Thoughts for the day

[Green Knight]

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 ever 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 lives 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.

I really like that last statement. That's a good one for a sig.

I have two to add to it.....

A couple years back, when I went through a bad break-up, a friend at work said to me, "Don't cry because it's over... smile because it happened."


And in a care package I received from my Mom yesterday was a small, marble plaque, inscribed with, "Love as if you'll never get hurt."
