So true. Everytime I eat my back has to be to the wall watching the door. My Fiance is just used to it...

Happiness is not having what you want, it's wanting what you have.

The man who says it can't be done is usually interrupted by someone doing it.

If you want your own place in the sun you must leave the shade of the family tree.

A recipe for success-
First, have a definite, clear and practical ideal; a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends; wisdom, money, materials and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end.

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I lived through this, I can take the next thing that comes along." You must do what you think you can't.

“The easy way is efficacious and speedy, the hard way arduous and long. But, as the clock ticks, the easy way becomes harder and the hard way becomes easier. And as the calendar records the years, it becomes increasingly evident that the easy way rests hazardously upon shifting sands, whereas the hard way builds solidly a foundation of confidence that cannot be swept away.” Colonel Harland Sanders
