That old dogs can learn new tricks

That beauty can be found in the ugliest of places

That the universe is trying to tell you something

That you have the power to walk into a room and set someone's soul ablaze, stirring a thousand desires with just one glance and a modest smile

That I love you

That you have the ability to change yourself, but no matter how hard you try you cannot change someone else

That good, bad, or ugly...right now at this very moment, you are exactly where you are supposed to be

That the people who come and go in your life served a purpose, but the ones who remain serve your heart

That no matter how far down you fall, there will always be a hand offering to help pick you up and point you in the right direction...if you are willing to take it

That someone still thinks about you every single day and wishes you were there

That life is full of do-overs and second chances

That trying and failing is still a lot better than never trying at all

That mean people always get what's coming to them

That good deeds go rewarded... but only when they are done without the intention of receiving a reward

That great friendships can be formed with the most unlikely of people

That you can make someone's day with one kind word or simple gesture

That you make a difference in a child's life

That you have the ability to make someone old feel young again, make someone ill feel well again. Even if only for a couple of hours...or minutes

That family is the most important thing

That you'll feel more lonely being with the wrong person, than you'll ever feel being alone

That no matter how strong someone seems on the outside, inside they may be very fragile

That nothing cures the blues like some good old fashioned comfort food

That 40 is the new 25

That pugs are living proof that God has a sense of humor

That some bonds can never be broken

That there is hope in the hopeless

That destiny calls

That you are worth a lot more than what you just walked away from

That lies destroy

That it's never too late to take a wrong and make it right

That you're better off everyday, better off in every way

The power of prayer

That all dogs go to heaven

That the spirit goes on and on and on

That having a strong character, sense of self, and integrity will see you through difficult times

That you are missed

That you are needed

That you are awesome

That you are beautiful

That you are wanted

That you are loved
