My sister in Florida sent this to me and I would like to share it with all of you...

 

1.  Stop letting people who do so little for you control so much of your mind, feelings and emotions.

 

2.  I have felt pain, I have endured hardship, I have suffered loss of loved ones and I have memories I want  to forget.  However...those things have made me strong and today, I face the world with a smile because I know things will get better and those who love me will always be there for me.

The moving finger writes; And having writ, Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line Nor all your Tears Wash out a Word of it. Omar Khayam

#1---- I have been living my life that way all of my adult life. What people think of me? Who cares, not me! Only those that are an essential part of my life concern me.

 

#2----Been up many mountains on my journey through life, but I have no memories I want to forget. As an optimist I always see the tough things in my life as getting better, along with me getting stronger. There are very few in most people's lives, that will always be there, make sure you tell them, and often.

Very sound advice.  I agree with the majority of it.  I find that I don't forget much of any memories --- some I things I would like to.  But even though they aren't pleasant, I have still learned from them, and I have grown from them.  As for loved ones always being there --- no, not really.  Make sure you let your loved ones know yow you feel as you never know how long each of you have on this earth.  However, no one can take the memories of the love you have shared away from you.
