The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Hearts Prints

Whatever our hands touch...we leave

fingerprints on.

On walls, on furniture, on door knobs,

dishes and books.

As we touch we leave our identity..

Oh please where ever I go today...

help me leave heart prints.

Heart prints of compassion,

understanding and love.

Heart prints of kindness and genuine concern.

May my heart touch a lonely neighbor...

or a runaway daughter...

or an anxious mother...

or perhaps a dear friend!

I shall go out today...

to leave heart prints...

and if some one should say...

"I felt your touch!" 

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will, 

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, 

When funds are low and the debts are high, 

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh. 

When care is pressing you down a bit. 

Rest, if you must, but don't you quit. 

Life is queer with its twists and turns

As every one of us sometimes learns. 

And many a failure turns about

When he might have won had he stuck it out: 

Don't give up though the pace seems slow -

You may succeed with another blow. 

Success is failure turned inside out -

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt. 

And you never can tell how close you are. 

It may be near when it seems so far: 

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit

It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Anything Is Possible

Believe in Yourself,
and Remember that
Anything Is Possible

Believe in what makes you feel good.
Believe in what makes you happy.
Believe in the dreams you've always wanted to come true,
and give them every chance to.

Life holds no promises
as to what will come your way.
You must search for your own ideals
and work towards reaching them.

Life makes no guarantees as to what you'll have.
It just gives you time to make choices
and to take chances
and to discover whatever secrets might come your way. 

If you are willing to take the opportunities you are given
and utilize the abilities you have,
you will constantly fill your life
with special moments and unforgettable times.

No one knows the mysteries of life or its ultimate meaning,
but for those who are willing
to believe in their dreams and in themselves,
life is a precious gift in which anything is possible.

Dare To Dream

Let nothing hold you back from
exploring your wildest fantasies,
wishes, and aspirations.
Don't be afraid to dream big
and to follow your dreams
wherever they may lead you.
Open your eyes to their beauty;
open your mind to their magic;
open your heart to their possibilities.

Dare to dream.
Whether they are in color
or in black and white,
whether they are big or small,
easily attainable or almost impossible,
look to your dreams,
and make them become reality.
Wishes and hopes are nothing
until you take the first step
towards making them something!

Dare to dream,
Because only by dreaming,
will you ever discover
who you are, what you want,
and what you can do.
Don't be afraid to take risks,
to become involved,
to make commitment.
Do whatever it takes to make
your dreams come true.
Always believe in miracles,
and always believe in you!

Words To Live By

It's not how much you accomplish in life
that really counts,
but how much you give to other.

 It's not how high you build your dreams
that makes a difference,
but how high your faith can climb.

It's not how many goals you reach,
but how many lives you touch.


 It's not who you know that matters,
but who you are inside.


 Believe in the impossible,
hold tight to the incredible,
and live each day to its fullest potential.
You can make a difference
in your world.

How Do You Think?

If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't!
If you'd like to win, but you think you can't,
It's almost certain you won't.


If you think you'll lose, you're lost; 
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in the state of mind!  


If you think you're outclassed, you are;
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself
Before you 'll ever win the prize. 


Life's battles don't always go 
To the stronger or faster man;
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the person who thinks he can!
