Live In The Present

If you are depressed you are living in the past.

If you are anxious you are living in the future.

If you are at peace you are living in the present.

Quote By ~ Lau Tzu

Challenging Yourself

If you don't CHALLENGE yourself you will never
realise what YOU can BECOME.

The Blink Of An Eye

Life goes by in the blink of an eye.

So be sure to appreciate the many moments with
family and friends that make your life complete.

A Meaningful Life

A Meaningful Life is not being rich, being
popular, being highly educated or
being perfect.

It Is about being real, being humble,
being strong and being able to share
ourselves and touch the lives of others.

It Is only then that we could have a
full, happy and contented life.

Always Tell People Exactly How You Feel.

Always tell people exactly how you feel,
because opportunities are lost in the blink
of an eye but our regrets can last a lifetime.

Happiness Comes When We Stop Complaining

HAPPINESS comes when we stop complaining
about the troubles we have and say thanks
to God for the troubles we don't have.

As I Get Older The More I Enjoy Life

The older I get the less I care what
other people think of me.

Therefore, the older I get
the more I enjoy life.

Today Is A Gift

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift, which is why it's called the present.

The Greatest Show Of Strength

Being strong doesn't always mean standing your ground
and fighting your battles.

Sometimes, just summoning the courage to walk away with
your head held high and your pride intact is the
greatest show of strength.

The Best Medicine

The best medicine a parent can have is a great big hug
from their children.

So make sure you get some every day and
live a long and happy life.

Family Is The Greatest Wealth

MY FAMILY

A persons own family is, without doubt, the greatest
wealth that we will ever possess.

Treasure every moment and take the time to ensure
that the story you create is one that you will be proud
of and look back on with a huge smile.

Beauty Only Gets Attention

BEAUTY only gets attention.

Personality is what captures the HEART.

Advice for Men

ADVICE FOR MEN

When a woman says to you "Just do what you want"

Do not, under any circumstances do what you want!

A Role For Everyone You Meet

Throughout your life you will come to understand that 
there is a role for everyone you meet.
Some will test you, some will love you, some will use you 
and some will teach you.
The ones you remember the most are the ones who brought 
out the very best in you because those people are amazing
and it's being with those people that will remind you
every day why its all worth it.

Lord, Watch Over My Friends and Family

Lord, I bring to you my burdens and you know my situation.
You knew many times in my life I have struggled and needed you
to get me through.
You always brought comfort to my heart, gave me the strength
and the will to carry on. 
I pray that you will watch over those family and friends who are
struggling right now and help them through their difficult times.

Amen.

Actions Speak Louder Than Your Words

You can say "I'm sorry", "I Love You", "I'm here for you"
a million times, in fact you can say anything you want to,
whenever you want to, however it you're not going
to prove any of the things you say then don't say
anything at all. Because if you can't show it, your words
don't mean a thing.

Letting The Bridge Break

Sometimes you just have to let the bridge break,
allow the tears to flow, pick yourself up
and start again.

Being A Good Person

Being a good person does not depend on your religion,
status in life, race, skin colour, political views or culture.

It depends on how YOU treat others.

Life and Time

LIFE teaches us to make good use of time.

TIME will teach us the value of life.

For Those I May Have Wronged

For those I may have wronged, I ask for forgiveness.

For those that I have helped, I wish I could have done more.

For those I could not help, I ask for understanding.

For those who have helped me, I am grateful for all you did.

All Wounds Leave Scars

Every wound, physical or emotional, leaves a scar,
and those scars say

"I have survived, I am strong"

Sometimes It's Better To Keep Silent

SOMETIMES its better to keep silent
than tell others around you just how you feel.

BECAUSE it hurts badly when you know in your heart
that they can hear your words but they cannot understand.

My Children Are A Beautiful Gift.

My children are a beautiful gift that bring warmth
to my heart and brightness to each
and every day of my life.

She Is A Woman

She is a woman.
She is a mother, a daughter, a wife, a sister.
She is a truly amazing person.
She is strong, smart, crafty.
She is passionate, courageous, generous.
She is beautiful, she has a brain and knows
exactly how to use it.
She gives life, love respect, gratitude and believes in others.
She will nurture you, fight for you and she
deserves nothing less in return from YOU.

Sharing for strong women all over the world.

