Life is a gift. But sadly, many of us do not discover that until our own life or the life of a loved one is threatened. Make the most of every moment that you have and seize every opportunity to tell the special people in your life how much you love them. Tomorrow is promised to no one, so leave no words unsaid, no hugs unshared and no sadness or anger between you and those…

Giving in is not the same as giving up. When you give up, there is more that you could have chosen to do. But instead, you have chosen not to make an effort. However, when you give in, you are simply choosing to accept something that you cannot change. I give up on my dream to become a famous writer.

I understand where you are coming from. I know you have to do what you have to do. You are always willing to give me a helping hand. Even when the days are cloudy and gray. If I need advice or just need a friend,…
