I hate when people borrow money from you then get mad at you cause you want YOUR money back.

Somebody died last night, but we didn't. Somebody didn't wake up this morning, but we did. We're not lucky, we are blessed!

Be thankful you're still breathing, because someone out there just took their last breath.

The people truly worthy to be in your life are the ones that help you through hard times, and laugh with you after the hard times pass.

To say I love you one must first be able to say that first.

You can't have a better tomorrow if you're always thinking about yesterday.

You need to be grateful for everything you have family, love, friendship. Don't let the things you do today lose what you might just need tomorrow.

The best things happen unexpectedly.

People don't notice the things we do for them until we stop doing them.

Stop chasing the things you want and embrace all that you already have.

Follow your hopes. Destroy your fears.