Clearing Out The past

CLEARING out the PAST, PACKING up the
PRESENT and PREPARING for a
much better and brighter FUTURE

lost to us this Memorial Day.

You are always remembered - We will never forget.

There is no greater sacrifice than giving ones life
for their country.

Life Is Short - Live It

Always Remember

Live if short, Live it.
Love is rare, Grab it.
Anger is bad, Let go of it.
Fear plays with your mind, Face it.
Memories are sweet, Cherish them.

My Greatest Wish

My greatest wish is that my children will always know 

just how much I love them and for the rest of their lives 

will know that no matter what, I will always be there for 

them, anyway I can.

My children are a gift and I will treasure mine forever

Living with an Invisible Illness

It's hard to explain to someone who has no idea of the
daily struggles you face. Feeling pain, feeling unwell, feeling awful
on the inside whilst looking perfectly fine on the outside.
Putting on a brave face for everyone.

Please share this on your status if you, or someone close to you,
has an invisible illness. There are many forms -
Chron's, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Diabetes, Lupus,
Fybromyalgia, MS, ME, Arthritis, Cancer, Heart Disease,
Epilepsy, Autism, Alzheimers and the many
other types of invisible illness coped with daily.

It's Funny - It's Hilarious - It's Comical

It's funny how some people are nice to my face.

It's hilarious how some people talk crap behind my back.

It's comical that these people think I don't know about it!

Forgiveness Is The Best Form Of Love

Forgiveness is the best form of love.

It takes a strong person to say they're sorry
and an even stronger person to forgive.

Know You Are A Better Person

No matter how people may treat you,
never stoop down to their level.

Just know you're a better person,
smile and walk away.

Spend Time, Not Money

If we really want our children to turn out well,
we should spend twice as much time with them
and half as much money on them.

The Battle Between Your Head & Your Heart

One of the worst battles you will have to fight in the one
between what you know in your head and
what you feel in you heart.

One Of The Biggest Mistakes I've Made

One of the biggest mistakes I've made in my life
is allowing certain people to stay in my life
far longer than they ever deserved to be in it.

I've Learned To Give

I've learned to give, not because I have much,
but because I know how it feels to have nothing.

Share Positivity, Be Strong, Keep Faith

Always pray to have eyes that will see the best in people,
a heart that will forgive the worst in others, a mind that
will allow you to forget the bad things that have happened
and a soul that will never let you lose faith.

Share Positivity, Be Strong, Keep Faith.

How Strong You Are

You will never know just how strong you are
until someone you care about hurts you badly.

A Friend Or A Lesson

When you completely trust another person,
you will end up with one of two outcomes.

A friend for life or
A lesson for life.

Both, regardless of the outcome, are valuable.

Other People's Words

Other people's words do not have the power to hurt you
unless that person means a lot to you.

Be Better Than Yesterday

The only person you should want to be better than,
is the person you were yesterday.

They Can't Handle What's Right With YOU

SOMETIMES people in your life will try to expose what's
wrong with you because they can't handle what's right with you!

It's My Life And I'm Happy

My body sometimes feels sore, but it works.
I don't sleep well most nights, but I do wake up
to fight another day. My wallet is not full but my
stomach is. I don't have all the things I ever wanted
but I do have everything I will ever need.

I'm thankful because although my life is by no means
perfect, it's my life and I'm happy.

Our Thoughts, Love and Support are with you.

At least 91 people, including 20 children, are feared killed 
by a huge tornado which tore through Oklahoma City suburbs,

by winds of up to 200mph (320km/h).

About 120 people are being treated in hospitals.

Find What's Right For You

Find those arms that will hold you tightly during
your weakest moments.
Find those eyes that will see the true beauty in you,
even during those ugly times in your life
and find a heart that will love you,
even when you are at your worst.

Always Someone To Criticize

No matter how good a person you are,
There will always be someone criticizing you!

Marriage Won't Guarantee Forever

Marriage does not guarantee that you will be together forever,
it's only paper.

It takes love, trust, respect, commitment, understanding,
friendship and faith in your relationship to make it last.

Never Settle For Anything other Than Respect

The way you treat yourself sets the
standard for others on how you
want to be treated.

Never settle for anything other than
RESPECT

Worrying Steals YOUR Joy

Why Worry?
It's a total waste of time and it doesn't change anything.
All it does is steal your joy and keeps you busy doing nothing.
