"Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt. Sing like nobody's listening; live like it's heaven on earth." -- Mark Twain -–
I know these words are hard to live by, but i believe they're the basic recipe for a happy life. Which we're all striving for (right?)
"**How people treat you is their KARMA... how you react is YOURS**"
"I believe things happen for a reason, People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so you can appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually start to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart, so better things can fall together."
Marilyn Monroe
I'm A Christian
When I say ... "I am a Christian,"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'.
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."
When I say ."I am a Christian,"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble,
and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say ... "I am a Christian,"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak,
and need HIS strength to carry on.
When I say ... "I am a Christian,"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed,
and need God to clean my mess.
When I say ... "I am a Christian,"
I'm not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are far too visible,
but God believes I am worth it.
When I say ... "I am a Christian,"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches,
so I call upon His name.
When I say ... "I am a Christian,"
I'm not holier than thou.
I'm just a simple sinner
who received God's good grace somehow.

This poem has been attributed to Dr Maya Angelou - However, I cannot find it in any of her works. I did find a poem entitled "When I Say I’m a Christian" By Carol Wimmer - that is very similar, therefore I will give her credit for her poem. I'm not sure where the changes came from, but they are good inspiring words that capture what I feel. Hope you enjoyed it.".
