you admire become part of you, so that

Remember, those
whose lives you have touched and who have
touched yours are always a part of you,
even if the encounters were less than you
would have wished. It is the content of
the encounter that is more important than
its form. May you not become too
concerned with material matters, but
instead place immeasurable value on the
goodness in your heart. Find time in
each day to see beauty and love in the
world around you. Realize that each
person has limitless abilities, but each
of us is different in our own way. What
you may feel you lavk in one regard may
be more than compensated for in another.
What you feel you lack in the present may
become one of your strengths in the
future. May you see your future as one
filled with promise and possibility.
Learn to view everything as a worthwhile
experience. May you find enough inner
strength to determine your own worth by
yourself, and not be dependent on
another's judgment of your accomplishments.
May you always feel loved. -Sandra Sturtz ........................... Win without boasting. Lose without excuse. -Albert Payson Terhune ...........................

When you die, your spirit mixes up with other spirits and it gets really confusing--Kelli Dickerson ........................... I just knocked your cat into the toilet. It was an accident.
