Blessing in disguise

We all want happiness
and dread the thought of rain.

When the sun fails to shine,
we worry and complain.

We forget that God above
is infinitely wise,

and sometimes our ails
are blessings in disguise.

For if we're always happy
filled with sunshine and cheer,

our hearts would hold no mercy
for others who've shed tears.

So when trouble comes knocking
remember to stay strong.

Rainbows always follow the storm
and dark clouds never stay long.

Chickens Can't Fly

Don't spend major time with minor people.

If there are people in your life that continually disappoint you, break promises, stomp on your dreams, too judgmental, have different values and don't have your back to cry on during difficult times…that is not a friend.

To have a friend, be a friend. Sometimes in life as you grow, your friends will either grow or go.
Surround yourself with people who reflect your values, goals, interests and lifestyle.

When I think of any of my successes, I am thankful to God from whom all blessings flow, and to my family and friends that enrich my life.

Over the years my address book has changed because I changed for the better.

At first you think that you are going to be alone, but after a while new people show up in your life that make your life so much sweeter and easier to endure.

Remember what your elders used to say, "Birds of a feather flock together."

If you're an eagle, don't hang around chickens:Chickens Can't Fly!
