[td]i received this via e-mail from one of my nursing colleagues and i felt compelled to share it with all of you...and so it goes... aloha~

i believe

[table]

[tr]

[td]birth certificate shows that we were born. a death certificate shows that we died ...

pictures & relationships show that we lived! have a seat . . . relax . . . and read this slowly.

i believe...

that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. and just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do love each other.

i believe...

that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

i believe.....

that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

i believe...

that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. same goes for true love.

i believe...

that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life..

i believe..

that it's taking me a long time to become the person i want to be.

i believe...

that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. it may be the last time you see them.

i believe...

that you can keep going long after you think you can't.

i believe...

that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

i believe...

that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

i believe...

that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

i believe...

that money is a lousy way of keeping score.

i believe....

that my best friend and i can do anything, or nothing, and have the best time.

i believe...

that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

i believe...

that sometimes when i'm angry i have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

i believe...

that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated...

i believe...

that it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.

sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

i believe...

that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

i believe....

that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but, we are responsible for who we become..

i believe...

that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret.. it could change your life forever.

i believe...

two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

i believe...

that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.

i believe...

that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.

i believe...

that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

i believe...

that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon!

the happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything.
