“Don't lick your wounds unless you care to taste the sting a second time.”

“Act like you care. Pray like you care. Speak, smile, reach out, and live like you care.  The point is to make sure those in your life know beyond doubt that you do care.”

“Christmas is like candy; it slowly melts in your mouth sweetening every taste bud, making you wish it could last forever.”

“Punishing a person for the wrongs of another makes about as much sense as throwing up to enjoy the meal a second time.”

“Be thankful for your allotment in an imperfect world.  Though better circumstances can be imagined, far worse are nearer misses than you probably care to realize.”

“There are far too many silent sufferers.  Not because they don't yearn to reach out, but because they've tried and found no one who cares.”

“Some decisions in life naturally lead to an unhappy ending, leaving you sinking by degrees in a lake of quicksand.  And, unless someone reaches to pull you out, chances are you will drown in the consequences.”
