By Author Unknown QUOTES for YOUR WEEK "PERSIST. Because with an idea, determination, and the right tools, you can do great things." Author Unknown "Your perception goes a long way in determining what your life is like. Is the glass half empty or is the glass half full." Russ Stiffler "Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure."

I hope you do not mind Marilyn, but I have a few words of inspiration of my own that I would like to share with my friends at Adlandpro. Please enjoy and have peace in your lives. Life Do you ever wonder? what life is really about Birth, love, raising children, then death, was there any doubt Some in-betweens we have forgotten, that make it all worthwhile Like sharing precious moments, with someone who can make you smile We only comprehend what is before us, never trying to look beyond And always looking for that special person, to complete the human bond Like everything, we are made of molecules, electrical beings we are So maybe we should look within ourselves, and not a shining star Pain, frustration, and disappointments, are part of life, and will always be there But if one can say they love them self, they will always have someone who cares Nobody knows the answer to life, it's a very good question at best So maybe it should be thought of, as thee Almighty's ultimate test We all one time or another, must conclude on which highway to take And when we come to the crossroads, it will be a decision we all have to make So be happy with what life has already given you, another road could have been a lot worse And if you do not believe this to be true, then seriously think about it after this verse. By Nick Sym
