I Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy3 -
Another one who’s wondering how the move went, and hoping you’re now settled in your new home and enjoying it.Life is mainly froth and bubble: two things stand like stone. Kindness in another’s trouble, courage in your own.3
