I'm in love with the Lord, our God. I love my family. I love to paint. My medium is oil. Though I'm probably the least creative person you'll meet... I love to read, and I love building onto my book collection. In other words, instead of spending my extra cash on clothes I spend it on books... I love to spend time with my husband -- he is my main interest.
I'd like to meet:
***Do It Anyway***People are often unreasonable,
illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.----------------If you are kind,
people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.----------------If you are successful,
you will win some false friends and true enemies;
Succeed anyway.----------------If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you;
Be honest anyway.--------------What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.-----------------If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.---------------The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.------------------Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.----------------You see, in the final analysis,
it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.---------------------by Blessed Mother Teresa
