* Accept that some days you’re the pigeon,

And some days you’re the statue.

* Always keep your words soft and sweet,

Just in case you have to eat them.

* Always wear stuff that will make you look good

If you die in the middle of it.

* Drive carefully. It’s not only cars that can be

“Recalled” by their maker.

* If you can’t be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

* If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again,

It was probably worth it.

* It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to be kind to others.

* Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time,

Because then you won’t have a leg to stand on.

* Nobody cares if you can’t dance well.

Just get up and dance.

* When everything’s coming your way,

You’re in the wrong lane.

* Birthdays are good for you.

The more you have, the longer you live.

* You may be only one person in the world,

But you may also be the world to one person.

* Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

* We could learn a lot from crayons… Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.

*A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery

on a detour.

Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you today

‘Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.’

sometimes it just means ur strong enough to let go”

What is it about change that is so scary? Is it the unknown or the known? Are we scared about what will happen or what won’t? I’m not sure. It is just starting to hit me that I am now 18 and out of high school. I’m an “adult.” Things will never be the same again. Is that a good thing, a bad thing, or both? I would have to say both. Good because there are many things that I am happy to leave behind but I am very scared about what lies ahead of me. Will I do all right in college? Will I be alone for the rest of my life? Will I make so many mistakes that I can never undo them? I don’t know! 

Don’t Quit

by Author Unknown

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

when the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,

when the funds are low and the debts are high,

and you want to smile but you have to sigh,

when care is pressing you down a bit – rest if you must,

but don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns.

As everyone of us sometimes learns.

And many a failure turns about when he might have won had he stuck it out.

Don’t give up though the pace seems slow – you may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering man;

often the struggler has given up when he might have captured the victor’s cup;

and he learned too late when the night came down,

how close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out – the silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

and you never can tell how close you are,

it may be near when it seem so far;

so stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit – it’s when things seem worse,

that you must not quit.

Ouch.. :(

Thanks so much Viv. I had a TON of fun!! :)

Do Not Stand At My Grave and Weep
by Mary Elizabeth Frye

Do not stand at my grave and weep; 
I am not there. I do not sleep. 
I am a thousand winds that blow. 
I am the diamond glints on snow. 
I am the sunlight on ripened grain. 
I am the gentle autumn rain. 
When you awaken in the morning’s hush 
I am the swift uplifting rush 
Of quiet birds in circled flight. 
I am the soft stars that shine at night. 
Do not stand at my grave and cry; 
I am not there. I did not die.

“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.” – Philip K. Dick
