Everybody should just make a conscious decision to be happy & to have a good day - every morning. It's easier to be happy than angry. Anger uses up a lot of energy that could be used for SMILING.
The trick is to figure out a way to live within your means, & want what you have, not what you want.

~ Realizing ~
Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
As you slide down the banisters of life may the splinters never point the wrong way.
~ Friends ~
The best kind of friend
is the one you could sit on a porch with,
never saying a word,
and walk away feeling like
that was the best conversation you've had.

Stronger Than Before
"Broken wings take time to mend,
Before they learn to fly again.
On the breath of God they’ll soar,
They’ll be stronger than before.
Don’t look back into the past,
What was fire now is ash.
Let it all be dead and gone,
The time is now for moving on."
~ Janny Grien
Portion of her song lyrics

Life is like a flower, it grows from a seed, blossoms into a precious bud that opens into a glorious bloom ... that one day will fade away.

~ Memory ~
He who is not very strong in memory, should not meddle with falsehoods
~ Friendship ~
Friendship consists in forgetting what one gives & remembering what one receives.
~ Unspoken ~
Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

A true friend unbosoms freely, advises, justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, & continues a friend unchangeably.
~ Insight ~
The higher a monkey climbs, the more you see of its behind. (Joseph Stillwell)
Don’t speak to me...
... about your religion; first show it to me in how you treat other people.
Don't tell me how much you love your god; show me in how much you love all his children.
Don't preach to me your passion for your faith; teach me through your compassion for your neighbors.
In the end, I'm not as interested in what you have to tell or sell as I am in how you choose to live and give....

When the mirror of life reveals our backside.....our past....do we smile and reveal the love and blessings of Christ? or do we hide amongst the pain that pulls us down?
