GRACIAS POR HACERME PARTE DE TU GRAN TESORO DE AMIGOS!!! (: EL PLACER ES INMENSO!!! AQUI TE DEJO UN PENSAMIENTO PARA QUE LO DISFRUTES!!!
CADA DIA QUE VIVES!... Es una ocasión especial!!!... Por eso!... Siéntate en la terraza y admira la vista sin fijarte únicamente en las malas hierbas... Pasa más tiempo con tu familia y amigos y menos tiempo trabajando.... La vida es una sucesión de experiencias para disfrutar no para sobrevivir... Usa tus copas de cristal... Ponte tu nueva ropa para ir al supermercado. No guardes tu mejor perfume para esa fiesta especial... Usalo cada vez que te den ganas de hacerlo... Las frases "algún día"... o "Uno de estos días" Quítalas de tu vocabulario!... Mi amigo/a... Creeme!!! Si vale la pena hacerlo, oírlo, verlo, Debes poder disfrutarlo ahora!!!... Si supiéramos el tiempo que nos queda de vida... Seguramente!!!... Desearíamos estar con nuestros seres queridos... iríamos a comer nuestra comida preferida... visitaríamos los sitios que amamos!!! Te aseguro!!!... que son pequeñas las cosas que nos harían enojar si supiéramos que nuestras horas están contadas... Si ese fuera el caso!... Sabes realmente porque nos enojariamos???... Seguro por haber dejado de ver a nuestros mejores amigos... Por no haber escrito aquellas cartas que pensábamos escribir y no lo hicimos!... pensando... "Uno de estos días lo hago"... es muy posible que estariamos enojados y tristes porque no dijimos a nuestros padres, hermanos, hijos, sobrinos, amigos, cuánto los queremos!!!... Por eso!!!... No intentes retardar o detener o guardar nada que agregaría risa y alegría a tu vida... No cometas ese error!!!... Cada día, cada hora, cada minuto, cada semana es especial!!!... Ten siempre eso presente!!!... No dejes para mañana lo que hoy puede ser una bendicion para ti!!!...En mi tienes un amigo!!!... (: En Dios tienes al mejor de todos!!! Un abrazo!!! Saul.
Silent Dew Drops Radiate The Silver Linings Of Lunar Her Aura Brings Tranquility And Eliminates All War I Am Moved By Her Divinity Just Like The Morning Star My Cosmic Dust Absorbs Her Cosmic Lust Sensual Fantasies Arise Within My Infinity What Would It Be Like To Make Love To The Moon? To Caress Her Light While Alone In My Room? I Sorround Myself With Gemstones I Leave My Body And Roam There She Is Before Me Majestic In All Her Glory I Am Moved By Her Atmospheric Pressure Intuned With This Celestial Treasure She Borrows Light From RA To Grace My Structure I Return To The Flesh Blessed All Negative Plundered She Leaves With The Flashing Of Lightning And The Rolling Of Thunders Endless Blessings Showing Some 5th Dimensional Love
