Love and Life

A much better "note in bottle thrown out to sea"!! I didn't actually write
all this mushy stuff. Someone sent it to me.

< It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is more
< painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person
< know how you feel.
< Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one
< so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to
< begrateful for that gift.
< Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, and the romance in a
< relationship and find out you still care for that person.
<
< A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only
< to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to
< let go.
< 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.
< It's true the we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also
< true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
<
< Giving someone all your love is never assurance that they'll 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 it grew in yours. There are things
< you'd love to hear that you would never hear from the person whom you
< would like to hear them from, but don't be so deaf as not to hear it from
< the one who says it from his heart.
<
< Never say good-bye if you still want to try
< never give up if you still feel you can go on
< never say you don't love a person anymore if you can't let go
< Love comes to those who still hope
< although they've been disappointed,
< There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just
< want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real! Hope you dream
< of that special someone. 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 want to do.
<
< Always put yourself in others' shoes.
< If you feel that it hurts you,
< it probably hurts the person too.
< A careless word may kindle strife
< a cruel word may wreck a life;
< a timely word may level stress;
< a loving word may heal and bless.
<
< The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they
< just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness
< lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those
< who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who
< have touched their lives.
< Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear The
< brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on
< well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
< When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.
< Live your life so that when you die,
< you're the one who is smiling
< and everyone around you is crying.
