Wonderful Life Lessons

I've learned...

that you can do something in an instant
that you will give you heartache for life.

that you should always leave loved ones with
loving words. It may be the last time you see
them.

that either you control your attitude or it 
controls you.

that regardless of how hot and steamy a
relationship is at first, the passion fades
and there had better something else to take
its place.

that heroes are the people who do what
has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless
of the consequences.

that money is a lousy way of keeping score.

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

that sometimes the people you expect to kick you
when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.


that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry,
but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest
distance. Same goes for true love.
