    To love a person is to learn the song
    That is in their heart,
    And to sing it to them
    When they have forgotten.

    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.

    Dance like no one is watching. This is my farvorite

    We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another.

    Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough
    and we'll be more content when they are.

    After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.

    We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire.

    The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now.

    If not now ... when?

    Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.

    One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred D Souza ...

    "For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin.
    But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten 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."

    This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.

    So, treasure every moment that you have. And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time ... and remember that time waits for no one ...

    So stop waiting until you finish school ... until you go back to school ... until you lose ten pounds ... until you gain ten pounds ... until you have kids ... until your kids leave the house ... until you start work ... until you retire ... until you get married ... until you get divorced ... until Friday night ... until Sunday morning ... until you get a new car or home ... until your car or home is paid off ... until spring, until summer ... until fall ... until winter ... until you are off welfare ... until the first or fifteenth ... until your song comes on ... until you've had a drink ... until you've sobered up ... until you die ... until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy ...

    Happiness is a journey ... not a destination!!

    Thought for the day:

    "Work like you don't need money,
    Love like you've never been hurt,
    And dance like no one's watching."

    but anyone can start today and make a new ending."

    This is one I've always found very powerful....and one I've always cherished:heart:

    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.

    There is no magic escape when we face insurmountable problems.
    We often must learn to live with mountains that will not move.

    Today is my day...it is a sacred trust.
    It will be neither good nor bad.
    It may hold sadness, it may hold joy.
    It will always hold the freedom for me to choose.

    Bullies are always cowards at heart and may be credited
    with a pretty safe instinct in scenting their prey.

    It is not the intelligent woman v. the ignorant woman; nor the white woman v. the black, the brown, and the red, it is not even the cause of woman v. man. Nay, tis woman's strongest vindication for speaking that the world needs to hear her voice.

    One needs occasionally to stand aside from the hum and rush
    of human interests and passions to hear the voices of God. :heart:
