    We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day. ~Edith Lovejoy Pierce

    Happy New Year! :)

    "Cancer cannot cripple love, it cannot shatter hope, it cannot corrode faith, it cannot eat away peace, it cannot destroy confidence, it cannot kill friendship, it cannot shut out the memories, it cannot silence courage, it cannot invade the soul, it cannot reduce eternal life. It cannot quench the Spirit."

    Always forgive your enemies - Nothing annoys them so much.

    If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

    There are three sides to any argument: your side, my side and the right side.

    An consultant is someone who takes a subject you understand and makes it sound confusing.

    Never argue with a fool. People might not know the difference.

    When you’re right, no one remembers. When you’re wrong, no one forgets.

    Cheer up, the worst is yet to come.

    If you can’t see the bright side of life, polish the dull side.

    A recent police study found that you’re much more likely to get shot by a fat cop if you run.

    Men want the same thing from their underwear that they want from women: a little
    Bit of support, and a little bit of freedom.

    Anyways... We all have favorite quotes, quotes that have touched a chord in our hearts and minds, quotes that have influenced our decisions, inspired us to go that extra mile, give us courage to face the day, and shown us what real living is like.

    Lets share these divine inspirations with our little world here - on this little posting. I'll start with one of my all-time favorites....

    Being a star-gazer myself and being the proud owner of a tempestuous personal history, this is one of my favorites - it reminds me that no matter what is swirling around me at a given time, I can get through it.

    I've got a different version of this.

    If you love something set it free.
    If it comes back to you, it's yours.
    If it doesn't, hunt it down and kill it. ;)

    The Little Angel Knocking
    at the Door







    There came a frantic knock

    At the doctor's office door,

    A knock, more urgent than

    He had ever heard before.




    ~~~~




    "Come in, Come in,"

    The impatient doctor said,

    "Come in, Come in,

    before you wake the dead."




    ~~




    In walked a frightened little girl,

    A child no more than nine,

    It was plain for all to see,

    She had troubles on her mind.




    ~~~




    "Oh doctor, I beg you,

    please come with me,

    My mother is surely dying,

    she's as sick as she can be."




    ~~~~




    "I don't make house calls,

    bring your mother here,"

    "But she's too sick,

    so you must come or she will die I fear."




    ~~~~




    The doctor, touched by her devotion,

    Decided he would go,

    She said he would be blessed,

    More than he could know.




    ~~~~




    She led him to her house

    Where her mother lay in bed,

    Her mother was so very sick

    She couldn't raise her head.




    ~~~~




    But her eyes cried out for help

    And help her the doctor did,

    She would have died that very night

    Had it not been for her kid.




    ~~~~




    The doctor got her fever down

    And she lived through the night,

    And morning brought the doctor signs,

    That she would be all right.




    ~~~~




    The doctor said he had to leave

    But would return again by two,

    And later he came back to check,

    Just like he said he'd do.




    ~~~~




    The mother praised the doctor

    For all the things he'd done,

    He told her she would have died,

    Were it not for her little one.




    ~~~~




    "How proud you must be

    of your wonderful little girl,

    It was her pleading that made me come,

    she is really quite a pearl!




    ~~~~




    "But doctor, my daughter died

    Over three years ago,

    Is the picture on the wall

    Of the little girl you know?"




    ~~~~




    The doctor's legs went limp

    For the picture on the wall,

    Was the same little girl

    For whom he'd made this call.




    ~~~~




    The doctor stood motionless,

    For quite a little while,

    And then his solemn face,

    Was broken by his smile.




    ~~~~




    He was thinking of that frantic knock

    Heard at his office door,

    And of the beautiful little angel

    That had walked across his floor.

    Ah, ah, ah, Angel... depends on the woman! Surely my Guardian Angel is not making a blanket statement... well, I am assuming this it NOT your quote but since no name is with the quote, had to tease you just a bit. I have been absent for awhile. Thought I would jump in here and let you know I'm still kickin'! Princess Rebbie is still riding the Rebel and teasing her Guardian Angel. All is well with the world. Sex is a great way to get rid of a headache... FOR SOME WOMEN... WHO ARE GREAT AT MULTI-TASKING! LOL I hope I made you smile Angel. : )

    Nice meeting you also Kitkat22. Don't worry about messing up... you will never meet any better friends than you will here. Everyone helped me so much when I first started they will you also. Everyone is understanding. We have all been new at one time or another. Since I don't have a quote at the moment, will close and wish you well. I have been away but hope to be back more often.
