I thought this a very special message - one that was perfect for
everyone, not just a special few. So take a moment and read this; pass
it along and try to abide by these five simple rules.

Thanks,

Every once in awhile something really nice crosses your computer
screen...like this..... Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

No one can go back and make a brand new start. Anyone can start from now
and make a brand new ending.

God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun
without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the
tears, and light for the way.

Disappointments are like road bumps, they slow you down a bit but you
enjoy the smooth road afterwards.

Don't stay on the bumps too long. Move on!

When you feel down because you didn't get what you want, just sit tight
and be happy, because God has thought of something better to give you.

When something happens to you, good or bad, consider what it means.
There's a purpose to life's events, to teach you how to laugh more or
not to cry too hard.

You can't make someone love you, all you can do is be someone who can be
loved, the rest is up to the person to realize your worth.

It's better to lose your pride to the one you love, than to lose the one
you love because of pride.

We spend too much time looking for the right person to love or finding
fault with those we already love, when instead we should be perfecting
the love we give.

Never abandon an old friend. You will never find one who can take his
place. Friendship is like wine, it gets better as it grows older.
