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.
I Believe...
That the happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the most of everything.'

PS what a wonderful Birthday gift for Happytobe. So special!!!
Though there is a few Provinces between us, you are in my caring thoughts.
May it be soon, that you find your bright light at the end of your dark tunnel. Many hugs to you Glenda. -Brenda-
Everyone goes through a really rough patch from time to time. (If someone says they haven't, I think they're fibbing!!!) Although some trials are tough when you're going through them, years later when you reflect, you'll probably find that they made you stronger, more compassionate, or in some other way a better person than you were before, although I happen to think you're an exceptional person right now! I'll keep praying that your trouble passes soon. Hang in there babe! Hugs- Nancy
Great post.

To get to my blog...www.dsdaydreams.blogspot.com

Very thought provoking. Having gone through a divorce from my high school sweetheart over 9 years ago - a lot of your "I believes" are true. It was very hard not to want to retaliate, however some secrets need to be revealed. Why should someone keep such potentially damaging information to themselves only to make a fool out of you? Life is what you make of it. If you are a miserable person you will live life miserably. I tried very hard to move on and make a happy life for me and my son and "I believe" that I have succeeded.
