great quotes...

"When we choose not to focus on what's missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present...we experience heaven on earth."

"Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't."

"We LIVE, We DIE and the WHEELS on the BUS go round and round."

"I Do My Thing and You Do Your Thing. I Am Not In This World To Live Up To Your Expectations, And You Are Not Here TO Live Up To Mine. You Are You, And I Am I, And If By Chance We Find Each Other, It's BEAUTIFUL."

Ultimately, LOVE isn't something you say. It's something you have to do and the BEST KIND takes years. -KIRBY

Grant me PATIENCE to deal with my BLESSINGS!!

Love is the many small moments that make up a lifetime of happiness...

Life is about making mistakes, Death is about wishing you had made more!

I was made to find you, I was made just for you, made to adore you, I was made to love and be loved by you . You were here before me, You were waiting on me and you said you'd keep me. Never would you leave me. I was made to love and be loved by you!

Never miss out on the PRESIOUS PRESENT MOMENTS!

Mean what you say, say what you mean, mean what you say & drop it!

Love is that which is unlimited. There is no beginning and no end to it. No before and no after. Love always was, always is, and always will be!

4 sale signs on it...well it wasn't selling and steve and
denise decided they didn't need another all wheel
drive car to go with their already... toyota 4 runner...
