A dear old lady was asked what she used to make her complexion so beautiful and her whole being so bright and attractive.

She answered:

"I use for my lips, truth

I use for my voice, kindness

I use for my ears, compassion

I use for my hands, charity

I use for my figure, uprightness

I use for my heart, love

I use for any who do not like me, prayer."

Very nice. I enjoyed that. Thank you Luba.

I'm just not that good of a person. I really wish I was. :?

Time Tested Beauty Tips

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.

Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

Heartwarming stuff indeed but I wonder how many people actually practice any of the above?

Fayebelle · 08-05-2008, 06:13 PM

I try. As I said- Audrey is my hero

Just out of curiosity, are you able to continue being kind and generous even if the target of your generosity is abusing it?

Personally I try to kill with kindness but there is most definitely a limit and then I'm a wall afterword (wish I wasn't).

Luba · 08-05-2008, 07:14 PM

I try to do those things but for the slim and hungry part!

Fayebelle · 08-05-2008, 07:15 PM

Teaching people to abuse others is not kindness. Enabling may FEEL like love but very rarely is.

Duke · 08-05-2008, 08:14 PM

I don't mean teaching others to abuse I was referring to people that take advantage of your kindness (or maybe this is what you meant?).

Fayebelle · 08-05-2008, 09:05 PM

That is abuse.

Indulgence in bad behavior is abuse IMHO

Allowing such things to occur is it's own form of abuse.

Not everyone will allow someone to walk over them- by not showing that to someone you care for you are setting them up for MAJOR set backs by not teaching them appreciation, problem solving, etc....

I used to allow this person in my life to walk all over me simply because I felt sorry for this person in the past and felt it may be their only form of self expression. It got ugly one day and I finally put my foot down (which only made the situation uglier).

After a few weeks this person did see the err of their ways and our relationship has been much improved since.

Of course I refuse to take crap at any level from this person now regardless of circumstances.

I hope it's not me!

I think a person is beautiful if they show their heart in their smile!
