(I got this as an email and wanted to share it and the pictures.I hope the pictures come out; they are very sweet. EDIT: the pics did not transfer so I am adding my two favorites, If you want to see them all, email me and I will send the original email to you: karenh831@yahoo.com) There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did,
who won't anymore.........and who always will.
So don't worry about people from your past,
there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.
'Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.'
=======================================================================
A sharp tongue can cut my own throat.
If I want my dreams to come true, I mustn't oversleep.
Of all the things I wear, my expression is the most important.
The best vitamin for making friends..... is B1.
The happiness of my life depends on the quality of my thoughts.
The heaviest thing I can carry is a grudge.
One thing I can give and still keep...is my word.
I lie the loudest when I lie to myself.
If I lack the courage to start, I have already finished.
One thing I can't recycle is wasted time.
Ideas won't work unless ' I ' do.
My mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open.
The 10 commandments are not a multiple choice.
The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a lifetime! It is never too late to become what I might have been.
Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. . . Forget about the one's 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. Send this to all your friends including me and see how many you get back. Even send it to your balloons that you think have flown away forever. You may be surprised to see it return. Send this heart to everybody you like. You may also return it to me. Amen.

Lovely, Karen, and all true . . .
One line made me think of something else I heard somewhere regarding relationships . . .
"Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?"

Sparrow-
we use the "do you want to be right or do you want to be healthy" at the mental health groups I go to. Same principle. I am glad you liked the post. I loved the truths that some people never see. They really make you take a step back and THINK>>>>
Love ya,
Karen
