A true friend is one who thinks you're a good egg even though you're slightly cracked.

Golden Rules for Living If you open it, close it. If you turn it on, turn it off. If you unlock it, lock it up. If you break it, admit it. If you can't fix it, call in someone who can. If you borrow it, return it. If you value it, take care of it. If you make a mess clean it up. If you move it, put it back. If it belongs to someone else and you want to use it, get permission. If you don't know how to operate it, leave it alone. If it's none of your business, don't ask questions. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it will brighten someone's day, say it. If it will tarnish someone's reputation, keep it to yourself. By Source Unknown from Condensed Chicken Soup for the Soul Copyright 1996 by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen & Patty Hansen

SANSKRIT PROVERB Look to this day For yesterday is but a dream, And tomorrow is only a vision, But today, well lived, Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness And every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day.

SUCCESS You can use most any measure When you're speaking of success You can measure it in fancy homes, Expensive cars or dress. But the measure of your real success Is the one you cannot spend. It's the way your kids describe you When they're talking to a friend.

If gifts of friendship could be counted like small shells beside the sea, I would own an endless shoreline of the joys you've given me.

Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become your character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny. ~unknown~

ATTITUDE by Charles Swindoll The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life Attitude, to me, is more important that facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than successes, than what others think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. and so it is with you... We are in charge of our attitudes."
