Maybe God wants us to meet a\nfew wrong people before meeting the right one so that\nwhen we finally meet the right person, we will know\nhow to be grateful for that gift.When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but\noften times we look so long at the closed door that we don't\nsee the one which has been opened for us.\nThe best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a\nporch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away\nfeeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.\nIt's true that we don't know what we've\ngot until we lose it, but it's also true\nthat we don't know what we've been\nmissing until it arrives.\nDon't go for looks; they can deceive.\nDon't go for wealth; even that fades away.\nGo for someone who makes you smile\nbecause it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.\nFind the one that makes your heart smile.\nMay you have enough happiness to make you sweet,\nenough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow\nto keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.\nAlways put yourself in others' shoes.\nIf you feel that it hurts you,\nit probably hurts the other person, too.\nThe happiest of people don't necessarily\nhave the best of everything;\nthey just make the most of everything that\ncomes along their way.\nWhen you were born, you were crying and\neveryone around you was smiling.\nLive your life so that when you die,\nyou're the one who is smiling and\neveryone around you is crying.\nPlease send this message to those people who\nmean something to you, to those\nwho have touched your\nlife in one way or another, to those who make\nyou smile when you really need it, to those\nthat make you see the brighter side of things\nwhen you are really down, to those who you want to\nlet them know that you\nappreciate their friendship.\nAnd if you don't, don't worry, nothing bad will\nhappen to you, but you may just miss out on the\nopportunity to brighten someone's day with this.\n. . . nice words (that I think you would enjoy) . . .
