Riding the rapids of life
like you ride the rapids of the river
hold tight, smile, enjoy the ride
but fight hard to keep your head above water.

Happiness keeps You Sweet,
Trials keep You Strong,
Sorrows keep You Human,
Failures keep You Humble,
Success keeps You Glowing,
But Only Friends keep You Going!

*An old phrase *not mine* but very true =)*

Hold on to the hope that the person your meant for is real and looking for you too, believe me, you'll know when you find him :)

The difficult bumps in life, the ones that hurt the most, are the ones that help you sort out whats truly important to you

Life throws disappointments, it hurts and makes you cry, can feel like a knife in the heart, but wipe your tears, hold your head high and keep going, your strong enough to face it

No one ever said that life would be easy or that the path wouldn't make you cry, when you trip and it hurts and your tired of fighting and tired of all the tears, keep going, the best may still be ahead

When you trip on the rocks of life that are on your path and you fall to the ground crying and ready to give up...take a deep breath, get up and keep going, giving up only proves the world right

Life happens, plans change, people say things that hurt, but if we all gave up when things get hard and life makes us cry then nothing will ever change and we'll never know what might have happened if we'd kept going and given it a chance

*Splash* Another tear slides down a cheek and disappears, and with each tear that slips silently unseen down a cheek either a life can be saved or be destroyed, the choice is each of ours

Another tear slips down her cheek and with each tear it hurts a bit more, tired of being strong, tired of understanding but with each tear she gets more determined to make it work
