"A girl asked a guy if he thought she was pretty, he said...no.
She asked him if he would want to be with her forever ..and he said no.
She then asked him if she were to leave would he cry, and once again
he replied with a no.
She had heard enough. As she walked away, tears streaming down her face the boy grabbed her arm and said...
You're not pretty you're beautiful.
I don't want to be with you forever, I NEED to be with you forever.
And I wouldn't cry if you walked away...I'd die...

Meanwhile, her mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she would like a snack, and the daughter says, "Absolutely Mom, I love your cake." "Here, have some cooking oil," her Mother offers.

To which the mother replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake!

"Here are some truly inspiration quotes from Joe Pilates
"Not only is health a normal condition, but it is our duty not only to attain it but to maintain it".
"Rome was not built in a day" and patience and persistance are vital qualities in the ultimate success of any endeavor.
When all your muscles are properly developed, you will perform your work with minmum effort and maximum pleasure.
As small bricks are used to build large buildings, so will the development of small muscles help to develop large ones.
Pilates is "the attainment and maintainence of a uniformly developed body with a sound mind, fully capable of naturally performing our many daily tasks with spontaneous zest and pleasure.""
- Joe Pilates
