I was searching for a daily quote this morning and started reading a bunch of mushy stuff and got all sentimental and then started to get depressed and then I thought, "Hey, it's not even 7:00am yet, no need to get depressed". So, I decided to take those depressing little thoughts and somehow try to turn them into something inspirational...so here goes.

Some things I have learned along the way...........

Always...always kiss your loved one's goodbye and tell them you love them...it may be the last time you ever see them

If you can brag that you and your significant other have never argued, there is probably a lot more wrong with your realtionship than you will ever know

No matter how ill you are, how upset you are, how depressed or angry you are, being kind and considerate to others will make you feel better from the inside out.

I have learned to love freely, open-heartedly and unconditionally.

I have learned to forgive, truly forgive. I have no time in my life for resentment.

I have learned that it does not do me any good to feel that others take advantage of me or expect too much from me. I give as much as I can and then a little more....and I do it willingly. And then I thank God that I was able to do it.

I recently just learned that when you thought you knew the limits of love, a grandchild comes along and you find out there are no limits.

I now know by experience to try not to take anything personally and think with an open-mind

After being married over twenty years, I have finally realized that sometimes I may actually be in the wrong too.

I have learned that I wasted a lot of time in my life questioning things that had no answer.

And finally, I have learned that whenever I wished for something bad to happen to someone that hurt me and it actually happened, that I felt even worse.

Awesome words to live by, Kelly!

I have changed my mind on this one...I am always right and he is always wrong!!

I have learned some new things since I originally wrote this:

I have learned that the purest and most simple things usually yield the most pleasure.

I will explain that thought......have you ever noticed that just a touch or smile from a tiny baby can make you feel better? Or how about a nice quiet walk down a country road? What can be purer or more simple? And I cannot think of anything that makes me feel any better.
