That's Life
As a career professional, volunteer, mom, wife, and friend, I focus on the positive aspects of life, even when the road is rough getting there. Life is funny. How you treat others, how you handle situations, and how you live each day is your responsibility ... so are the outcomes.
Law of The Garbage Truck
I received the story below and felt it should be shared with as many people as possible.
Believe
A Birth Certificate shows that we were born .
A Death Certificate shows that we died.
Pictures show that we lived!
Have a seat . . . Relax . . . I Believe...
That just because two people argue,
It doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue,
It doesn't mean they do love each other.
I Believe...
That we don't have to change friends if
We understand that friends change.
I Believe....
That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I Believe...
That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.
I Believe...
That you can do something in an instant
That will give you heartache for life..
I Believe...
That it's taking me a long time
To become the person I want to be.
I Believe...
That you should always leave loved ones with
Loving words. It may be the last time you see them..
I Believe...
That you can keep going long after you think you can't.
I Believe...
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I Believe...
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
I Believe...
That my best friend and I, can do anything, or nothing and have the best time.
I Believe...
That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry,
But that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
I Believe...
That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had
And what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
I Believe...
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I Believe...
That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I Believe...
That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are,
But, we are responsible for who we become.
I Believe...
Two people can look at the exact same
Thing and see something totally different.
I Believe...
That your life can be changed in a matter of
Hours by people who don't even know you.
I Believe...
That even when you think you have no more to give, when
A friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.
I Believe...
That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
I Believe...
That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.
I Believe...
'The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything.
Thank you God for all the wonderful people who help us throughout the journey of life...
Little Things Mean A Lot - I Challenge You
There is so much truth to the statement "little things mean a lot" especially in this day and age when there is so much negativity, sadness, frustration, and meaningless violence. I'd be willing to bet each and every one of us, on a daily basis, could change a person's day in an instant. People tend to shy away from a person having a bad day or a person dealing with one or more of life's not so nice lessons.
Words to Live By
Okay, so it's my birthday today. Each birthday, I reflect on the year past - accomplishments, family gained, family lost, answered & unanswered prayers, quality time with family and friends, but most of all, how I have been to myself and others. If tomorrow never came, what lasting impression would I leave behind? Did I hold true to my beliefs, morals, and values. Did I speak to and treat others as I would want to be treated? What positive improvements can I make each day to help myself accomplish my goals and dreams, while helping others achieve theirs in the process?
