The greatest tests are the ones we view as stupid
We forget to tell those who are important to us just how much we care
We forget that every cloud has a silver lining
We view our problems as though they can never be solved
We forget that there is always a tomorrow
We hold onto the past like it can help us through today
We see challenges as a trial, forgetting that trials are what give us character
We forget to smile, laugh and be happy,, God love you
You are the apple of his eyes
Life is a wonderful gift, how we accept things in life depends on how we see ourselves
Life is wonderful, we meet wonderful people, have great relationships, share wonderful secrets and moments and get to be loved and to love
Do not take life for granted
May yours be filled with love and happiness ALWAYS!!!
“The secret of Happiness is to make others believe they are the cause of it”
Have a colourful day!!!!!!
and Keep smiling!!!
Stay Blessed, I Am!!!!!!!

Life Steps
Our entire life is made up of choices,
What we decide,
the action we take,
the attitude we display
All represent the steps of life.
Sometimes we take two steps forward
And one-step back.
Some of us take baby steps
Some of us take giant steps
But the secret is not to let that
one step back turn into a failure.
Learn from backward steps
And keep on stepping forward in this dance
Called Life!

Never Give Up
Sir Winston Churchill took three years getting through eighth grade because he had trouble learning English. It seems ironic that years later Oxford University asked him to address its commencement exercises.
He arrived with his usual props. A cigar, a cane and a top hat accompanied Churchill wherever he went. As Churchill approached the podium, the crowd rose in appreciative applause. With unmatched dignity, he settled the crowd and stood confident before his admirers. Removing the cigar and carefully placing the top hat on the podium, Churchill gazed at his waiting audience. Authority rang in Churchill's voice as he shouted, "Never give up!"
Several seconds passed before he rose to his toes and repeated: "Never give up!" His words thundered in their ears. There was a deafening silence as Churchill reached for his hat and cigar, steadied himself with his cane and left the platform. His commencement address was finished.

May You Have
May you have......
Enough happiness to keep you sweet,
Enough trials to keep you strong,
Enough sorrow to keep you human,
Enough hope to keep you happy;
Enough failure to keep you humble,
Enough success to keep you eager,
Enough friends to give you comfort,
Enough wealth to meet your needs;
Enough enthusiasm to look forward,
Enough faith to banish depression,
Enough determination to make each day better than yesterday.

Count That Day Lost
If you sit down at set of sun
And count the acts that you have done,
And, counting, find
One self-denying deed, one word
That eased the heart of him who heard,
One glance most kind
That fell like sunshine where it went-
Then you may count that day well spent.
But if, through all the livelong day,
You've cheered no heart, by yea or nay-
If, through it all
You've nothing done that you can trace
That brought the sunshine to one face-
No act most small
That helped some soul and nothing cost-
Then count that day as worse than lost.
And count the acts that you have done,

But if, through all the livelong day,
You've cheered no heart, by yea or nay-
If, through it all

That brought the sunshine to one face-
No act most small

Then count that day as worse than lost.
