| A Creed For Positive Living 1. Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things. 2. Make the best of your circumstances. No one has everything and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with the gladness of life. 3. Don't take yourself too seriously. Don't think that somehow you should be protected from misfortunes that befall others. 4. You can't please everybody. Don't let criticism worry you. 5. Don't let your neighbor set your standards. Be yourself. 6. Do things that you enjoy doing, but stay out of debt. 7. Don't borrow trouble. Imaginary things are harder to bear than actual ones. 8. Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish enmities and grudges. Avoid people who make you unhappy. 9. Have many interests. If you can't travel, read about new places. 10. Don't hold post-mortems. Don't spend your life brooding over sorrows and mistakes. Don't be the one who never gets over things. 11. Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself. 12. Keep busy at something. A very busy person never has time to be unhappy. ~Robert Louis Stevenson |

| Forever Friend Friends are hard to come by Especially one you can trust. It�s when you find that true friend That you learn to care and love. Someone to laugh with Someone to cry with Someone to joke with Someone to understand you Someone to accept you for you Someone to turn to when you're lost and alone Someone to always be there in times of need No matter what the problem may be. True friends are the ones that never let you down; They stand close by your side. Through the good, bad, happy, and sad. True friends will love you, for always. In the morning when the sun Just begins to light the day, I am awakened with a bright feeling And my first thoughts are of you. At night I stare at the dark trees Silhouetted against the quiet stars, I am entranced into a complete serenity And my last thoughts are of you. You're always on my mind and in my heart. A part of you has grown in me, Together forever we shall be. Never will we be apart Maybe in distance But not in heart. |
