REMEMBER ALWAYS: Laugh at your mistakes but learn from them. Joke over your troubles but gather strength from them. Make fun of your difficulties but overcome them.

LIFE IS.... a song -- sing it … a game -- play it … a challenge -- meet it … a dream -- live it … a sacrifice -- offer it … love -- enjoy it The beauty of life does not depend on how happy you are but on how happy others can be because of you.

GRATITUDE Find time to thank those people who mean so much to you. Tell them that you appreciate the little things that they do to make you happy.

LOVE There are some people who cannot say the words "I Love You" but they sure can let you know that they do. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance they'll love you back. Don't expect love in return. Just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be contented it grew in yours. Some people say "I Love You" just for the sake of saying it. Others say it just because of pity. And still others because they promised to say it. But when you think real hard, the people who find it so hard to say it are usually the only ones who really mean it!

The miracle of friendship … speaks from one heart to another … listens for unspoken needs … recognizes secret dreams … understands the silent things

SILENCE Never leave things unsaid with the one you love because you'll never know if you'll ever have another chance to say them.
