    WOW..this one is powerful!!:heart:


    :heart: As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down
    probably will.

    :heart: You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time.

    :heart: You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.

    :heart: You'll fight with your best friend.

    :heart: You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.

    :heart: You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.

    :heart: 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.

    Wow that one's great saving it to my doc's! Thanks FC.

    "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."

    - With tears in her eyes after I told her one of my friends (whom she'd never met) committed suicide. My dear sweet Grandma .(R.I.P.)

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

    She can!! I believe that people we lost close to our hearts are watching over us making sure we do the right thing.

    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--

    :cry: :brokenheart: and this is why :heart: we love ya so much Marla:heart: ....the wisdom you bestow upon us all!!

    I learn, and learn and again still I I do the same thing poke my head into a nasty hornets nest:angry::noway: :cry: (angry face at myself there) ...when oh when will I truly learn to be much more cautious with my time, but most of all MY HEART:heart::cry: :brokenheart:

    :heart: "We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives.not looking for flaws, but for potential." :heart:
