There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you want to pick them from your dreams and hug them.
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you only have one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.
Always put yourself in others’ shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person too.
The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes their way.
Happiness lives for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched and those who tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can’t go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heart aches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you were smiling. Live your life so when you die you’re the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Mary, I love reading your stories, most of them grab me deep inside and make me reflect on my own life and how i want it to be. Thanks for always saying something that makes me stop, take a deep breath and look at my life and myself from a different view.

Dear Angela,
Thank you so much for your kind words. They mean so much to me. Please continue reading and leaving comments. The story about my Sailor Daddy is a reflection of my childhood. It gets very dramatic when he is recalled into the Navy. I think I make make this into a book. Let me know what you think.
Love,
Mary
