You can't control how others act. You can control how you react.

Listen to the Mustn'ts


Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me--
Anything can happen child,
ANYTHING can be.

                          ~Shel Silverstein

                                                                                               ~Ed Furgol

“I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things:
a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life. I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

                                                                                           ~Maya Angelou

“A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.”


                                                                                            ~Herm Albright

"Ever notice how 'What the hell' is always the right answer?"


                                                                                             ~ Marilyn Monroe

"Life's disappointments are harder to take when you don't know any swear words."
                                                                ~ Calvin (Calvin and Hobbes)
