HINTS FOR LIFE...
1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return,
But what is more painful is to love someone and
never find the courage to let that person know how
you feel.
2. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who
means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it
was never meant to be and you just have to let go.
3. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a
porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk
away feeling like it was the best conversation you've
ever had.
4. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we
lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what
we've been missing until it arrives.
5. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an
hour to like someone, and a day to love someone-
but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
6. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for
wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who
makes you smile because it takes only a smile to
make a dark day seem bright.
7. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want
to go; be what you want to be, because you have
only one life and one chance to do all the things you
want to do.
8. Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel
that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.
9. A careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may
wreck a life; a timely word may level stress; a loving
word may heal and bless.
10. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the
best of everything they just make the most of
everything that comes along their way.
11. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends
with a tear.
12. When you were born, you were crying and
everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so
that when you die, you're the one smiling and
everyone around you is crying.
Always remember: Life is full of doorways. Take the opportunities and open them! Don't let life slip by you!

That's what's called "companionable silence." When you can be with someone, not talking, but still communicating. I think it's one of the loveliest things in the world to be silent with someone. And one of the hardest!!!

Like that ever happens when we are all together. I think we should try and play the "quiet game" the next time y'all are in town.picky
Hey! I did say it was the "hardest." I was thinking more in terms of Merman, though. He saves his words where I spew them. And yet I can be with him without the need to have conversation and it still feels good. Or maybe I should say it feels like a relief.

They are all right and true and good, but I really like #5 and #12.
I s'pose right now I am in a place where I especially identify with those.

Very good quotes but this one:
5. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an
hour to like someone, and a day to love someone-
but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Sounds like one would need some viagra to accomplish that one.

I'm teasing you. Refer to your answer to Allifunn's post on the MLK thread. I don't think you practice #8 on those stagnant, repressive, backward types...oh, yes, some people call them conservative.

I'm practically a card carrying conservative and can assure you that JR has always treated me with the utmost kindness and consideration!

:clap_1: Thanks, SJ. I like #10 the best. Nice way to start the weekend. Now I'll light a fire in the fireplace, watch the snow through the windows, and have a scone and tea and be really happy.
