That ignoring the facts does NOT change them.

That love of MYSELF, not time, heals all wounds.

That I can't choose how I feel, but I can choose WHAT I do about it.

That life is tough, but I'm TOUGHER.

That when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock ELSEWHERE.

That when you plan to get even with someone,
you are only LETTING that person continue to hurt you.

That we should be glad God doesn't give us EVERYTHING we ask for.

That it's those small DAILY HAPPENINGS that make life so spectacular.

That the Lord didn't do it all in one day…
What makes me think I CAN?

I have learned that I need to be patient with myself.

I have learned that great people make bad, huge mistakes and it's really not the end of the world.

I have learned that the excitement of the A rarely last more than a few minutes after returning home and back to reality.

I have learned that it is possible to care for more than man intimately.

I have learned that be careful of my "nevers" because there is alot of truth in the saying...never say never.

I have learned that there is a huge emotional price to be pay when you decide to lie, cheat, and betray.

I have learned that a broken heart still hurts the same no matter how many times it gets broken!

Vitality shows not only in the ability to persist, but in the ability to start over.
