i love this....


All dressed up in love, and I'm cool in the summer, warm in the winter


There's a lesson that I keep learning, but still forget to put into practice. Perhaps that's not right; I think I've learned it well, but have to constantly keep re-evaluating my life and, in particular, the people in it, in light of that lesson.


It's such a simple lesson: You only have to spend time with people who make you feel better. Anyone who doesn't - even if they used to, but they don't anymore - isn't worth the drain on your energy. And that is nothing to feel guilty about.


So I am determined to begin ever new again, to start afresh, and fill my life with people who cheer me up, not bring me down.


...And people I should spend more time with:

“People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you’ve got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and what you believe in; It was never between you and them anyway.”
-Mother Theresa


So fill your days with what you believe in...
