Life is like music on a scale, shifting up and down. When your life is over, your song has been written.

Each New Year, we have before us a brand new book containing 365 blank pages. Let us fill them with all the forgotten things from last year__he words we forgot to say, the love we forgot to show, and the charity we forgot to offer.

The day after two feet of snow paralyzed the eastern part of the United States, the sun shone brightly from clear blue skies and it was as if nothing had ever happened _ except for the deep snow that still covered the ground.Peggy Toney Horton wrote:__his beautiful sunny afternoon reminds me of a child who misbehaved and then looked at his mother with wide eyes and declared, __ didn't do it!

Like a dying ember, the child in us can flare up again when we least expect it..

What could be more exciting than an October day? It's your birthday, Fourth of July and Christmas all rolled into one.

Even in death, my mother smiled__nd she had every reason to do so, for I had become precisely what she hoped I would__er mirror image.

At Christmastime, whenever I feel overwhelmed and a little out of sorts, all I have to do is think of my father and the things he'd be doing if he were here _ and I smile.

As the last curtain falls on a spent year, a new year pirouettes to center stage with the elegance and charm of a prima ballerina _ and delivers the promise of peace, hope, love and joy.

My heart swells with emotion each time I recall the sweetness of my youth!

Your mission in life is to determine what You believe__ot to accept what someone else tells you to believe.
