I believe

[hensylee]

A Birth Certificate shows that we were born; A Death Certificate shows
that we died; Pictures show that we lived! Have a seat . . Relax . And
now read this slowly.

I believe - That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they
don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't
mean they do.

I believe - That we don't have to change friends if we understand that
friends change.

I believe - That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt
you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I believe - That true friendship continues to grow, even over the
longest distance. Same goes for true love.

I believe - That you can do something in an instant that will give you
heartache for life.

I believe - That it's taking me a long time to become the person I
want to be.

I believe - That you should always leave loved ones with loving words.
It may be the last time you see them.

I believe - That you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I believe - That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we
feel.

I believe - That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I believe - That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when
it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I believe - That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I believe - That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when
you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

I believe - That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be
angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I believe - That maturity has more to do with what types of
experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to
do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I believe - That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I believe - That no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world
doesn't stop for your grief.

I believe - That our background and circumstances may have influenced
who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

I believe - Two people can look at the exact same thing and see
something totally different.

I believe - That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by
people who don't even know you.

I believe - That even when you think you have no more to give, when a
friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.

I believe - That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent
human being.

I believe - That the people you care about most in life are taken from
you too soon.

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the best of everything they have.

Take every birthday with a grain of salt. This works much better if
the salt accompanies a Margarita.

Ann:
You made my day because you described my life...or the one I hoped to live.

This just has to be made into a sampler so that I can keep those thoughts in my life.

Many thanks, dear person.

Ann, this is a beautiful post. I'm going through some difficult times right now and this says it all. This was a "God" thing. You posted this at just the right time. Hugs are coming you way. Thanks again! !

I believe tensions between belief systems, be they either personal, local, national, political, economic, or religious are responsible for the vast majority of conflict on our globe.

Ann, thanks for sharing. It was perfect and I also think it needs to be on a sampler. Maybe my next cross stitch project.

once in awhile that happens to me when I am having a rough patch. Someone will send me something that fits right into that patch and flowers grow again. Yes, Glenda, I believe it's a God thing, too. (or ESP?)
