{25 November, 2009}   Change

“And that is how change happens. One gesture. One person. One moment at a time.” – The Far Sweet Thing, Libba Bray



{30 September, 2009}   Just some stuff to think about..

* 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

{29 December, 2008}   Depressing Christmas

         Christmas time is generally a time when people spend time with people they love. With me, I do love my family I suppose, but I would much rather not be with them. For the most part, they just remind me of death. They all sit around after presents, talking about all of the newest deaths in the family and among friends. Some of the people talking about these things look like they should be dead themselves. Their hair is white and falling out, their skin is falling off, their memory is fading and they are always mean and cranky. All I can think about when I am near them is, “Is that how I’m going to  be?”  The whole thing is really depressing.



A Creed To Live By
Nancye Sims
 
Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.   

It is because we are different that each of us are special. Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only do what is best for you.

Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.

Don’t let life slip through your fingers by living in the past or in the future. By living one day at a time you live all days of your life.

Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is the fragile thread that binds us to each other.

Don’t be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible. The fastest way to lose love is to hold to it tightly, and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don’t dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope, to be without hope is to be without purpose.

Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been, but also where you are going. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savoured each step of the way.



{27 June, 2008}   Cute E-mail

* I just got this in an e-mail that someone sent to me and thought it was cute. Hope you like it. :] *

 

 You may not realize it, but it’s 100% true.

 

1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.

 

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

 

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be

just like you.

 

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don’t

like you.

 

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

 

6. You mean the world to someone.

 

7. You are special and unique.

 

8. Someone that you don’t even know exists loves you.

 

9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

 

10. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take another

look.

 

11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude

remarks.

 

So ,,,

 

 

Happiness keeps You Sweet,

Trials keep You Strong,

Sorrows keep You Human,

Failures keeps You Humble,

Success keeps You Glowing,

But Only God keeps You Going
