MANY PEOPLE WILL WALK IN AND OUT OF YOUR LIFE, BUT ONLY TRUE FRIENDS WILL LEAVE FOOTPRINTS IN YOUR HEART. TO HANDLE YOURSELF, USE YOUR HEAD; TO HANDLE OTHERS USE YOUR HEART.

" LIFE CAN BE A PECULIAR COMMODITY, WHILE SEARCHING FOR THE DEBATES ON HOW TO LIVE IT, LOVE IT AND ACCEPT IT WITH A SMILE. FOR THE SMILE CAN LAST FOR ONLY SO LONG,BUT THE LONGER IT LASTS, THE BETTER IT FEELS. ..FOR SMILING IS CONTAGIOUS, FROWNING IS OUTRAGIOUS. THE MYSTICAL PART OF LOVING IS FOUND BY THOSE WHO SENSE HUMANNESS AS A PART OF LIFE. FOR WE CAN TELL WHEN A LIFE BEGINS, BUT NEVER WHEN TIME IS TO STOP TICKING. SO LIVE EACH DAY TO IT'S FULLEST, AND IF ANY MAN SEEKS FOR GREATNESS, LET HIM FORGET GREATNESS AND ASK FOR TRUTH AND HE WILL FIND BOTH. FOR THE MAIN THING IN LIFE IS NOT TO BE AFRAID OF BEING HUMAN, FOR WE'RE ALL UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT....EVERY LAST ONE OF US. ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS SEARCH FOR THE BEING...THE HUMAN BEING. CINDY SANVILLE, REALTOR-VT
