LEMONS and SUGAR

My sister emailed me this and I wanted to share it with "everyone"... It's always nice to be reminded... This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where you could read it every day. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.

1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. You are special and unique.
8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
10. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look.
11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

And always remember....
when life hands you Lemons,
ask for Sugar and call me over!

Good friends are like stars.
You don't always see them,
But you know they are always there.


I would rather have one rose and a kind word
from a friend while I'm here
than a whole truckload when I'm gone.

Stop and smell the flowers?
See how many 'bouquets' you
end up with.


Happiness keeps You Sweet,
Trials keep You Strong,
Sorrows keep You Human,
Life keeps You Humble,
Success keeps You Glowing,
But Only God keeps You Going.
Thanks everyone for being my friend!! :)

This is lovely Jodi. I'm just wondering who loves me that I don't know. This list is a great reminder to look for good, ignore and move past the negative.

This was such a great reminder. I can't help but wonder who some of these would be for me. I'm so glad to have "true" friends and know who they are.
