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!

2010 Motto for all you girls out there...

A POEM ABOUT OUR GIRLFRIENDS
Someone will always be prettier.
Someone will always be smarter.
Some of their houses will be bigger.
Some will drive a better car.
Their children will do better in school. And their husband
will fix more things around the house. So let it go,
and love you and your circumstances. Think about it!
The prettiest woman in the
world can have hell in her heart. And the most highly
favored woman on your job may be unable to
have children.
And the richest woman you know,she's got the car,
the house, the clothes~~~~ might be lonely.
And the word says,
"If I have not Love, I am nothing." So, again, love you.
Love who you are. Look in the mirror in the morning
and smile and say,
"I am too Blessed to be Stressed and too Annointed,
to be Disappointed!" "Winners make things happen~~
Losers let things happen." Be "Blessed" Ladies~~~
MAY THE LORD BLESS & KEEP YOU,
MAY HIS FACE SHINE UPON YOU &
GIVE YOU PEACE
& BE GRACIOUS TO YOU ALWAYS!
