Howze "Every day we are born again, what we do today is what matters most." - Rick "There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved." - George Sand 'The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.' A man’s character is his destiny. Commitment in the face of adversity adds character. I am not going to say any more than I'm your Forrest. Sleep well. - td When written in Chinese, the word "crisis" is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity.' “To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.” "So many men, so few aspirin!" - Author Unknown From the mouths of babes... Anthony (a third grader) said, "I like Samantha. She makes my body feel funny all over. But, that's ok. It's supposed to be like that!"

ced - "We're going out, but it's ok, it's nothing sexual, YET!" (Side note from within my brain: OMG - We need an industrial sized box of condoms!) "Thank you for being the peace maker." - Nana After a whole week of lethargia, Logan emerged and said, "Gee Ms. Trahan, you sure are tense!" as I was fussing at the rest of the class! Logan, in the middle of the third test of the day said, "I need a drink." My response after yet another rough week at work, "You know, Logan, I often feel that way myself." My class was full of giggles! Anthony V, age 12- just before his double lung transplant - "Please, always pray for my donor and their family!" --- some people just know what's really important. Anthony V - "Well I am just very great full that the donor was willing the give their lungs to someone who needed them. And everyday I think "Thank you so much for my new lungs God". Please continue to pray for me, my Family AND the Donor and their family for giving me a new life." I'm using stumbling blocks as stepping stones. - Comfort & Crazy - per Alton After observing my work during Open House, Eric mused..."You know Mom, you're job sucks, but you're really good at it!" After I thanked him, he told me not to let it go to my head! LOL "My patient just said her catheter makes her want to have sex!" - Hailey You're hotter than a new set of mud tires! - Bobby Your concern about me is becoming a bridge .......between my present and my future. recoulley Love the ones who treat you right,forget about the ones who don't, and believe that things happen for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it would be easy; they just promised it would be worth it. You are beautiful, no matter what size, shape, or color you are. Love yourself for you, embrace your individuality and own it.". More about Joan:"I don't want to be the one left standing without a chair when the music stops! Hmmmmm..... Just ask...".
