The Republicans, on the other hand, would know how to fix your tire, but they wouldn't bother to stop because they'd want to be on time for Ugly Pants Night at the country club. -Dave Barry

The Greatest Irony of Love...

Loving the right person at the wrong time, Having the wrong person when the time is right, And finding out you love someone right after that person walks out of your life.  Sometimes, you think you're already over a person, until you see them smile at you again.  Then, you'll suddenly realize that you're really not.  For some, they think that letting go is one way of expressing how much you love the person, by sacrificing your happiness for theirs.  But, they do this without realizing that the other person is doing the same thing for them.  Most relationships tend to fail.  Not because of the absence of love.  Love is always present.  It's just that one is being loved too much, while the other was being loved too little.  We always fall in love with the person we THINK we love, only to discover that what we loved about them fades.  Bad experiences are always remembered, but it's the wonderful memories that are captured to remind us that there are brighter days ahead and that happiness exists.  You need to learn to let go when you're hurting too much.  Realize that sometimes love isn't enough.  And come to accept the fact that things aren't always gonna be the same.  There is someone out there who WILL love you more.  It's all the thought you put into your decisions that impairs your judgment when your heart already knows exactly what you need to do.  Listen to your heart, because even though it's on the left side, it's always right.   

**Found this and thought it was really cool, so I thought i'd share.

#4  The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.

#5  Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.

#6  Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

#7  Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.

#8  Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.

and....

#9  There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.

 KEEP SMILING!!!
