On a positive note, I've learned that no matter what happens or how bad it seems
TODAY, life goes on, and it will be better TOMORROW.

a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Holiday lights.

You need to be able to throw something back.

But, if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work,

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 that human touch - holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn...

All the best always this 2003,

Eangelica

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you.
All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in.
I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just assholes.
I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes
suspicion, not proof, to destroy it. I've learned that you can get by on
charm for about fifteen minutes.
After that, you'd better have a big weenie.
I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are
more screwed up than you think.
I've learned that you can keep puking long after you think you're finished.
I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are
celebrities.
I've learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at
first,
the passion fades, and there had better be a lot of money to take its place.
I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you
too soon
and all the less important ones just never go away.
Pass this along to 5 friends...trust me, they'll appreciate it. Who knows,
maybe something good will happen.
If not...tough shit!!
