“I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life. I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Maya Angelou
i have read this quote here and there in life but i always feel like it just gives so much insight. i think as i get older i have all of these thoughts that the world we live in is just so sad, broken, consumed but i think that is really all perspective.
that it really, really can be what you make it.
the smiles i give to strangers, hugs i give to people i love, honest conversations i have...
ALL of those things matter and have so much importance. i want to constantly remind myself to fill my life with things of that nature and not things that bring nothing positive to my day to day life. because at the end...i truly think those will be the things i remember. the things that other people remember. the things that matter.
because all in all i think THOSE are the things that make the world go round. living life with people you love and loving them well. laughing as much as possible. being PATIENT. and trusting that the Lord's plan is perfect.
and not only trusting that but being SO thankful that he chose me. and that He laid out a perfect, detailed, plan for me. to say it leaves me speechless sometimes would be an understatement but very, very true.
grateful and speechless. yep, that's about it.
