thoughts I like

The Brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You can't go on well in life until you let go of all of your past failures and heartaches.
---Unknown

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched...but are felt in the heart.
---Helen Keller
The first step to greatness is to be honest.
---Johnson

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
---Thomas Merton

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
---Leo Buscaglia

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
---Serenity Prayer

Our greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
---Confucious

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
---Unknown

The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while they're alive.
---O.A. Battista

He who asks, is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.
---Chinese Proverb

Have great hopes and dare to go all out for them. Have great dreams and dare to live them. Have tremendous expectations and believe in them.
---Norman Vincent Peale

We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.
---Fredrick Koeing

No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate, and love is now.
---Leo Buscaglia

People love others not for who they are, but for how they make them feel.
---Irwin Federman

You have powers you never dreamed of. You can do things you never thought you could do. There are no limitations in what you can do except the limitations of your own mind.
---Darwin P. Kingsley

Sometimes you gotta stop and remember that your not gonna live forever. Be young, think smart, stay true and just follow your heart.
---Unknown

True wealth can not be found in your bank account. It can only be found in those you call friend. Those with whom you share your deepest feelings. And those who accept you for who you really are.
---Mary Vandergrift

Don't be afraid to fail because only through failure do you learn to succeed.
---Unknown

The hardest part of all is learning to be a well of affection, and not a fountain; to show them we love them not when we feel like it, but when they do.
---Nan Fairbother

Genuine human friendship is on the basis of human affection, irrespective of your position. Therefore, the more you show concern about the welfare and the rights of others, the more you have a genuine friend. The more you remain open and sincere, then ultimately more benefits will come to you. If you forget or do not bother about others, then eventually you will lose your own benefit.
---HH The Dalai Lama

Stop worrying about missed opportunities and start looking for new ones.
---Pei

Whoever has a heart full of love always has something to give.
---Pope John XXIII

You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.
---Henry Drummond

When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.
---Lao-Tzu

Laugh, Live, Smile, and Love... for what you get out of life comes from what you put in.
---Unknown

The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.
---Vince Lombardi

You wouldn't worry so much about what people really thought of you if you knew just how seldom they actually do.
---Unknown

Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks about changing themselves.
---John Randolph

The trigger finger on those sewing threads ......

I have the itch to craft and lack the time. So, like so many things I am lining up the projects and bagging each project for the magic 5-10 minutes that might flash by if I am not prepared for my future craftness...

So as I was surfing the net I collected this list that I am sharing with you here--just in case the urge strikes you too:

"When you bring a child into the world as a parent YOU are this child's hero. Through thick and thin and all that life may bring to you---this child will seek a safe place with YOU. YOU must be this child's protector. It is YOUR job to keep them secure. YOUR job is to love them and be their cheerleader! YOU must put YOUR child before all of YOUR wants and YOUR needs. This child is a gift from God. Give this child back to God as an adult enriched and fulfilled for an exceptional life. Be an inspirational teacher not just in your words but your actions, too! Respect YOUR child. Expect nothing back. Love your child"
