A teacher of mine is gonna retire. I told her a lot and learned a lot of advices from her, etc. She also knows that I do poetry writing. So I wanna give a poem to her. For her retirement,

1. Should I write the poem on a piece of paper or something? Give some ideas since it’s for her retirement, it’s gotta be something special. I have no idea about decoration or making a nice gift.

2. Do you think I should make a new poem or choose one of my really nice poems below? Seriously, I made them. It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe me but I know the truth and I know myself, my heart.

My Dream

Blue
Skies high
Above us
Inspired my heart
To roam through the seas
Above the azure skies
As free as the birds I’ve seen
Flying towards a place I dream
While the winds brushing off the worries
So I will fly to where all our dreams lie
Within our hearts, where hopes are held up high
Towards the light will someday be true
Letting my heart embraces all
There is to be in this world
Weaving all of our tales
Within I treasure
Everything
I will feel
Till the
End.

Looking Up

Looking up towards the sky,
Where birds spread their wings and fly.
I wonder how would the future be?
Once a brighter future is set free?

Moments drifting in my mind,
With the past I left behind.
Believe in the distant future,
As I will be my best from here.

Where I believe and I wonder,
Where I will smile and I wander.
Cerulean skies, thousand smiles,
The light of the future shines.

Their Wings

The birds that fly freely in the sky,
The birds that have no worries over their wings;
From time to time, they’ll fly through their sky,
Spread their wings, cherish their freedom.

Their eyes watch over the world,
Their wings spread through the seas,
Facing, flying over the mystical land
Without the surging hourglass.

They fly, embrace their freedom
Over limitless time, in this verse,
They see; they soar high in the air
Over and over the cerulean sky.

Time Moves Slowly Today

The sun rises on a morning;
Slowly I rise, from eyes sleeping.
The light illuminates the day,
I see that time moves slowly today.

Walking along the road I see
Everyone as they feel free.
Under the sun’s bright shining ray,
I see that time moves slowly today.

White clouds drifting apart
Beneath the sky looks like a heart.
As time passes, kids come and play;
I see that time moves slowly today.

The evening sun setting down;
I just gaze and wave, here from town.
As the night starts to make its way,
I see that time moves slowly today.

Walking back, as I keep walking;
Everyone would be talking.
They have fun, weariness away,
I see that time moves slowly today.

Sparkling stars of the sky tonight
Guided by wonders of moonlight,
I am dazzled, too much to say;
I see that time moves slowly today.

Closing my eyes not all too soon;
Watching the night view of the moon.
Serenity, down as I lay,
I see that time moves slowly today.

Smile (11:30p.m. 18/12/2009)

Smile, when you mean it
As an awkward smile shows
That you are unhappy
With your own life

Smile, whenever you want to
Show your happiness
Towards your own life
Because it is what you feel

Smile, before you leave here
As others would always
Want to see you again
Because of that smile

To My Life (21/6/2010)

As I sing from my heart to you,
I feel my dreams becoming true.
I wish this time would last for days.
To my life, thank you as always.

When I keep holding to my might,
I would know things will be alright.
Future comes in wonderful ways.
To my life, thank you as always.

There is a meaning towards life
That’s why I continue to thrive.
Within my hands, shining light rays.
To my life, thank you as always.

As I sing from my heart to you,
To my life, thank you as always.

To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I’ve ever written. My odometer rolls over to 50 this week, so here’s an update:

1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

4. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.

8. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

11. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.

12. It’s OK to let your children see you cry.

13. Don’t compare your life to others’. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.

15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don’t worry; God never blinks.

16. Life is too short for long pity parties. Get busy living, or get busy dying.

17. You can get through anything if you stay put in today.

18. A writer writes. If you want to be a writer, write.

19. It’s never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.

20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.

21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.

23. Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.

24. The most important sex organ is the brain.

25. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: "In five years, will this matter?"

27. Always choose life.

28. Forgive everyone everything.

29. What other people think of you is none of your business.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.

31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

32. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

33. Believe in miracles.

34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.

35. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.

36. Growing old beats the alternative — dying young.

37. Your children get only one childhood. Make it memorable.

38. Read the Psalms. They cover every human emotion.

39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.

41. Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

42. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.

43. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

44. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

45. The best is yet to come.

46. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

47. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

48. If you don’t ask, you don’t get.

49. Yield.

50. Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.

"A REAL FRIEND IS ONE WHO WALKS IN WHENTHE REST OF THE WORLD WALKS OUT" –
Have a Nice Day

I received my degree ten years ago. I have never worked in the field. The past three years, I have worked for a small private school as a teacher and administrator I owned and taught at a defunct christian school for a year. The economy took a toll on it and the school closed. I have not received my transcripts because the college I attended won’t release them. I do not have the money for an attorney to prove I do not owe them ,500 dollars. I do not know where to turn. I thought of going back to college but with no transcripts I would have to start fresh. What would I go to school for? I love design, architecture, health, fitness and kids. I absolutely don’t want to be a nurse or do any thing like that. I do however need to work in a secure field, something with a demand. If that’s possible in this day and age. I would love architecture but that field is saturated. I also try not to dwell on my age being a hindrance. I am in great physical shape. My health is excellent and I don’t look my age but I do have to face I have no retirement, nothing to fall back on. My husband is a police officer making ,00 a year. He takes care of the insurance and has retirement. I still have a bright son that’s seventeen ( senior) who lives at home . I have to think of him also. I need to be able to help him with college. If any one has any ideas or has been or knows someone who has been down this road themselves I would appreciate your input. I have to be able to contribute to my family. I also want to use the gifts and talents I have been blessed with
Thank you in advance and God bless!!!!!!!1

For the past 4-5 months I have had a long term sub for my U.S. History class, who came out of retirement and flew all the way from Tennessee to California just to teach my class. My class is kind of mean to him, and take advantage over the fact that he is a sub and have done some very mean things to him that may have hurt him (like tripping him and then laughing) He is a very good teacher though and he is leaving this Friday, and I really would like to get him something nice to show my appreciation. He is in his late 60’s, and i’m at lost as to what to get him, that wont be overly expensive (i’m trying to stay at or less) Any suggestions would be appreciated.
