【正文】 seemed as though my car knew where to take me, because the drive was effortless. I ended up along the narrow road adjacent to the river. It was one of the roads I had driven daily as a teen. I hadn’t been on this road for years. My life now, as an adult, was too busy to take time out for joy rides. I had deadlines to meet, PTA meetings to attend, bills to pay and a husband to pacify.I smiled as I drove past the places that I’d spent so many evenings, parked with friends along this road. I had lost touch with some precious memories, but they seemed to be flooding back, filling my heart. I pulled over underneath a familiar gnarled tree and got out. The wind had started blowing and I could smell the ining rain. Pushing my hair out of my eyes, I ran to the tree and searched the trunk. It didn’t take long for me to find what I was looking for. Julie and Danny, True Love Always. Time and weather had faded the words, but they were still there. Tears came to my eyes as I traced the words lovingly with my fingers. This was Danny’s favorite spot. I turned and walked toward the river and my tears seemed to act as a cue for the rain to start falling.I sat on a rock, eyes closed, listening to the sound of the raindrops meeting the river. I felt his hands cup my cheek and his lips gently touch mine. His scent was mixed with the smell of the fresh rain and I could feel his warmth next to me. I didn’t dare open my eyes, instead, I slid my arms around his neck and kissed him the way I’d kissed him two decades ago. Tears slid down my cheeks as we embraced. I had spent years trying to forget how his arms felt around me, and here they were again, stronger than ever. I could feel the need in him and I wondered if he knew how badly I needed him, too.The rain was ing down in torrents now, but it didn’t matter. I could feel his warm breath against my skin as he kissed my neck. I ran my hands over his strong chest, and through his blonde hair. Even soaking wet, I remembered the feel of it, the feel of him.A loud clap of thunder forced me to open my eyes and I realized that I was alone with my memories.The accident hadn’t happened far from here. The road winds along the river and the girl driving Danny’s car that night wasn’t the first to miss the hairpin turn. The car rolled and the driver’s side was crushed. They said the driver died instantly, but Danny held on for a few hours. Those few hours seemed like an eternity. He had been so young, and I hadn’t known how to say goodbye.For 20 years I’ve tried to replace the memories of that night with memories of better ones, memories of his smile, his kiss and of the wonderful person that I had e to love. I closed my eyes again and remembered Danny introducing me to his friends as “the one”. I wondered what my life might have been like had Danny not died that night, so many years ago. Would I really have been “the one”?As I got up to leave, I felt a warmth enveloping me. I blew a kiss to that old gnarled tree as I climbed, soaking wet, into my car and began my journey home.Thank you, Danny. You were always there when I needed you.1.

If you regularly find yourself in a cold corner on your office floor, here are tips that you can use to win friends and make office buddies for life. Bring something for everyone in your office every once in a while Whether it is a bag of lollies, biscuits, Tim Tams or a box of doughnuts from Dunkin’ Donuts, it would be nice if you brought your office colleagues a little something every now and then. Food is a surefire way of letting your office mates know that you are putting in a genuine effort to be friends with them and that you care about them. And best of all, if you consider yourself an amateur baker, why not bake a lot of your best brownies or cookies for your friends at work? Sympathize with your colleagues at work Everyone at work has their own share of problems. There are really no exceptions. If you want to make friends at work, you must learn to sympathize with fellow colleagues and help them out in whichever way you can. For example, if your colleague is going through a rough patch with her husband and her marriage is on the rocks, don’t hesitate to ask if you can temporarily help her out by picking up some of her daily tasks. Genuine sympathy never goes unnoticed and a work place is no different. Work for your team, not for yourself While it is easy to get carried away and think about your own benefit all the time, you should remember that your progress at work lies in the progress of your teammates and vice versa. If you go out of the way to help your colleagues at work, they will hopefully reciprocate by crediting you with their success.

That’s exactly why you should make an attempt to go for lunch with the people who you want to be friends with at work. A chat over lunch will not only allow you to be better friends with your workmates, but will also provide a window of opportunity for you to catch up on all the latest gossip at work.
