.. width="425" height="350" ....The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time! (Abraham Lincoln).We only live once, but once is enough if we do it right. Live your life with class, dignity and style so that an exclamation, rather than a question mark signifies it.Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. (Marcel Proust).When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door we do not see the one which has been opened for us. (Helen Keller)If I could reach up and take a star for every time you have made me smile, the entire night sky would be in the palm of my hand.Would like to have met Jeff Buckley.
