to you, my friends

There are moments in life when you love & miss someone so much

that you just want to pick them from your dreams

and hug them for real! And to know that depth of love
is truly as wonderful as life itself.

When one door closes, another opens;
but often times we look so long at the
closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

Don't love for looks; they can deceive.
Don't love for wealth; even that fades away.
Love someone who makes you smile,
because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
But remember to always have a smile within your own heart first.

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 and
enough hope to make you happy.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the most of everything that they have.

The brightest future will always be based on a darker past;
you can't go forward 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 at the end,
you're the one who is smiling and everyone
around you is crying.

Please send this message to those people who mean something to you ;

to those who have touched your life in one way or another;
to those who make you smile when you really need it;
to those who make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down;
to those whose friendship you appreciate;
to those who are so meaningful in your life.
