Love is essential to life and health. Children die without love. Sometimes adults feel an extra need for love. That may be a time to ponder these thoughts from an email:

1.    There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.
2.    At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3.    The only reason people would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.
4.    A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
5.    Every night SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6.    You mean the world to someone.
7.    You are special and unique.
8.    Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
9.    When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
10.  When you think the world has turned its back on you, take another look.
11.  Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

Good friends are like stars. You don't always see them. But you know they are always there.

Happiness keeps you sweet
Trials keep you strong.
Sorrows keep you human.
Failures keep you humble.
Success keeps you glowing.
But only Love keeps you going.

I would rather have one rose and a kind word from a friend while I'm here than a whole truck load when I'm gone.
