Alone in my thoughts I've discovered
I'm pretty special... you see
I used to look away from my reflection
When the mirror stared back at me.

Alone in my thoughts I've discovered
I can reflect on my past and today.
I must leave bad things behind me
and things that people say.

Alone in my thoughts I've discovered
I am responsible for how I live.
No matter how hard lifes' problems
I know I have much to give.

Alone in my thoughts I've discovered
I can dream of what I can do.
Maybe I can share a bit of hope
Or share a smile or two.

Alone in my thoughts I've discovered
I want to touch a heart somewhere.
But I have to reach out to do that
if it means my pain to share.

For today in the waters reflection
I see a face who has survived.
Alone in my thoughts I'm discovering
it's so good to be alive.

If you're alive and 'reflecting' right now on YOUR LIFE-
be THANKFUL!

There's a lot of living for you to do!!
Good, bad, ugly and in between-LIFE can be GOOD!!
LIFE is a GIFT..

You can make two choices today...
CHOICE #1:

Choose to forget the past, 
forget your mistakes,
forgive anyone who hurt you,
forgive yourself,
let go of all the pain,
and LIVE...

OR 

be MISERABLE for the "REST" of your life and
NEVER find out WHO you ARE- and what you can BECOME!

What was YOUR choice???
Everyone makes them.

I hope you'll choose #1!!!!
 

Why??......

It takes strength to fit in.
It takes courage to stand out. 

It takes strength to feel a friend's pain.
It takes courage to feel your own pain. 

It takes strength to hide your own pains.
It takes courage to show them. 

It takes strength to endure abuse.
It takes courage to stop it. 

It takes strength to stand alone.
It takes courage to lean on another. 

It takes strength to love.
It takes courage to be loved. 

It takes strength to survive.
It takes Courage to Live!!
