Sometimes those annoying “forward now” e-mails come just when you need them.
Most of the time, I don’t read all of the “forward this e-mail to a million people or you will contract malaria in the next 5 minutes” notes that clog up our in-boxes. I have a hard time believing that my decision “to send or not to send” could somehow affect my life’s plan and destiny. I especially love the ones I get all the time from someone claiming to be a banker in Europe and they need my help to distribute a billion dollars. Or the fake alerts that ask for all of your personal information so they can fix your bank accounts. But I guess, as P.T. Barnum said, ”you can fool some of the people all of the time…..” or something like that.
Yet every so often, I see one that is good, and comes along when I need that specific inspiration. Here is one I got today that hit home with me:
There comes a point in your life when you realize:
Who matters, Who never did, Who won’t anymore and Who always will….
So don’t worry about people from your past, there’s a reason why they didn’t make it to your future.
Are there people in your life that really should not have made it to your future? Something to think about…….
Warmly,
Ellen Banks

How true your word are. I used to feel bad when I would get a forwarded e-mail that would tell me to pass on to 10 friends “or else”. I would feel bad that I didn’t have 10 friends to send it to, nor would I want to bother my friends with it. I took a look at the friends that I have and they are true friends, they are the ones that should be in my life. This a great blog, it’s positive and I can take what I need from it. Keep up the good work!
