and know EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON."

eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better
things can fall together."
-- Marilyn Monroe

person we meet have a roll in our life, either it is big or small. Some will hurt, betray and make
us cry. Some will teach us lesson, not to change us, but to make us to be a better person."

-- Cynthia Rusli

8) Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life.
I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to
rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have - life itself. Walter Anderson

9) Miracles happen every day, change your perception of what a miracle is and you'll see them
all around you. Jon Bon Jovi

Jordan
