Good Day! How are you doing? I hope that you well and oh so good. Just a reminder that today in fact is the 14th of August 2008 we exactly two weeks in to the not so new month…I must say I’m feeling the change in weather it’s springish weather that what I like to call it…Today of course means is the Thursday Edition of the Morning Cruise…Is it just be but this week went so so fast, I don’t know what it is tho, but you know what they say time flies when you having fun…So have you ever had a really really bad day you know those days that where everything just seems not to be going your way…well if that sounds a little familiar to you because it sure does to me I came across an interesting website yesterday and some said that they prefer food, baking and even calling a good friend…that cheers some but all I’m going to say is don’t worry or maybe I should just say relax because the best cure other than the morning cruise between 9 and 12 is of course to smile…

Tip of the Day:

So I’ve got your tips on how to be make more friends… Making new friends and broadening your friendship circle can be just a little daunting…I remember when I went to high school I didn’t know anyone and had to instantly make new friends… We all know that being the new one in a group of people can be especially difficult, but hopefully these useful tips will help the next time you meet new people…

1. Spend more time around people - If you want to make friends, you first need to put yourself out there somehow. Friends don't come knocking on your door while you sit at home watching TV. If the people you're already around (e.g. at work or school) aren't friend material for whatever reasons, it's not the end of the world.

2. Talk to people - You can join a club, go to school, or go to church, and you still won't make friends if you don't actually talk to people. By the same token, you don't have to be involved with an organization to talk to people, and any time you talk to someone, you have a chance at making a lasting friend. You can talk to anybody the clerk at the video store, the person sitting next to you on the bus or the person in front of you on the lunch line.

3. Initiate a get-together - You can chat your heart out but it won't get you far if you don't open up the opportunity for another meeting. This is especially important if you meet someone who you aren't otherwise likely to meet again. Seize the day!

4. Be a good friend - Once you've started spending time with potential friends, remember to do your part (i.e. initiating activities, remembering birthdays, asking how the other person is feeling) or else the friendship will become unbalanced and resentment is likely to arise.

5. Choose your friends wisely - As you befriend more people, you might find that some are easier to get along with than others. While you should always give people the benefit of the doubt, sometimes you realize that certain friendships are unhealthy, such as if the person is obsessively needy towards you, or constantly critical, or introducing dangers or threats into your life.

Quote of the Day:

Anthony Robbins - It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped

It’s time for me to love and leave you. You must have oh so super Thursday and relaxing weekend. Let’s chat again tomorrow…Much Love…Peace.
