One of Vickie's favorite quotes is:"Someday your prince charming will come. Mine just took a wrong turn, got lost, and is too stubborn to ask for directions.
You can shed tears that he is gone,
or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all he's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him only that he is gone,
or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what he'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
“Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the Guy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'”
A true friend is that bit more special than a good friend. A true friend will support you even if it hurts their own interest. A true friend will understand your motives and needs and will be with you without any scrutiny or criticism. They will come forward to help without any demands and be with us in times of need without showing it or expecting anything in return.
I believe that friends are quiet angels who sit on our shoulders and lift our wings when we forget how to fly.
Treat others as you want them to treat you because what goes around comes around..
Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve. - Dr. Napoleon Hill
Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
Don't Quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
If I could be any part of you, I’d be your tears. To be conceived in your heart, born in your eyes, live on your cheeks, and die on your lips.
if you cant get someone off your mind they are probably supposed to be there!
To the world you may be but one, but to one you might be the world.
It requires wisdom to understand wisdom; the music is nothing if the audience is deaf.".
