"Here I come again
I don't really care to turn back
Trying to find you directions
But I seem to be losin' track

I believe we ought to make a run for it just to see how far we can go
I ain't just around for the fun of it
But until you try it, baby, you'll never know so... "

A reminder for the rest of 2011 as we wrap up the 1st Quarter.

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER GOING INTO THE NEW YEAR:
A true friend doesn't care if you're broke, being a pain, what you weigh, if your house is a mess, what you drive, about your past, or if your family is filled with CRAZY people.
Your conversations pick up where they left off even if they have been months apart. They love you unconditionally for who you are.

Re-post if you have at least one true friend. They will know who they are.

STRONG PERSON:
A strong person knows how to keep their life in order. Even with tears in their eyes, they still manage to say "I'm ok" with a smile. God is good. Change is coming. God saw your sadness and said hard times are over.

Thanks for making me smile!

Live, Laugh, Love! :-)

Did you know...
... that today is the birthday of "Happy Birthday to You"?
Mildred J. Hill composed the tune for a song then known as
"Good Morning to All," first published in 1893, as a greeting
song for teachers to sing to their students. Her sister Patty
Smith Hill wrote the lyrics and, in 1924, added a stanza that
became the now popular birthday song, "Happy Birthday to You."
So think of Mildred and Patty whenever you sing out the
