But never forget to remember,
The things that made you glad.
Always remember to forget,
The friends that proved untrue.
But never forget to remember,
Those that stuck by you.
Always remember to forget
The troubles that passed away,
But never forget to remember
The Blessings that come each day.

Making a Difference..a humorous poem with a poignant point
A million starfish
By the tide were landed
When the sun arose, they would die,
On the beach, stranded
A boy said he must help
I said you can't make a difference,
Hardly any
It's a waste of time
there are just too many.
He picked one up and threw it into the sea
In an instant, it was gone
Well, he said
I think I've made a big difference..
to that one.
He picked up another
little one
and threw it in the sea
And I think I've made a difference to that one.
With due deference
I joined him,
Making a difference
It's just possible that one of those rescued starfish,
This is my heartfelt wish,
went on to become the
President of the United States of American Starfish

One tree can start a forest,
One bird can herald spring,
One smile can begin a friendship,
One hand can lift a soul,
One star can guide a ship at sea,
One word can frame the goal,
One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam can light a room,
One candle can wipe out darkness,
One laugh can conquer gloom,
One hope can raise our spirits,
One touch can show you care,
One voice can wake up everybody,
One life can make the difference,
You see it's up to you!

Life is a gift, accept it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is a mystery, unfold it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a struggle, face it.
Life is beauty, praise it.
Life is a puzzle, solve it.
Life is opportunity, take it.
Life is sorrowful, experience it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a goal, achieve it.
Life is a mission, fulfill it.

You don't get to choose how you're going to die, or when.
You can only decide how you're going to live now.
Joan Baez
**
If there is a future there is time for mending-
Time to see your troubles coming to an ending.
Life is never hopeless however great your sorrow-
If you're looking forward to a new tomorrow.
If there is time for wishing then there is time for hoping-
When through doubt and darkness you are blindly groping.
Though the heart be heavy and hurt you may be feeling-
If there is time for praying there is time for healing.
So if through your window there is a new day breaking-
Thank God for the promise, though mind and soul be aching,
If with harvest over there is grain enough for gleaning-
There is a new tomorrow and life still has meaning.

When all else fails, read the instructions.

Don’t limit yourself.
Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do.
You can go as far as your mind lets you.
What you believe, remember, you can achieve.
Mary Kay Ash

No matter what our age or condition,
there are still untapped possibilities within us
and new beauty waiting to be born.
Dr. Dale Turner

Aerodynamically, the bumblebee shouldn't be able to fly,
but the bumblebee doesn't know that so it goes on flying anyway.

All misfortune is but a stepping stone to fortune.
Henry David Thoreau
**
If you have made mistakes...
there is always another chance for you...
You may have a fresh start any moment you choose,
for this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down,
but the staying down.
Mary Pickford
**
If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light.
Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears.
Glenn Clark

If your ship doesn't come in, swim out to it.
