Memories

Memories remind us
That nothing lasts for ever.
Time is precious and
should not be wasted.
Enjoy life and remember
don't count the days,
make the days count.

Life Is Special

Life is very special
For those with eyes to see,
The beauty that surrounds them
in their friends and family.
This treasure can't be measured,
It makes one rich beyond compare,
Crowning life with dignity,
For love and trust are gifts so rare.

~ Sylvia Fraser

Life is made up of special moments which make it worth living... There are many cherished moments that are missed due to the stress and fast pace of daily living... We must slow down and remember how precious it is to be alive and to love...

Cherish every moment and every person in your life, because you never know when will be the last time you see someone. Life is fragile. Take nothing and no one for granted.

The best things in life are the people you love, the places you've seen, and the memories you've made along the way.

Collect moments not things! Take time to cherish these special moments.

Never Regret

a day in your life:
good days give happiness,
bad days give experience,
worst days give lessons,
and best days give memories

Life is Short

Life is short, live it.
Love is rare, grab it.
Anger is bad, dump it.
Fear is awful, face it.
Memories are sweet
Cherish them...

If You Think Positively

Sound Becomes Music
Movement Becomes Dance,
Smile Becomes Laughter,
Mind Becomes Meditation
And Life Becomes A Celebration.......

Four Things You Can Never Get Back

The stone after it's thrown.
The word after it's said.
The moment after it's missed.
The time after it's gone.

Have you ever had a memory that sneaks out of your eye and rolls down your cheek?
