I love rhinestones, faux jewelry.

I have been a joy to live with all spring: Upbeat, warm and tender, uncomplicated, and loving. I am no trouble at all. You could press me into dough and make sugar cookies out of me, I've been so sweet.

When people are filled to the brim with love, they are their most beautiful.

The good things that happen to us were meant to happen, and the bad things that happen are lessons meant to teach us to be better.
