Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of the creative effort.
We should consider every day lost, on which we have not danced at least once. - Friedrich Nietzsche
THANKFUL
We are blessed.
Be kind to unkind people, they need it the most.
Having someone to love is family, having somewhere to go is home, having both is a blessing.
Thank you for the food before us, the friends beside us, and thelove between us.
There is always, always, something to be thankful for.
Everyday is a gift.
LOVE
I love you to the moon and back again, to infinity and beyond, forever and ever.
Marriage requires falling in love many times...always with the same person.
Always kiss me goodnight.
I love you to the moon and back.
It doesn't matter where you go in life. It's who you have beside you.
It's never too late to live happily ever after.
You are my sunshine.
I love you more today than I did yesterday. ('cause yesterday you really ticked me off)
All because two people fell in love.
I have learned that being with those I love is enough.
May we always laugh together, cry together, and be there for each other....
Grow old with me. The best is yet to be.
Everyone smiles in the same language.
Love is the flower you've got to let grow. - John Lennon
FAITH
Faith will open doors.
God doesn't give us what we can't handle; Gold helps us handle what we are given.
Live simply. Love generously. Speak kindly. Care deeply. Leave the rest to God.
Hope. Faith. Love
God didn't promise days without rain, laughter without sorrow, nor sun without rain. But he did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.
Sometimes God calms the storm...sometimes he lets teh storm rage and calms the child.
Without faith nothing is possible. ...with it, nothing is impossible
Prayer is less about changing the world...and more about changing ourselves
LIFE & HAPPINESS
It is what it is.
I hate four letter words: WASH, COOK, DUST, IRON
Live well, laugh often, love much.
Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want but the realization of how much you already have.
Life may not always be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.
Never let yesterday fill up today.
Live in such a way that those who know you but don't know God, will come to know God because they know you....
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect. It means you decide to see beyond the imperfections.
Whatever you are...be a good one. - Abe Lincoln
MOTTO TO LIVE BY: Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hadn, latte in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "Woo-Hoo, what a ride!"
Some people make things happen, some watch things happen, and some wonder at the end of their life, "What happened?"
There is a time and a place for everything.
The joy that you give to others is the joy that comes back to you.
Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments taht take our breath away.
Forgive and forget.
Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.
The most important things in life aren't things.
If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done.
If you carry your own sunshine with you, there will be fewer dark places in your life.
Happiness isn't found in things you possess, but in what you have the courage to release.

Families are like old quilts. Although they tend to unravel at times each can be stitched back together with love.
The love in our family flows strong and deep leaving us memories to treasure and keep.

Love overflows and joy never ends in a home thats blessed with family and friends.
A house is made of boards and beams. A home is made of love and dreams.

the moon laughs and whispers,
tis near Halloween.

On All Hallow Eve
What lots of fun we can make,
With apples to bob,
And nuts on the hob,
And a ring-and-thimble cake.

CHRISTMAS
Always keep Christmas in your heart.
It is Christmas in the herat that puts Christmas in the air.
Christmas is not in the presents, but in the presence.

Everytime we love, every time we give, its Christmas
Joy to the World.

SISTERS
I smile because you are my sister, I laugh because you can do nothing about it.
WINE
If you don't like the food...have more wine.
Conserve water - drink wine.
Wine lovers age better.
Wine is the answer....I don't remember the question.
CHOCOLATE
Exercise is a dirty word...every time I hear it, I wash my mouth out with chocolate. I could give up chocolate, but I'm not a quiter. A day without chocolate is a day without sunshine. Chocolate in the morning is what gets moms through the days.
