Life has shown me all too often that there is no rhyme or reason to the cruelty inflicted upon humanity.

Because sometimes you have to suffer without the things you want now so you can have everything you need later.

It's not our mistakes that define us. It's the lessons we learn that show our true character.

Sometimes you forget how much you love someone, until you realize their smile is like a spotlight shined on your heart.

There's a little blackness inside all of us.

That time of day when the sun hasn’t come up yet, but you can already feel it coming. It’s an elusive warmth, like a subtle promise whispered in your ear and you can go on with your day knowing you’ve been given another chance to get it right.

There are moments in life, and they happen so infrequently that they tend to really stand out, when life hands you the gift of perspective. Sometimes, we forget to show our appreciation. Sometimes, we get our priorities mixed up. And, sometimes, we forget how far we’ve come. But life always has a way of nudging you to remind you about these important things.
