Off Topic A HAPPY STORY OF BLISS x 2

Merhaba Classy Classmates

I wanted to share a story with you a Bliss full one you could say TO BE TRUE.
A week ago as my little brother was leaving the store a little precious creature jumped on his shoe as if he was desperately frightened so lost, Anthony looked down at his shoe to see what/who it was there clinging for dear life& a shoe to him seemed to be the right thing to do. Anthony saw a newborn Squirrel hanging there, yes I swear to you. Alone and scared as who knows what happened to his mommy she may have abandoned him or was taken from him who knows what happened now he was all alone seeking food and a hero Anthony and his shoe. He is so precious to us and dependent on us as newborn babies are we all know this to be true he is to young to find his own food. A week later peanut butter is his favorite food spoon by spoon. He is a blessing addition to the family, a small package of fur he is a 1/4 the size of Anthony's shoe who would have thought this ever to be true Bliss has blessed our lives Blissfully for a week yesterday at Noon and many more we hope to share for, the first week was crucial and we hoped and prayed prayed he would pull through and he did and is a strong and healthy it's true a happy ending and addition to our family a gift so priceless and true in the future Of course we want to do what's best for him, there is no doubt what we want to do raise and keep him forever but only time will tell what is best for him so for now we'll love him unconditionally and true.

When it came time to name him it was the easiest to do as this little baby so precious and loving so true that brought BLISS into our lives this couldn't be more true so we named him Bliss that's right after BLISS that's right Emma Anna you!
You all know of whom I am referring to, she is a classy classmate to both me and you but more than that she is a friend forever & true!! Now I know you'll all agree Bliss is a blessing to both me and you, I am feeling extra special and a blessing and I am blessed with 2!!!!!!! Love You Bliss and all of the classy members and classmates of the Ultimate web site in the Universe and this is true! So I give special thanks to turkishclass.com as if not for this website I may have never knew Bliss our friend & now Squirrel makes 2
Thanks turkishclass.com!

Peace And Prayers to everyone,
Tsarevna Stacia
Kelley Cali

PS
BLISS(Emma Anna)these flowers are for you

Hello, Gipsy,
Yes, poem is really beautiful, and I also suggest you to open original E-card, using link

http://e-kart.mynet.com/view-upload/view-upload.asp?pa=preview&config=&next=custom&filename=ask_senisevdigimkadar%2Fask_senisevdigimkadar.jav&page=http%3A%2F%2Fe-kart.mynet.com%2Fview-upload%2F&field1=ask&field2=A%FEk&field3=4

About my trip to Antalya - first of all I have to tell you that I didn't see your boyfriend, so I couldn't tell him "HI" from you.Second, read my last reply on the Forum Traveling to Turkey - "Suggestions and advances wanted", there you have some of my impressions.Third, I hope you will very soon read something about my travel to Turkey, and see alot of very nice photos.
Antalya is beautiful city, with nice and friendly people. Wish you to visit sevgilin as soon as possible.

having seen that there are people who are interested in poetry. Ataol Behremoglu and Ahmet Arif are also great poets of Turkey. Especially find the poem " yasadiklarimdan ogrendigim bir sey var" by Behremoglu. That gives a description of life
Amhet Arif is very difficult to understand but if you once get the essence of his poems, you will realize how powerful his pen used to be. By the way, he passed away but Atoal Behremoglu is still alive.
For people who are interested in Turkish literature and contemparary authors I can recommend a faw names. Orhan Pamuk, Yasar Kemal, Aziz Nesin and Asim Bezerci are a few of great authors of present in Turkey.

There's something I have learned from what I've lived

There's something I have learned from what I've lived:
lf you're to live something, live it to its fullest
Your beloved should fall exhausted from your kisses
You should fall exhausted from smelling a flower

One can watch the sky for hours
Can for hours watch the sea, a bird, a child
To live on earth is to mingle with it
Growing roots that cannot be eradicated

When you hug a friend you should hug him vigorously
You should fight with all your muscles, body, passion
And once you stretch out on the hot sand
You should rest like a grain of sand, a leaf, a stone

One should listen to all the beautiful music on earth
So as to fill all his being with sounds and songs
One should dive into life as if
Diving from a rock into an emerald sea

Distant lands should lure you, people you do not know
You should burn with desire to read all the books, to know all the lives
You should not exchange for anything the pleasure of drinking a glass of water
All the joys should fill you with the yearning to live

And you should live grief also, with honor, with all your being
For grief also, like joy, matures a person
Your blood should mingle with the great circulation of life
In your veins must circulate the eternal fresh blood of life

There is something I have learned from what I've lived:
If you're to live, live big, as if you are mingling with the rivers, the sky, the whole universe
For what we call a life span is a gift to life
And life is a gift to mankind

Konat, thank you for 'What I have learned from Life' - it is beautiful. I also followed the link for this poets work on Love and this is also worth reading, but for me the 'Life' poem is, I think, a wonderful philosophy for a good life.

Again thank you.

Yes, Sibel, me too.I think you are right, maybe because it was familiar already and we read Admin's translation first but I think not only because of that. I think Admin used more poetic words(Lover instead of beloved and so on).
Thank you , Konat for the link.I tried already, it is great.Poetry lovers, try it, you are not gonna be disappointed.Good luck to all.
