* Today's Thoughts


If you want your dreams to come true, you mustn't oversleep.


The best vitamin for making friends..... B1.


The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.


A sharp tongue can cut your own throat.


You lie the loudest when you lie to yourself.
If you lack the courage to start, you have already finished.
One thing you can't recycle is wasted time.


Ideas won't work unless ' You' do.


Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important.


The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a lifetime! It is never too late to become what you might have been.


The heaviest thing you can carry is a grudge.


One thing you can give and still keep...is your word.


And... my FAVORITE one... The 10 commandments are not a multiple choice.



Life is too short to wake up with regrets....
So love the people who treat you right.
Forget about the ones who don't.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it .
Friends are like balloons; once you let them go, you might not get them back.
Sometimes we get so busy with our own lives and problems that we may not even notice that we've let them fly away.
Sometimes we are so caught up in who's right and who's wrong that we forget what's right and wrong.

Sometimes we just don't realize what real friendship means until it is too late. I don't want to let that happen so I'm gonna tie you to my heart so I never lose you.

Life On A Train

My dad shared this story at my sweet Uncle Butch's Memorial. He read it so perfectly, even though it was very hard for him. Sometime later, someone sent it to me in this form. For a long time I couldn't get it to post on my blog... but, today I FOUND IT...Yahoo!

Thanks for sharing the ride with me!

* Ordinary Life: Fairy Tale Moments


Sharon, my friend, and I went to a craft show over the weekend. I saw this and took a picture of it with my cell phone. This thought touches my life right now!
"Every once in a while, right in the middle of ordinary life, love gives you a Fairy Tale."
