sent to me, and thought I would pass it on......

[Lisa B]

May there always be work for your hands to do;
May your purse always hold a coin or two;
May the sun always shine on your windowpane;
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;
May the hand of a friend always be near you;
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
The aim of an argument or discussion should not be victory, but progress.
Happy is he who dares courageously to defend what he loves.

and finally.......my 2 cents.......
I'd rather be hated for who I am, then loved for what I'm not.
