Hold On Tightly To What Is Truly Important In Life

Hold on to faith; it is the source of believing
that all things are possible. It is the fiber
and strength of a confident soul.
Hold on to hope; it banishes doubt and enables
attitudes to be positive and cheerful.
Hold on to trust; it is at the core of fruitful
relationships that are secure and content.
Hold on to love; it is life's greatest gift of all,
for it shares, cares and gives meaning to life.
Hold on to family and friends; they are the most
important people in your life, and they make
the world a better place. They are your roots
and the beginnings that you grew from;
they are the vine that has grown through time
to nourish you, help you on your way,
and always remain close by.
Hold on to all that you are and all that you have
learned, for these things are what make you unique.
Don't ignore what you feel and what you believe
is right and important; your heart has a way
of speaking louder than your mind.
Hold on to your dreams; achieve them diligently
and honestly. Never take the easy way or
surrender to deceit. Remember others on your way,
and take time to care for their needs.
Enjoy the beauty around you.
Have the courage to see things differently and clearly.
Make the world a better place one day at a time,
and don't let go of the important things that
give meaning to your life. _{~Kelly D. Caron}


The most important trip you may take in life
is meeting people halfway. _{~Henry Boye}


If nature has made you a giver, your hands
are born open, and so is your heart.
And though there may be times when your hands
are empty, your heart is always full, and you
can give things out of that.

It is better to be hated for what you are,

Online Friendship

Online friend I have never seen you before,
but I know you are really there.
I click you into reality, like magic in the air.
Your voice is like an angel, though I really do not hear.
Your hug as warm as any, of the loved ones I hold dear.
You are always there for comfort, or a word of cheer.
Though you are very far away, I always have you near.
You are a very special friend, like none I have ever known.
As long as you are in cyberspace, I will never be alone.

The Making of Friends

Life is sweet because of the friends we have made
And the things which in common we share;
We want to live on, not because of ourselves,
But because of the ones who would care.
It's living and doing for somebody else
On that all of life's splendor depends,
And the joy of it all, when we count it all up,
Is found in the making of friends.
_{~Edgar A. Guest}


Joy is a net of love that captures souls.

Into their hearts.

have to learn is unconditional love,
which includes not only others,
but ourselves as well.

To accomplish great things,
we must not only act, but also dream,
not only plan, but also believe.
_{~Anatole France}


If you put truth above your own desires
And value those as friends who feel the same
If you take pride in things that you've accomplished
And when you're wrong, stand up and take the blame
If you can understand your limitations
And not waste time on tasks beyond your scope
But take the future as a brand new challenge
That you can meet with confidence and hope
If you can listen to those who would advise you
And then judge for yourself just what is right
If you can keep in touch with all about you
And settle differences without a fight
If you can find delight in simple pleasures
And see the rainbow, not the falling rain
If you can lose and never give up trying
Believing that there's nothing done in vain
If you can staunchly stick by your convictions
And not let others set your goals for you
If you can be as practical as need be
And still remember sometimes dreams come true
If you can live the life that you believe in
And trust your judgment and maturity
Then you'll be not just happy and successful,
But the worthwhile person you are meant to be.
_{~E. M. Gerus}


Time is too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve,
Too short for those who rejoice,
But for those who love,
time is eternity.

Live Each Day With Love

Life is a constant process of growth and change.
Each day is a miracle filled with new
discoveries and challenges.
Some days bring hurt and disappointment also, but
these, too, are challenges, and as you grow and
change you learn to handle them with more ease.
Growing older means growing in experience,
growing in courage and compassion, growing in
love and growing in strength.
Growing older means changing your life to make
it meaningful to you, changing your attitudes,
and staying flexible about everyday living.
Life keeps getting better as long as
you have a positive attitude.
Remind yourself of all the things you love
about life, stay in touch with your loved ones and
friends, and do what your own heart tells you to.
Your tomorrow will always bring you good things
if you live each day with love. _{~Donna Levine}

Everyone Needs Someone

People need people and friends need friends
And we all need love for a full life depends
Not on vast riches or great acclaim
Not on success or on worldly fame
But just in knowing that someone cares
And holds us close in their thoughts and prayers
For only the knowledge that we're understood
Makes everyday living feel wonderfully good
And we rob ourselves of life's greatest need
When we 'lock up our hearts' and fail to heed
The outstretched hand reaching to find
A kindred spirit whose heart and mind
Are lonely and longing to somehow share
Our joys and sorrows and to make us aware
That life's completeness and richness depends
On the things we share with our
loved ones and friends.
_{~Helen Steiner Rice}


Love is not two people gazing at each other,

Always Have A Dream

Forget about the days when its been cloudy,
but don't forget your hours in the sun.
Forget about the times you've been defeated,

Forget about the days when you've been lonely,
but don't forget the friendly smiles you've seen.
Forget about the plans that didn't seem to work out right,
but don't forget to always have a dream.

