Thoughts for a Fresh Start in the New Year!!

I give you...thoughts to begin a New Year! A Fresh Start!

* Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
* Don't believe all you hear or spend all you have.
* When you say, "I love you", mean it.
* When you say, "I'm sorry", look the person in the eye.
* Believe in love at first sight.
* Never laugh at anyone's dreams.
* Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.
* In disagreements, fight fairly. 
* Talk slow, but think quick. (I have trouble with this one!!)
* Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
* Call your Mom and Dad.
* Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.
* Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; Responsibility for all your actions.
* Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

* Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.
* Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

* Read between the lines.
* Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality.
