Thanks for sharing this. There is much wisdom in many of these sayings. As we all know, life can be too short and none of us is given to know what tomorrow may hold. All we can do is live life as fully and positively as possible with our loved ones. We can hope for good health and have tolerance and patience with others and maybe happiness will follow. Life isn\'t a dress rehearsal so enjoy it as much as you can. Thanks again.

I have read this before, and it is full of good ideas. I believe that one of them has been a strong key in James and me staying so happy together and so close, That is TO AGREE TO DISAGREE. I think that is great advice to any couple. Thanks for sharing,love Peggy
