LIFE IS TOO SHORT



LIFE IS TOO SHORT to wake up with regrets.



So LOVE the people who treat you right.






Forget
those who don't
.




BELIEVE everything happens for a reason.



If you get a chance,
take it.
If it changes your life,
let it.















Nobody said life would be easy,












they just promised
it would most likely be WORTH IT.

Mooning, Spooning,Crooning

Is it the full moon or the brisk temps, so unseasonable in Minnesota?
I pulled out the poetry books last night and happened across a cherished favorite.
Sappy-sure- savored all the same.


How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, - I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.


-Elizabeth Barrett Browning,
