My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!
~Thomas Jefferson

I just thought this was a great quote to pass along in honor of Independence Day tomorrow.

"When you do dance, I wish you
A wave o' th' sea, that you might ever do
Nothing but that."

The Winter's Tale (IV, iv, 159-161)

I love this Shakespeare quote... of all, this is one most sweet. :)

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

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

The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It's just that yours is stupid.

How Many Roads Must A Man Walk Down Before He Admits Hes lost?

There are three sides of an argument -- your side, my side and the right side.

Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

Hope these make you smile. :)

Well since you all liked those so much, here are some more;

There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?

In God we trust; all others must pay cash.

Everyone has photographic memory; some just don't have the film.

There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.

The road to success is always under construction.

If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity. - Albert Einstein

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

Had to spread the "Rep" Alty , but love those as well :)

You just had to have a Lingerie quote right... lol :p

[Alty]

Lingerie is the fabric of our lives, or is that cotton. :)

I knew today would come... *sigh*...

Adieu! I have too grieved a heart to take a tedious leave. ~William Shakespeare

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. ~Gilda Radner

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. ~Theodor Seuss Geisel, attributed

I don't understand. Why are we saying goodbye?

[HistorianChick]

Awww... I needed that.

Something that I've known was going to happen for a while happened. It was right, the "best thing", the "good thing"... but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt a wee bit. :)

(This is one of those partitioned off parts of the heart that I've talked about before... and actually what helped me find AMHD... )

[ISneezeFunny]

In that case...

How do I say goodbye to what we had?
The good times that made us laugh
Outweigh the bad.

I thought we'd get to see forever
But forever's gone away
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

I don't know where this road
Is going to lead
All I know is where we've been
And what we've been through.

If we get to see tomorrow
I hope it's worth all the wait
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

Sneezy, Darling... I'm saving the crying until after work... don't be so nice! :)

Really though... it was time. It was right. C'est le vie. I am honestly and truly able to "smile because it happened." Losing a true, REAL friend is like losing a part of you. That's all. But it was right.

[Alty]

HC, if you need to talk about it we're here. You can PM, you can email, or you can let it all out here on the boards. You know that we're here for you, and we love you so much. I hope your day gets better, and that you find your smile.

[HistorianChick]

It's a situation that I got myself into - its what brought me to AMHD (and for that I'm glad) - that could have been awful... but in my perpetual-Barbie-girl-optimist way, it avoided its potential landslide capabilities and turned into one of the most amazing friendships I've ever experienced...

But today, I had to say goodbye. I'm truly smiling because it happened, but aching because its gone. But it was right and for the best and nothing can convince me of anything different.

Losing a friend is terribly hard, but when it's the right thing to do, it makes it logical, but doesn't stop the hurt.

Adolescence is a period of rapid changes. Between the ages of 12-17 for example , a parent ages as much as 20 years!
