Just some stuff to think about

[Guest guest]

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before

meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the

right person, we will know how to be grateful for that

gift.

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but

often times we look so long at the closed door that we

don't see the one which has been opened for us.

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a

porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk

away feeling like it was the best conversation you've

every had.

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we

lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what

we've been missing until it arrives.

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance

that 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 content it grew in yours.

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an

hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but

it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for

wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes

you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark

day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart

smile.

There are moments in life when you miss someone so

much that you just want to pick them from your dreams

and hug them for real! Dream what you want to dream;

go where you want to go; be what you want to be,

because you have only one life and one chance to do

all the things you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,

enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to

keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.

Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that

it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best

of everything; they just make the most of everything

that comes along their way.

Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt,

those who have searched, and those who have tried, for

only they can appreciate the importance of people who

have touched their lives.

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends

with a tear. The brightest future will always be based

on a forgotten past.

You can't go on well in life until you let go of your

past failures and heartaches. When you were born, you

were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live

your life so that when you die, you're the one who is

smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Heidi!

This was one of the most profound pieces of writing I've read lately. I've

printed it out and plan on sharing it with my 10 YO daughter, who is wise

beyond her years!!

Thanks for sharing it with us!! And best wishes to you as you plan your

upcoming wedding!!
