Subject: [RecipesAndMore] The power of 3 little words
Hi all,
I recieved this from a friend, and I wanted to share, and let you all know
that all of you are so dear to my heart, and even though we are far apart,
please know that I am here...

3 Little Words
The following three word phrases can enrich every relationship:
I'LL BE THERE - Being there for another person is the greatest gift we can
give. When we are truly present for other people, important things happen to
them and to us. We are renewed in love and friendship. We are restored
emotionally and spiritually. 'Being there' is at the very, very core of
civility.
I MISS YOU - Perhaps more marriages could be salvaged and strengthened if
couples simply and sincerely said to each other, "I miss you." This powerful
affirmation
tells partners they are wanted, needed, desired and loved.
I RESPECT YOU - Respect is another way of showing love. Respect conveys the
feeling that another person is a true equal. It is a powerful way to affirm
the importance of a relationship.
MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT - This phrase is highly effective in diffusing an argument
and restoring frayed emotions. The flip side of "maybe you're right" is the
humility of admitting "maybe I'm wrong."
PLEASE FORGIVE ME - Many broken relationships could be restored and healed if
people would admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness. All of us are
vulnerable
to faults, foibles and failures. A man should never be ashamed to own up to
he has been in the wrong, which is by saying, in other words, that he is wiser
today than he was yesterday.
I THANK YOU - Gratitude is an exquisite form of courtesy. People who enjoy
the companionship of good, close friends are those who don't take daily
courtesies
for granted. They are quick to thank their friends for their many expressions
of kindness. On the other hand, people whose circle of friends is severely
constricted often do not have the a ttitude of gratitude.
COUNT ON ME - "A friend is one who walks in when others walk out." "Loyalty
is an essential ingredient for true friendship; it is the emotional glue that
bonds people. Those who are rich in their relationships tend to be steady and
true friends. When troubles come, a good friend is there, indicating "you
can count on me."
LET ME HELP - The best of friends see a need and try to fill it. When they
spot a hurt they do what they can to heal it. Without being asked, they pitch
in and help.
I UNDERSTAND YOU - People become closer and enjoy each other more if they
feel the other person accepts and understands them. Letting others know in so
many little ways that you understand him or her is one of the most powerful
tools for healing your relationship.
GO FOR IT - Some of your friends may be non-conformists, have unique projects
and unusual hobbies. Support them in pursuing their interests. Rather than
urging your loved ones to conform, encourage their uniqueness - everyone has
dreams that no one else has.
I suppose the 3 little words that you were expecting to see have to be
reserved for those who are special; that is
I LOVE YOU.
