Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do it well; whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself completely; in great aims and in small I have always thoroughly been in earnest.

Charles Dickens

A wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other.

Charles Dickens

A loving heart is the truest wisdom.

Charles Dickens

A day wasted on others is not wasted on one's self.

Charles Dickens

Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”--Corinthians

Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps  if you are not willing to move your feet.

Dear God:

this is my friend, whom I love and this is my prayer for her

Help her live her life to the fullest.

Please promote her and cause her to excel above her expectations.

Help her to shine in the darkest places where it is impossible to love.

Protect her at all times, lift her up when she needs you the most,

and let her know when she walks with you, She will always be safe.

Love you Girl!

A Birth Certificate shows that we were born

A Death Certificate shows that we died

Pictures show that we lived!

Have a seat . Relax .. . .

And read this slowly.

I Believe...

That just because two people argue,

It doesn't mean they don't love each other.

And just because they don't argue,

It doesn't mean they do love each other.

I Believe...

That we don't have to change friends if

We understand that friends change.

I Believe....

That no matter how good a friend is,

they're going to hurt you every once in a while

and you must forgive them for that.

I Believe....

That true friendship continues to grow,

even over the longest distance.

Same goes for true love.

I Believe....

That you can do something in an instant

That will give you heartache for life.

I Believe....

That it's taking me a long time

To become the person I want to be.

I Believe...

That you should always leave loved ones with

Loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I Believe....

That you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I Believe....

That we are responsible for what

We do, no matter how we feel.

I Believe...

That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I Believe...

That heroes are the people who do what has to be done

when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I Believe....

That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

I Believe....

That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be

the ones to help you get back up.

I Believe...

That sometimes when I'm angry

I have the right to be angry,

But that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I Believe....

That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had

And what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays

you've celebrated.

I Believe.....

That it isn't always enough,

to be forgiven by others.

Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I Believe...

That no matter how bad your heart is broken

the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I Believe....

That our background and circumstances

may have influenced who we are,

But, we are responsible for who we become.

I Believe...

That you shouldn't be so eager to find

Out a secret. It could change your life Forever.

I Believe....

Two people can look at the exact same

Thing and see something totally different.

I Believe...

That your life can be changed in a matter of

Hours by people who don't even know you.

I Believe...

That even when you think you have no more to give,

When a friend cries out to you -

you will find the strength to help.

I Believe...

That credentials on the wall

do not make you a decent human being.

I believe...

'The happiest of people don't necessarily

have the best of everything;

They just make the most of everything they have.

Remember: Always let your conscience be your guide.

 - Pinocchio

The past can hurt. You can either run from it or learn from it.

- The Lion King

Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Do your ears hang low?


Do they wobble to and fro?

Can you tie them in a knot?

Can you tie them in a bow?

Can you throw them o'er your shoulder

Like a Continental Soldier?

Do your ears hang low?



Do your ears hang high?

Do they reach up to the sky?

Do they wrinkle when they're wet?

Do they straighten when they're dry?

Can you wave them at your neighbor

With an element of flavor?

Do your ears hang high?



Do your ears hang wide?

Do they flap from side to side?

Do they wave in the breeze

From the slightest little sneeze?

Can you soar above the nation

With a feeling of elevation?

Do your ears hang wide?



Do your ears fall off

When you give a great big cough?

Do they lie there on the ground

Or bounce up at every sound?

Can you stick them in your pocket

Just like Davy Crocket?

Do your ears fall off?



Does your tongue hang down?

Does it flop all around?

Can you tie it in a knot?

Can you tie it in a bow?

Can you throw it o'er your shoulder

Like a Continental Soldier?

Does your tongue hang down?



Does your nose hang low?

Does it wiggle to and fro?

Can you tie it in a knot?

Can you tie it in a bow?

Can you throw it o'er your shoulder

Like a Continental Soldier?

Does your nose hang low?



Do your eyes pop out?

Do they bounce all about?

Can you tie them in a knot?

Can you tie them in a bow?

Can you throw them o'er your shoulder

Like a Continental Soldier?

Do your eyes pop out?

Been Here All Along Lyrics
By Miley Cyrus


Sun rise and I lift up my head then I smile at your picture sitting next to my bed
Sun set and you’re feeling okay cause you smile at the letter that I sent you today
Cant wait till I see you again and we both say remember when
The band played on the fourth of July and you held me on your shoulders way up high
Your still there for me
Wherever there might be
And if an ocean lies between us I’ll send a message across the sea
That you can’t sleep tonight knowing it’s all right
I believe that you’re listening to my song
You’re with me
You’ve been here all along
You’ve been here all along
Back then you walked me to school told me to be careful and to follow the rules
Fast forward you taught me to drive you gave me the keys and we went for a ride
And I cant wait till I see you again and we both say remember when
I’m holding on to moments like that and I know that their coming back
Your still there for me
Wherever there might be
And if an ocean lies between us I’ll send a message across the sea
That you can’t sleep tonight knowing It’s all right
I believe that you’re listening to my song
You’re with me
You’ve been here all along
You’ve been here all along
Yeah
All along the way I keep you in my heart and in my prayers
You’ll always be the one who cares the most
Counting all the days
I see you running up to say, “ I missed you”
I missed you
Your still there for me
Wherever there might be
And if an ocean lies between us I’ll send a message across the sea
That you can’t sleep tonight knowing It’s alright
I believed that you’re listening to my song
Your still there for me
Wherever there might be
And if an ocean lies between us I’ll send a message across the sea
That you can’t sleep tonight knowing It’s alright
I believed that you’re listening to my song
You’re with me
Cause you’re with me
You’ve been here all along
You’ve been here all along
