As I Walk Through Life

As I Walk Through Life

I've learned-
that you can do something in an instant
that will give you heartache for life.

I've learned-
that you should always leave
loved ones with loving words.
It may be the last time you see them.

I've learned-
that you can keep going long after you can't.

I've learned-
that we are responsible for what we do,
no matter how we feel.

I've learned-
that either you control your
attitude or it controls you.

I've learned-
that money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I've learned-
that my best friend and I can do anything
or nothing and have the best time.

I've learned-
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've learned-
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've learned-
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've learned-
that it isn't always enough to
be forgiven by others,
Sometimes you have to learn
to forgive yourself.

I've learned-
that just because two people argue, it doesn't
mean they don't love each other.

I've learned-
that two people can look at
the exact same thing
and see something totally different.

I've Learned...

that your family won't always be there for you. It may seem funny, but people you aren't related to can take care of you and love you and teach you to trust people again. Families aren't biological.

"Your Journey"

Each day's Journey...
is an experience you have not known…

Your journey is continuous and will happen
Whether you reach a goal or never set one...

All you truly get to take delight from in this world
...is your Journey…

Take time to savor it,
nothing else matters but the Journey…

Journey

JOURNEY

I don't know where I'm going.

Don't remember where I've been.

But I've got a funny feeling,

I'm headed there again.

I think back to when it started,

To the moment when I fell.

When I thought I was in heaven,

And I found myself in hell.

I never do the thinking,

Till after I have lost,

The will to live my life alone,

No matter what the cost.

So this time I'll be careful,

This time I'll be smart.

I'll watch the signs,

And read the minds,

Before the loving starts.

And when I meet a lady,

That takes my breath away,

Who makes me leave the hurt behind,

And love another day.

I'll tell her she will have to wait,

For me to come around.

And have a little patience,

Till I get to solid ground.

Don't count on it.
