"Try every day to learn something and be nice to somebody."
Written by Sharon Hale --- Arizona
I have told my children this every day since they were born. I told them if they learned one new thing every day and were nice to just one person every day, that at the end of the year they would have learned 365 new things and blessed 365 fellow humans. Now they are older and have become very considerate and kind human beings and told me that this has become their creed.
"Faith isn't about answers; it's about asking the right questions."

"Feeble is a man who does not take heed in the suffering of others, for he does not have the wisdom to help and serve the society of today. Noble is a man whose respects and loves knowledge, for it is food to the soul. Take heed in the abundance of knowledge and embrace it. For at the end of the perilous journey, a light shall shine through knowledge gathered, creating WISDOM unsurpassed, through time and tide."

This simple quote has always been a driving force in my life. When things may seem all lost and hope is fading, I always remind myself that a simple seed of knowledge, which grows within you, will make a difference in this world. So it's up to us to change and take charge of the moment. YOU have to make that change because no one else can until you prove you can.

THE GIFT OF TODAY
I hold a gift that's called Today,
and I don't need to borrow
anything from yesterday
and nothing from tomorrow.
The fleeting hours of Today
will hold sufficient pain;
Today may be my only chance
to savor what I gain.
So I will live my life Today,
not count on my tomorrows
nor dwell on yesterday's regrets,
its failures or its sorrows.
I'll just be grateful for Today-
enjoy each simple pleasure.
Today is such a lovely gift,
each moment is my treasure.

"Blessed are you to SEE how beautiful the world is, to HEAR wonderful music, to speak your mind and share your thoughts. For the BLIND, DEAF AND MUTE wish they could but couldn't. LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL. The problem is not with the world; it's with you. These people manage to appreciate life and so will YOU. Be a blessing."

Sometimes I envy those afflicted with handicap for they don't sin. They appreciate every single moment that their senses can feel and touch which we, without these handicaps, tend to neglect.

Just a little msg. detailing my current attitude...Nike had it right...Just Do It.
"If this world hurts you, I want you to know that it hurt me first. If this world puts you down and lies to you, just know that I've been through it all. I have been knocked down and pushed over. I've also stood back up and moved mountains that are bigger than you and me. Just know wherever you may go or whatever you may be going through, I have been there and done that. There is no mountain that I will not help move out of your way. I will always be there for you, no matter what. All you have to do is call and there you will find my helping hand, open heart, and most importantly a shoulder for you to lean on. This is one thing I can tell you that is the truth, no matter what you believe."

"The life we live is sometimes judged by others, sometimes lived day by day, sometimes lived years from the present waiting for the day to relax, sometimes lived in fear of ourselves and others. It's time to balance, like the horizon; it's time wipe your eye's clear, it's time to live."

So the next time you face one, embrace your problems with a smile and open arms. Remember not to dwell on asking the question why? But be grateful and thank HIM for CHOOSING YOU.
