It’s strange to have a friend that you have never hugged, shook their hand or looked into their eyes, but you have been touched by their soul, seen the good in their hearts and felt the warmth of their being. The friends I have never met are not my friends untouched, for I have felt them with me when I needed them. I have confided in them, and they are some of the kindest people I have ever known. My friends, never forget just how special you are to me…..
I used to think that “friends” were the people that you could laugh and talk to. Now, I know that “friends" aren’t that. They’re the people that touch your hearts. They’re the people you can share your secrets with, cry with, laugh with and just have fun with. They don’t judge you or make you change. They accept you exactly as you are…..
The best love is the one that makes you a “better person,” without changing you into someone other than yourself…
The American Academy of pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that children make the transition to a general dentist once they turn 7. The pediatric dentist will be able to guide and advise parents on when it’s time for their child to switch, as every child develops differently. After age seven, it is typically safe to make the switch from pediatric to general dentist.
When Should Your Child Switch From A Pediatric Dentist To General Dentist?
In dentistry, when a young person approaches or reaches age 18, they usually transfer from a pediatric dentist to a general dentist who will continue to provide them with oral health care as adults in a new dental home. This process is called transition.
You say you love the rain, but you open your umbrella. You say you love the sun, but you find the shadow spot. You say you love the wind, but you close the windows. This is why I am afraid, you say that you love me too…
If you want something to last forever, you treat it differently. You shield it and protect it. You never abuse it. You don’t expose it to the elements. You don’t make it common or ordinary. If it ever becomes tarnished, you lovingly polish it until it gleams like new. It becomes special because you have made it so, and it grows more beautiful and precious as time goes by….
What is the difference between “I like you” and “I love you”? When you “like” a flower, you just pluck it; but when you “love” a flower, you water it daily: One who understands this, understands life…..
Do you know the difference between “loving someone” and “being in love?” No? Let me tell you. “Loving someone” is selfish. “Being in love” with someone is selfless. Let me explain. When you “love” someone, you don’t listen. You care more about your love for them and your happiness that you disregard what they want, their needs. When you are “in love”, their happiness is your happiness. You listen carefully to what they want and need and you give it to them, even if that means giving them up….
Some people are good at “being in love”. Some people are good at “love”. Two very different things. I think. “Being in love” is the romantic part - sex all the time, midday naps in the sheets, the jokes, the laughs, the fun, long conversation with no pauses, overwhelming separation anxiety… Just the best sides of both people, you know? But “love” begins when the excitement of being in love starts to fade; the stress of life sets in, the butterflies disappear, the sex becomes a chore, the tears, the sadness, the arguments, the cattiness… The worst parts of both people. But if you still want that person by your side through all of those things… that’s when you know - that’s when you know you’re good at love…..
They say love is blind. I disagree. Infatuation is blind. Love is all-seeing and accepting. Love is seeing all the flaws and blemishes and accepting them. Love is accepting the bad habits and mannerisms and working around them. Love is recognizing all the fears and insecurities and knowing your role is to comfort. Love is working through all the challenges and painful times. Infatuation is fragile and will shatter when life is not perfect. Love is strong and it strengthens because it is real….
