Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right.

Forget about the one's who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason.

If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it.

Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

"This is the true joy in life - being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy."

Subject: Friendship

People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a  lifetime.  When
you figure out which it is, you know  exactly what to do.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is  usually to meet a need
you have expressed outwardly or  inwardly.  They have come to assist you
through a  difficulty, to provide you with guidance and  support, to aid you
physically, emotionally, or spiritually.  They may seem like a godsend,
and they are.  They are there for the reason, you need them to be.  Then,
without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will
say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die.
Sometimes they walk away.  Sometimes they act up or out and force you to
take a stand.  What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire
fulfilled; their work is done.  The prayer you sent up has been answered
and it is now time to move on.

When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has
come to share, grow, or learn. They may bring you an experience of peace
or make you laugh.  They may teach you something you have never done. 
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.  Believe it!  It is real!
But, only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; those things you must
build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.  Your job is to
accept the lesson, love the person/people (any way); and put what you have learned
to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.  It is said that
love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
