This forum is one of Life's treasures.

[Loretta Ann]

Your presence is a gift to the world,
You're unique and one of a kind.
Your life can be what you want it to be...
Take it one day at a time.

Count your blessings, not your troubles,
And you'll make it through what comes along.
Within you are so many answers,
Understand, have courage, be strong.

Don't put limits on yourself,
Your dreams are waiting to be realized.
Don't leave your important decisions to chance...
Reach for your peak, your goal, and your prize.

Nothing wastes more energy than worrying...
The longer a problem is carried, the heavier it gets.
Don't take things too seriously...
Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets.

Remember that a little love goes a long way...
Remember that a lot goes forever.
Remember that friendship is a wise investment,
Life's treasures are people...together.

Have health and hope and happiness,
Take the time to wish on a star.
And don't ever forget for even a day...
How very special YOU are!

I’M SPECIAL

I’m Special! In all the world there has never been anyone else like me.

Since the beginning of time, there has never been another person like me. No one else has my smile, my eyes, my nose, my hair, my hands, my fingerprints or my voice. God created me special!

No one anywhere, now or ever, has ever had my taste, for food, for music or for art. No one else sees things exactly as I see them. Since the beginning of time there has never been anyone who laughs like me or cries like me and the things that make me laugh or make me cry will never provoke identical laughter or tears from anyone else, ever! No one else reacts to any situation exactly as I would react to the same situation because I am special!

I am the only one in all of creation who has my set of abilities. Oh, there will always be someone who is better at some of the things that I am good at doing but no one in the universe can reach the quality of my combination of talents, Ideas, abilities or feelings. Like a room full of musical instruments, some may excel alone but none can match the symphonic sound when played together. Through all of eternity no one will ever look, talk, walk, think, or act exactly as I do. That is why I know that I am special, I am very rare! And in all rarity there is great value. I need not attempt to imitate others. I will accept, yes, celebrate my differences.

I am special and I am beginning to realize that GOD made me special for a very special purpose. HE must have a job for me that no one else can do as well as I. And of the billions of people that have or ever will walk on this earth, only one is qualified, and only one has the right combination of what it takes to do the job that he has for me. That is why I know that I Am SPECIAL!

We are all special and we are all different, yet we are all alike in the eyes of GOD!

Sis, As usual "Excellent!" You are a real treasure and the forum - well I can only repeat what I have said many, many times. The girls here have done more for this lady than they will ever know, and they can take the knowledge with them that they have helped one wayward girl to find her way and she will be forever thankful!
and Barbra, you are so right - Ain't no two of us! (well maybe Darlene and me - well we'er close anyway)
Love ya,
Deborah
