went to a Restaurant that, although not Elegant, was very nice and cozy.

        My Mother took my Arm as if She were the First Lady.


        After we sat down, I had to read the Menu. Large Print.

        Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me.

        A Nostalgic Smile was on her Lips.

        'It was I who used to have to Read the Menu when you were Small,'

        She said.

        'Then it's Time that you Relax and let me Return the Favor,'

        I responded.


        During the Dinner, we had an Agreeable Conversation, nothing Extra-ordinary, but catching up on recent Events of each others Life.

        We talked so much that we missed the Movie.

        As we arrived at her House later,

        She said, 'I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.'

        I agreed.


        'How was your Dinner Date?' asked My Wife when I got Home.

        'Very Nice. Much more so than I could have Imagined,' I answered.


        A few days later, my Mother died of a Massive Heart Attack.

        It happened so suddenly that I didn't have Time to do anything for her.
        Some time later, I received an Envelope with a Copy of a Restaurant Receipt from the same place Mother and I had dined.


        An Attached Note Said:

        'I paid this Bill in Advance.

        I wasn't sure that I could be there;

        But nevertheless, I paid for Two Plates
                                One for You and the Other for Your Wife.

        You will never know what that Night meant for Me.


        I Love You,  My Son.'


        At that moment, I understood the Importance of saying in Time:
        'I LOVE YOU!'

        And to give our Loved Ones the Time that they deserve. Nothing in Life is more important than God and you’re Family.

        Give them the Time they Deserve, because these Things cannot be
        Put Off till 'Some Other Time.'

One Hell of a Headache

Steve had suffered from blinding headaches for many years, since his late teens. He decided to try one last time to remedy his situation, and went to see a headache specialist.

The doctor said, "Good news is I can cure your headaches.

The bad news is that it will require castration. You have a very rare condition, which causes your testicles to press up against the base of your spine and the pressure creates one hell of a headache.

The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles."

Steve was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for. He couldn't concentrate enough to answer, but decided he had no choice but to go under the knife.

When he left the hospital he was without a headache for the first time in 20 years, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself.

As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life. He saw a men's clothing store and thought, "That's what I need a new suit." Steve entered the shop and told the salesman, "I'd like a new suit."

The elderly tailor eyed him briefly and said, "Let's see ... size 44 long."

Steve' laughed, "That's right, how did you know?"

"Been in the business 60 years!"

Steve tried on the suit. It fit perfectly. As Steve admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about a new shirt?"

Steve thought for a moment and then said, "Sure."

The salesman eyed Steve and said, "Let's see .. 34 sleeve and 16 and a half neck."

Steve was surprised, "That's right, how did you know?"

"Been in the business 60 years!"

Steve tried on the shirt, and it fit perfectly. As Steve adjusted the collar in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about new shoes?"

Steve was on a roll and said, "Sure."

The salesman eyed Steve's feet and said, "Let's see... 9-1/2 E."

Steve was astonished, "That's right, how did you know?"

"Been in the business 60 years!"

Steve tried on the shoes and they fit perfectly. As Steve walked comfortably around the shop the salesman asked, "How about some new underwear?"

Steve thought for a second and said, "Sure."

The salesman stepped back, eyed Steve's waist and said, "Let's see size 36."

Steve laughed, "Ah ha! I got you! I've worn size 32 since I was 18 years old."

The salesman shook his head, "You can't wear a size 32. A 32 underwear would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache."
