I believe.....

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-
Thatit'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 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 regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.

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 onesto 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 just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

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 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.

I believe-

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


I believe-
That 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.

There are some great thoughts to live by.  Also all the info on MS is interesting.  I am trying to get my mind wrapped around it. I knew a guy who had ALS (Lou Gerhig's disease) who lived with a respirator to help him breathe for 20 years.  When he died he had been on one longer than any other ALS victim had ever been.  He spoke through a computer generated voice.  And continued to take care of his business interests all that time! His courage was I thought phenomenal, a real hero.  So as you enter the narrows, I am sure that you will inspire with your courage to face what you have, know all you can about it, and come up with the best attitude possible.  Gerry http://journals.aol.com/gehi6/daughters-of-the-shdow-men/

I really need to review this entry a few times each day because I often fall short of being a good person.
