Five Thoughts for the Day…

No one can go back and make a brand-new start.  Anyone can start from now and make a brand-new ending. 

Our maker didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but he did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.

Disappointments are like road humps, they slow you down a bit but you enjoy the smooth road afterward. Don't stay on the humps too long.  Move on!

When you feel down because you didn't get what you want, just sit tight and be happy, because God is thinking of something better to give you.

When something happens to you, good or bad, consider what it means. There's a purpose to life's events, to teach you how to laugh more or not to cry too hard.

Have a great day… unless you have chosen otherwise!

Why shouldn’t you write with a broken pencil? (Scroll down for the answer.)

Because it’s pointless!
