BEAUTIFUL CRAFTY IDEAS FOR CHRISTMAS

 

NOTHING IS HOPELESS EXCEPT NEVER TRYING

The best lessons I ever learned in life came from the worst experiences in my life.

Don’t react to toxic people. Not giving them a reaction when they desperately seek it, is far more powerful.

People who love you, want you to be happy. There are no exceptions. – Angie C.

Do not be afraid to do something just because you’re scared of what people will say about you. People will judge you no matter what you do.

Don’t put up with people who don’t treat you with the love and respect you deserve. Know your worth.

There’s no such thing as a coincidence. Notice how every major event in your life somehow leads up to the next.. it’s all connected. 

Sometimes you just have to appreciate where you are. You came a long way and you’re still learning and growing. Be grateful for the lessons.

 

If I change, it’s for myself

Sometimes you have to stop being scared and just go for it. Either it’ll work or it won’t. That’s life.

 What’s meant for you will never miss you, and that which misses you was never meant for you. 

Stay low key. Not everyone needs to know everything about you

Everyday I wake up and make the decision that I’m going to be happy. Yes, everyday. Some days are harder than others but that’s okay.

Don’t feel guilty for doing what’s best for you

 Be with the friends who celebrate your weirdness

A man who is truly interested in a woman will find an endless number of reasons why he must see her. A man who is just playing around–or confused about his own feelings–will find an endless number of excuses why he didn’t show up. – Charles Orlando

 

AN 87 YEAR OLD COLLEGE STUDENT NAMED ROSE

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know.

I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me
with a smile that lit up her entire being.

She said, “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?”

I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.

“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked.

She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids…”

“No seriously,” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.

“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.

After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.

Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.

At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us. She was
introduced and stepped up to the podium.

As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, “I’m sorry I’m so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I’ll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell
you what I know.”

As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day.

You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.
We have so many people walking around who are dead and don’t even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.

If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old.

If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight.

Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change.
Have no regrets.

The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those
with regrets.”

She concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Rose.”

She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.

At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it’s
never too late to be all you can possibly be .When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful word of advice to your friends and family, they’ll really enjoy it!

These words have been passed along in loving memory of ROSE.

REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS
OPTIONAL.

We make a Living by what we get, We make a Life by what we give.
