Believe


A Birth Certificate shows that we were born

A Death Certificate shows that we died

Pictures show that we lived!

Have a seat . . . Relax . . . And read this slowly.



I Believe...

That just because two people argue,

it doesn't mean they don't love each other.

And just because they don't argue,

it 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 you can do something in an instant

that will give you heartache for life.



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...

That you shouldn't be so eager to find

out a secret. It could change your life Forever.



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, when

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.



The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything:

they just make the most of everything.

So..it's a new year. And I haven't posted here since..umm..May. I have been thinking of deleting this blog..or at least all the entries in it, and starting over. Maybe a school blog. I see tons of cute ones everyday when I'm perusing pinterest. I could do that. maybe. no...probably not. But I might try. This place did not turn out the way I wanted it to. I have my personal "diary" blogs/journals elsewhere. This one is too public for that anymore. I should make it something fun. I don't want to lose it. Erica made it so cute for me. I don't even know how to do that... or, for that matter, delete the entries I have here. I can't find the "dashboard" button that use to be there. hmmmm.. This may take more time than I thought.

Alphabee Thursday: E is for Expectations

Image
Today is Alphabee-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter E. is for yep...that's right. Expectations Such a big word. Dictionary.com defines it as Something expected. hmmm....kinda vague, so I looked up "EXPECT": 1.to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of 2. to look for with reason or justification: There are certain things I just expect in life: * I expect the light to come on when I flip the switch. * I expect the microwave to pop my popcorn perfectly in about 3 minutes. * I expect whatever I'm plugging into the electrical socket to work when I turn it on. * I expect to be given correct change when paying for a purchase.

C is for Crayon

Today is Alphabe-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter C...so let's get right down to it. is for ahhh...the simplicity of crayons! An essential tool in my profession, and yet such a vital part of our lives. Crayons have the ability to color our world. They add life to simple drawings, brighten up the darkest of pictures, and create rainbows on rainy days. After completing a writing assignment my students will often ask...."Do we have to draw a picture?" "Of course you do!! And use your crayons!" I will reply. And then the real feelings of their topic show through. Without color, how dull our lives would be. No yellow sunshiny days. No pink cotton candy. No blue skies and green grass. Lollipops would be tasteless and lemonade would be just water. The fashion industry would go bust and movies would not be worth seeing. Crayons add life. They add spirit. And they make me smile. Even tho a wee little piece of one was the bane of my world on M...
