Some things to think about

A Birth Certificate shows that we were born.
A Death Certificate shows that we died.
Pictures show that we lived!

Have a seat . . . Relax . . . And read this slowly....


Just because two people argue, doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue, doesn't mean they do love each other.

We don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

No matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while,
and you must forgive them for that.

True friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.

You can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

It takes a long time to become the person You want to be.

You should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

You can keep going long after you think you can't.

We are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

Either you control your attitude or it controls you.

Heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

Money is a lousy way of keeping score.

Best friends can do anything, or nothing, and have the best time.

Sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

Sometimes when you’re angry You have the right to be angry,
but that doesn't give you the right to be cruel.

Maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had,
and what you've learned from them.....and less to do with how many
birthdays you've celebrated.

It isn't always enough to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

No matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are,
but we are responsible for who we become.

You shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret.
It could change your life Forever.

Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

Your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.

Even when you think you have no more to give, if a friend cries out to you.......you will find the strength to help.

Credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

People you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.



I Believe...
That you should send this to all of the people that you believe in. I just did.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the most of everything…

Thank you God for all the wonderful people who help us throughout the journey of life..
May Angels guard you and guide you.

4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and
parents will. Stay in touch.

Friends are the family that we choose for ourselves.
