Very true and contains lots of wisdom. I fortunately learned this when I was very young. Didn't and don't have much interest in associating with negative people. Everyone has hills to climb in their lives and also have choices as to whom they wish to associate with or become their mate. I've said here many times I have lived by this saying before I was legally of age and continue to do so.

"Man was born to live, not to prepare for life".

"Falling down is a part of life. Getting back up is living."

I love this statement. It applies to so many situations in life. Personal relationships, illness, injury, death of family or friend or pet, to name just a few.

This was sent to me from a friend;

"There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it.

You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good.

Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."

I especially like the last line...................................raven
