"Kindness leads to radical life-change"0

"I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship."
Louisa May Alcott0 -
For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life.
But there was always some obstacle in the way.
Something to be got through first, some unfinished business,
time still to be served, a debt to be paid.
Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.
~Fr. Alfred D'Souza0 -
Fear not that life shall come to an end, but rather fear that it shall never have a beginning. ~John Henry Cardinal Newman0

A ROOM IN MY HEART (Faith Hill)
My heart was once just like a home
With many rooms and open doors
And I always let love in
It would change the rooms around and then
Leave them empty
'Til one by one I locked each door
And soon forgot what love was for
But I never gave up hopin'
So I left just one door open
In case you found me
So there's a room in my heart for you
If your trust has been stolen too
If you walk softly on this worn out wooden floor
And leave behind you the hurt you've had before
There's a room in my heart for you
We'll paint the walls from blue to white
And set the mood by candlelight
Together we'll keep out the cold
And I'll still be there when we're old
If you'll let me
So there's a room in my heart for you
If your trust has been stolen too
If you walk softly on this worn out wooden floor
And leave behind you the hurt you've had before
There's a room in my heart for you0 -
Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets So love the people who treat you right,
forget the ones who don't,
and believe that everything
happens for a reason.
If you get a change, take it;
If it changes your life, let it,
Nobody said it would be easy,
They just said it would be worth it.0 -
Never let the fear of failure be an excuse for not trying.
Society tells us that to fail is the most terrible thing in the world, but I know it isn't.
Failure is part of what makes us human. :happy:

IT'S NOT WHAT YOU GATHER, BUT WHAT YOU SCATTER
THAT TELLS WHAT KIND OF LIFE YOU HAVE LIVED0 -
This is one I've always found very powerful....and one I've always cherished
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support,
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
This one touched me deeply today. Good words for anyone who has lost someone dear.
Thanks fitness chick.. janiebeth
This is exactly what i needed- i'm going through the stage of still trying to adjust to live without two friends i lost for the reason - them walking away or me .. sending them away i don't really know which one it is.. but.. this is so true.. .. i don't know yet how this all will work out.. i'm proud and have my " pride " don't want to run after anyone.. but i'm hurt on the other side, disappointed .. angry.. and than again sad and allone and I was scared to admit this last part because it's easier not to think about it ..
i don 't want to run after anyone .. i just have to learn to live with it

WOW..this one is powerful!! As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down
probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt
because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.0 -

"I just don't understand how someone can completely abandon hope. I woke up everyday for 40 years with hope that something good would happen to me that day. For 40 years, nothing good happened to me. And then one day, something did happen and it made every second of those 40 years worth it."

She changed my life. I wish she could see me now.0 -

Answer a fool in his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes-- Proverbs 26:5
Do not answer a fool in his folly, or you will be like him yourself-- Proverbs 26:4
Do not give what is holy to dogs or throw your pearls before pigs; otherwise they will trample them under their feet and turn around and tear you to pieces. Matthew 7:6
Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good character.” 1 Corinthians 15:33
Friends-- these are the verses that most guide me on this board.
Know when to answer the fool, and when not to-- don't bother trying wisdom with the unwise, they'll trample it and try and tear you down-- and most importantly, bad company corrupts (oops edit) good character-- I pick and choose carefully where I go, with whom I interact, what drivel I choose to avoid reading-- recipe for sanity, and I don't get dragged down into the mud with them.
Love to all you wonderful people--0