24 Things to Always Remember and 1 Thing to Never Forget

Your presence is a present to the world.
You're unique and one of a kind.
Your life can be what you want it to be.
Take the days just one at a time.

Count your blessings, not your troubles.
You'll make it through whatever comes along.
Within you are so many answers.
Understand, have courage, be strong.

Don't put limits on yourself.
So many dreams are waiting to be realized.
Decisions are too important to leave to chance.
Reach for your peak, your goal, your prize.

Nothing wastes more energy than worrying.
The longer one carries a problem, the heavier it gets.
Don't take things too seriously.
Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets.

Remember that a little love goes a long way.
Remember that a lot...goes forever.
Remember that friendship is a wise investment.
Life's treasures are people...together.

Realize that it's never too late.
Do ordinary things in an extraordinary way.
Have health and hope and happiness.
Take the time to wish upon a star.

And don't ever forget...for even a day...how very Special you are!

Thank You Friend

I never came to you, my friend, and went away without
some new enrichment of the heart;
More faith and less of doubt,
more courage in the days ahead.
And often in great need coming to you,
I went away comforted indeed.
How can I find the shining word, the glowing phrase
that tells all that your love has meant to me,
all that your friendship spells?
There is no word, no phrase for you
on whom I so depend.
All I can say to you is this,
God Bless You precious friend.
_{~Grace Noll Crowell}

Daring Greatly

It is not the critic who counts
Not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled
Or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit goes to the man who is actually in the arena
Whose face is marred by dust and blood
Who strives valiantly
Who errs and comes short again and again.
Who knows great enthusiasms
The great devotions.
Who spends himself in a worthy cause
Who at best knows in the end
the triumph of high achievement
And who at the worst, if he fails
At least fails while Daring Greatly
So that his place shall never be
With the timid souls
Who neither know victory or defeat.
_{~Theodore Roosevelt}


Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind
And therefore is wing'd cupid painted blind.
_{~Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream}

you think you cannot do.
_{~Eleanor Roosevelt}


Just think,
you're here not by chance,
but by God's choosing.
His hand formed you
and made you the person you are.
He compares you to no one else--
you are one of a kind.
You lack nothing
that His grace can't give you.
He has allowed you to be here
at this time in history
to fulfill His special purpose
for this generation.
_{~Roy Lessin}


Things To Think About In Difficult Times

I am making all the right choices.
Failure is impossible.
It doesn't hurt more than you can stand.
It only hurts as long as you haven't seen the point.
It doesn't have to hurt at all.
On the whole, men and women would rather like you than not.
You don't have to do anything you can't.
There is enough time for everything, but
give your full attention to only one thing at a time.
Need only what you can supply yourself or already have.
Don't settle. It is better to have nothing than to be
stuck with inferior something.
Calm down.
Don't forget to breathe.
_{~Jean Sirius}


Friendship is one mind in two bodies.

'Stay' is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary.

Friendship
There's a miracle of friendship
That dwells within the heart
And you don't know how it happens
Or where it gets its start
But the happiness it brings you
Always gives a special lift
And you realize that friendship is
God's most perfect gift.

The Rose Beyond The Wall

A rose once grew where all could see,
sheltered beside a garden wall.
And, as the days passed swiftly by,
it spread its branches, straight and tall.

One day, a beam of light shone through
a crevice that had opened wide.
The rose bent gently toward its warmth
then passed beyond to the other side.

Now, you who deeply feel its loss,
be comforted, the rose blooms there.
Its beauty even greater now,
nurtured by God's own loving care.
_{~Author unknown}
(In Loving Memory of my Mother who passed away on June 26, 1999)


A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart
and can sing it back to you
when you have forgotten the words.
_{~Author unknown}


The Rose

Some say Love...
It is a river that drowns the tender reed
Some say Love...
It is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say Love...
It is a hunger, an endless aching need
I say Love...
It is a flower, and you its only seed.
It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken,
who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
that never learns to live.
When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember...
In the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed
That with the sun's love
In the spring
Becomes the Rose.
_{~lyrics by Amanda McBroom}
