About Me

Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others, It is because we are different that each of us is special. Don't set your goals by what other people deem important, Only you know what is best for you. Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart Cling to that as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless. Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life. Don't give up when you still have something to give Nothing is really over … until the moment you stop trying. Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect, It is the fragile thread that binds us to each other. Don't be afraid to encounter risks, It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave. Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give love. The fastest way to lose love is to hold on too tightly, And the best way to keep love is to give it wings. Don't dismiss your Dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope. To be without hope is to be without purpose. Don't run through life so fast that you forget where you've been, But also know where you're going. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored every step of the way.MY DEAREST BROTHER RONNIE, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I MISS YOU, I MISS YOU WITH ALL OF MY HEART, LIFE HAS NOT BEEN THE SAME SINCE YOU HAVE BEEN GONE, AND EVERY WAKING DAY, IS A DAY CLOSER THAT WE CAN BE TOGETHER AGAIN. WE ALL MISS YOU SO MUCH, AND LIFE WITHOUT YOU NOT HOME, HAS NOT BEEN EASY, DO KNOW THAT WE LOVE YOU, WE MISS YOU, AND WISH EVERYDAY THAT THE NEXT DAY, YOU CAN COME HOME...I LOOK FORWARD TO THAT DAY, AND HOPE THAT DAY, IS SOONER THAN WE THINK.IN LOVING MEMORY OF CIARA 12~06~06~ YOU WILL FOREVER REMAIN IN THE HEARTS AND THOUGHTS OF THOSE WHOM LOVED YOU SO VERY MUCH AND WHOM YOU LEFT BEHIND... I'LL SEE YOU AT THEM PEARLY WHITE GATES SOON ENOUGH "DINKY" WITH ALL MY LOVE, AUNTIE~-----------------Girls-------- -----------are like apples------ -------on trees. The best ones----- -----are at the top of the tree.----- ---The boys dont want to reach--- --for the good ones because they-- -r afraid of falling and getting hurt.- -Instead, they get the rotten apples- from the ground that arent as good, but easy. So the apples up top think something wrong w/ them when in -reality they're amazing.

I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you..2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.8. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.9 Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful10. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.12. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.To realize The value of a sister Ask someone Who doesn't have one.To realize The value of ten years: Ask a newly Divorced couple.To realize The value of four years: Ask a graduate.To realize The value of one year: Ask a student who Has failed a final exam.To realize The value of nine months: Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.To realize The value of one month: Ask a mother who has given birth to A premature baby.To realize The value of one week: Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.To realize The value of one minute: Ask a person Who has missed the train, bus or plane.To realize The value of one-second: Ask a person Who has survived an accident.Time waits for no one.Treasure every moment you have.You will treasure it even more when you can share it with someone special.To realize the value of a friend or family member :LOSE ONE.

AUGUST 8, 2006 8:50 A.M.I LIVE LIFE ONE DAY AT A TIME, TOMORROW'S FOR ME ARE NEVER PROMISED. I LIVE LIFE TO IT'S FULLEST EVERYDAY, I MAKE SURE THE ONES I LOVE KNOW IT, BELIEVE IT, AND TRUELLY FEEL IT. I NEVER TAKE LIFE NOR THE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE FOR GRANTED. I CHERISH EVERY BREATH, SAVOR EVERY MOMENT IF IT WERE THE LAST. I BELIEVE IN KARMA AND KNOW FIRST HAND HER VENGENCE. MUCH OF MY APPRECIATION OF LIFE HAS COME THROUGH LOSS. "WHAT DOESN'T MAKE ME WEAKER, MAKES ME STRONGER..." AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WHAT I WAS FORCED TO FIND OUT AT AN EARLY AGE..."EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN LIFE, GOD HAS A PURPOSE FOR IT."Whips, Chains, handcuffs, gotta be METAL!!! Cause that furlined shit is for pussy's and I already have one of those....Bondage Tape, Bondage Rope, Leather Restaints, LOL!!! No really, that's not what really matters, what really matters is....Living life to it's fullest of everyday, capturing life's most priceless moments and holding them so close to your heart and never lettin' them go and cherishing them if they were the last.

I'd like to meet:

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back

Music:

Sometimes, what we care about most gets all used up and goes away...never to return. So...while we have it...it's best we love it..and care for it....and fix it when it's broken.....and heal it when it's sick.This is true.....for marriage...and old cars.....and children with bad report cards.....and dogs with bad hips.....and aging parents.....and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it.Some things we keep.Like a best friend that moved away -- or -- a classmate we grew up with.There are just some things that make life important, like people we know who are special....and so, we keep them close!Good friends are like stars....You don't always see them, but you know they are always there...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVEa set of screwdrivers, acordless drill, and a blacklace bra...A WOMAN SHOULD HAVEone friend who alwaysmakes her laugh...and one wholets her cry...A WOMAN SHOULD HAVEa good piece of furniturenot previously owned byanyoneelse in her family...A WOMAN SHOULD HAVEeight matching plates,wine glasses with stems,and a recipefor a meal that will makeher guests feel honored..A WOMAN SHOULD HAVEa feeling of control overher destiny...EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...how to fall in lovewithoutlosing herself...EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...HOW TO QUIT A JOB,BREAK UP WITH A LOVER,AND CONFRONT A FRIENDWITHOUT RUINING THEFRIENDSHIP...EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...when to try harder... andWHEN TO WALK AWAY...EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...that she can't change thelength of her calves, thewidth of her hips, or thenature of herparents...EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...that her childhood maynot have been perfect...butits over...EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...what she would andwouldn'tdo for love or more...EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...how to live alone... even ifshe doesn't like it...EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...whom she can trust,whom she can't,and why she shouldn'ttake it personally...EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... where to go...be it to her best friend's kitchentable...or a charming inn in thewoods...when her soulneeds soothing...EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...what she can and can'taccomplish in a day...a month...and a year...Things aren't always what they seem."Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don't turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that every out come is always to your advantage. You just might not know it until some time later... Some people come into our lives and quickly go.. Some people become friends and stay awhile...leaving beautiful footprints on our hearts... and we are never quite the same because we have made a good friend!!Yesterday is history. Tomorrow a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it's called the present!I think this is special...live and savor every moment... This is not a dress rehearsal!Right Now - -somebody is thinking of you. -somebody is caring about you. -somebody misses you -somebody wants to talk to you. -somebody wants to be with you. -somebody hopes you aren't in trouble. -somebody is thankful for the support you have provided. -somebody wants to hold your hand. -somebody hopes everything turns out all right. -somebody wants you to be happy. -somebody wants you to find him/her. -somebody is celebrating your successes. -somebody wants to give you a gift. -somebody thinks that you ARE a gift. -somebody loves you. -somebody admires your strength. -somebody is thinking of you and smiling. -somebody wants to be your shoulder to cry on. Never take away anyone's hope. That may be all they have.

MY SON...THE AIR THAT I BREATHE...THE REASON I LIVE....To My ChildJust for this morning, I am going to smile when I see your face and laugh when I feel like crying.Just for this morning, I will let you choose what you want to wear, and smile and say how perfect it is. Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and pick you up and take you to the park to play.Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles..Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck, and I will buy you one if he comes by.Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you trying to fix them.Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys..Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about how you were born and how much I love you.Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry.Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars.Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and miss my favorite TV shows.Just for this evening when I run my finger through your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given.I will think about the mothers and fathers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting their children's graves instead of their bedrooms, and mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that they can't handle it anymore.And when I kiss you good night I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for you, and ask him for nothing, except one more day..............
