When one door closes, another one REALLY does open!
A journal is a great way to validate your own feelings.
The world IS full of wonderful people, you just need to learn their story.
My dad told me this one when I was little... and he was right... Smile and the world smiles with you!

Just because someone told you you can't, it doesn't mean you shouldn't.
Just because someone says you should, doesn't mean you HAVE to.
People ALWAYS tell you who they really are in the first conversation. Listen carefully!
If you want something done, do it yourself.
People don't always return the favor, so don't always expect it.
Family comes first.
It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is for permission.
Losing a loved one is NEVER easy.

Everyday my children come running to the door, and everyday I'm surprised by their unconditional love.
Keeping your calm takes practice... a lot of practice!! I'm still trying to master that one!
When you find a friend who laughs at your jokes you know you've found a friend for life!

Never judge a book by it's cover, you just never know what stories are within.
Wherever the road in life takes you, trust that it's steering you towards your purpose.
At the end of the day, reflect on the past and look forward to the future.

Falling down is a part of life, it's how you get up is what counts.
