Post-Thanksgiving reflections …

November 27, 2009

We received this from a friend on T-Day.  Several passages resonated with me.  Worth reading, even when it’s not Thanksgiving

* * * * *

I Believe… That just because two people argue, doesn’t mean they don’t love each other, and just because they don’t argue, doesn’t mean they do love each other.  

I Believe… That we don’t have to change friends if we understand that friends change.  

I Believe… That no matter how good a friend is, they’re going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.    

I Believe… That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.    

I Believe… That it’s taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.  

I Believe… That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.  

I Believe… That you can keep going long after you think you can’t.  

I Believe… That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.  

I Believe…. That either you control your attitude or it controls you.    

I Believe… That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.  

I Believe… That money is a lousy way of keeping score.  

I Believe… That my best friend and I can do anything, or nothing, and have the best time.    

I Believe… That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you’re down, will be the ones to help you get back up.    

I Believe… That sometimes when I’m angry I have the right to be angry,  but that doesn’t give me the right to be cruel.  

I Believe… That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you’ve had, and what you’ve learned from them…..and less to do with how many birthdays you’ve celebrated.    

I Believe… That it isn’t always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.  

I Believe… That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn’t stop for your grief.    

I Believe… That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.  

I Believe… Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.  

I Believe… That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don’t even know you.  

I Believe… That even when you think you have no more to give, if a friend cries out to you…….you will find the strength to help.  

I Believe… That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.    

I Believe… That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.  

I Believe…. That the happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; They just make the most of everything.      

I thank God for all the wonderful people who help us through-out the journey of life.
