I came across this the other day and have thought
much about these words…
Maybe…we were supposed to meet the
wrong people before meeting the right one so that, when
we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be
grateful for that gift.
Maybe…when the door of happiness
closes, another opens; but often times, we look so long
at the closed door that we don’t even see the new one
which has been opened for us.
Maybe…it is true that we don’t know
what we have until we lose it, but it is also true that
we don’t know what we have been missing until it
arrives.
Maybe…the happiest of people don’t
necessarily have the best of everything; they just make
the most of everything that comes along their way,
thanking God for the things they possess that money
cannot buy!
Maybe…the brightest future will
always be based on a forgotten past; after all, you
can’t go successfully in life until you let go of your
past mistakes, failures, and heartaches.
Maybe…you should dream what you want to
dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be;
because you have only one life and one chance to do all
the things you dream of, and want to do. (my “bucket
list” soon coming)
Maybe…there are moments in life when
you miss someone- a parent, (CW and my mother Elaine) a
spouse, a friend, a child- so much that you just want to
pick them from your dreams and hug them for real, so
that once they are around you appreciate them more.
Maybe…the best kind of friend is the
kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a
word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best
conversation you’ve ever had.
Maybe…you should always try to put
yourself in others’ shoes. If you feel that something
could hurt you, it probably will hurt the other person
too. (I am so sorry that I have been hurtful in my life)
Maybe…you should do something nice
for someone every single day, even if it’s simply to
leave them alone.
Maybe…giving someone all your love
is never an assurance that they will love you back.
Don’t expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in
their heart; but if it doesn’t, be content that it grew
in yours. (Just Let It Unfold)
Maybe…happiness waits for all those
who cry, all those who hurt, all those who have
searched, and all those who have tried, for only they
can appreciate the importance of all the people who have
touched their lives.
Maybe…you shouldn’t go for looks; they
can deceive; don’t go for wealth even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes
only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the
one who makes your heart smile. (I love you Dana)
Maybe…you should hope for enough
happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you
strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope
to keep you happy.
Maybe…you should try to live your life
to the fullest because when you were born, you were
crying and everyone around you was smiling. But when you
die, you can be the one who is smiling and everyone
around you is crying. (Being born once is not enough,
you need to be born again!)
