Got this in e-mail...I've seen it before, but it still rings true...
Maybe"
Maybe God wanted us to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so
that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful
for that gift.
Maybe when the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we
look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one that has been
opened for us.
Maybe the best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing
with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best
conversation you've ever had.
Maybe it is true that we don't know what we have got until we lose it, but
it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it
arrives.
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you
back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart;
but if it does not, be content it grew in yours.
It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone,
and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades
away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to
make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want
to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real.
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to
be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you
want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you
strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.
Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it
probably hurts the other person, too.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they
just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched,
and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of
people who have touched their lives.
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go
on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and
everyone around you is crying.
