I believe
Unknown

I believe in miracles and dreams that will come true.
I believe in tender moments and friendship, through and through.

I believe in stardust and moonbeams all aglow.
I believe there's magic and more there than we know.

I believe in reaching out
and touching from the heart.

I believe that if we touch,
a gift we can impart.

I believe that if you cry
your tears are not in vain.
And when you are sad and lonely,
others know your pain.

I believe that when we laugh
a sparkle starts to shine.

And I just know that spark will spread
from more hearts than just mine.

I believe that hidden
in the quiet of the night,
there's magic moths and gypsies
a fairy and a sprite.

I believe that if you dance
the dances of your heart,
that greater happiness will find
a brand new way to start.

I believe the gifts you have
are there for you to share
And when you give them from the heart,
the whole world knows your care.

I believe that if you give,
even just to one,
that gift will grow in magnitude
before the day is done.

I believe that comfort comes
from giving part of me.
And if I share with others,
there's more for all to see.

I believe that love is still
the greatest gift of all
and when it's given from the
heart then not one of us will fall.

I believe that each life affects another
We may not always realize
that every thing we do,
affects not only our lives
but touches others, too!

For a little bit of thoughtfulness
that shows someone you care,
creates a ray of sunshine
for both of you to share.

Yes, every time you offer
someone a helping hand...
Every time you show a friend
you care and understand...

Every time you have
a kind and gentle word to give...
You help someone find beauty
in this precious life we live.

For happiness brings happiness
and loving ways bring love;
And Giving is the treasure
that contentment is made of.

I've learned
Maya Angelou

I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it
seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.'

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by
the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day,
lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

I've learned that regardless of your relationship with
your parents, you'll miss them when
they're gone from your life.

I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life.'

I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.'

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with
a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able
to throw some things back...

I've learned that whenever I decide something with
an open heart, I usually make the right decision.

I've learned that even when I have pains,
I don't have to be one.

I've learned that every day you should reach out and
touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly
pat on the back...

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn...

I've learned that people will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did, but people will never
forget how you made them feel.

A Creed To Live By
Nancy Sims

Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.

It is because we are different that each of us are special.
Don't set your goals by what other people deem important.
Only do what is best for you.

Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life, for without them
life is meaningless.

Don't let life slip through your fingers by living in
the past or in the future. By living one day at a time
you live all 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 is impossible.
The fastest way to lose love is to hold to it 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 not only
where you have been, but also where you are going.

Life is not a race, but a journey to be savoured each step of the way.
