As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.
You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time.
You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
You'll fight with your best friend.
You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.
You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.
So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

If You Think You Can't

'If you think you can do a thing, or you think you can't do a thing, you're always right.' Henry Ford
If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win but you think you can't, it's almost a cinch you wont.
For out in the world you'll find success begins with a persons will.
It's all in the state of Mind.
Think big, and your deeds will grow;
Think small and you fall behind.
Think that you can, and you will.
It's all in your state of mind.
If you think you are outclassed, you are.
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself
before you can ever win a prize.
Life's battle
doesn't always go to the stronger or faster one;
But sooner or later,
the one who wins is the person who thinks they can.

The Touchstone

When the great library of Alexandria burned, the story goes, one book was saved. But it was not a valuable book; and so a poor man, who could read a little, bought it for a few coppers.
The book wasn't very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed. It was a thin strip of vellum on which was written the secret of the Touchstone!
The touchstone was a small pebble that could turn any common metal into pure gold. The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. But the secret was this: The real stone would feel warm, while ordinary pebbles are cold.
So the man sold his few belongings, bought some simple supplies, camped on the seashore, and began testing pebbles.
He knew that if he picked up ordinary pebbles and threw them down again because they were cold, he might pick up the same pebble hundreds of times. So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea. He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone. Yet he went on and on this way. Pick up a pebble. Cold - throw it into the sea. Pick up another. Throw it into the sea.
The days stretched into weeks and the weeks into months. One day, however, about mid-afternoon, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done. He had formed such a strong habit of throwing each pebble into the sea that when the one he wanted came along he still threw it away.
So it is with opportunity.
Unless we are vigilant, it's easy to fail to recognize an opportunity when it is in hand and it's just as easy to throw it away.

I’m sending a pillow of happy thoughts
to create wonderful dreams,
a blanket of care to comfort you all night
and
A prayer to protect until morning.
GOOD NIGHT!! SLEEP TIGHT, everyone!!

It's a beautiful Sunday morning! I woke up late because I slept rather late than usual. went to a party last night, and as a Mom, I can't help but watch the clock as it 'tic-tac' away the time until she returned. The moment I knew she's safe home, I succumbed to the much-needed slumber...
And now the sun is shining brightly! A perfect day to hit the beach or go to the mall, but I prefer to be inside, enjoying the last day of the long-weekend we're having. It's been a long while since I've felt this peaceful, and oh well, happy as i laze around the house on a Sunday. Being busy with work all the time, weekends were spent rather ordinary in bed, catching up and recharging energy for the next week's workload...but today is different. I am glowing inside and out, and as they say, I'm gonna SEIZE THE DAY!
