It is never too late to be what you might have been, now that is something for me to think about for this is a very special week in my life and I will be sharing it with you or I plan to share some of it with you. “Opportunities multiply as they are seized; they die when neglected. Life is a long line of opportunities”, according to John Wicker. Now I do not know about you but I don’t want to miss out on very many of these opportunities. Thanks to the kindness my friend, The Queen, I now have a name for my Multiple Sclerosis it will forever more be called Missy. The reason she suggested this was because she is messing with you mischievously and Ms sucks. The Queen would know as she has family with this disease so she does know first hand what this disease is all about. The opportunity she found here playing this game is a gift from me so The Queen will be receiving a custom design from one of my design friends if she desires it. See never let an opportunity pass you my here for you never know what I might have in mind.
The Rules For Being Human
When you were born, you didn’t come with an owner’s manual; these guidelines make life work better.
1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it’s the only thing you are sure to keep for the rest of your life.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called “Life on Planet Earth”. Every person or incident is the Universal Teacher.
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of experimentation. “Failures” are as much a part of the process as “success.”
4. A lesson is repeated until learned. It is presented to you in various forms until you learn it — then you can go on to the next lesson.
5. If you don’t learn easy lessons, they get harder. External problems are a precise reflection of your internal state. When you clear inner obstructions, your outside world changes. Pain is how the universe gets your attention.
6. You will know you’ve learned a lesson when your actions change. Wisdom is practice. A little of something is better than a lot of nothing.
7. “There” is no better than “here”. When your “there” becomes a “here” you will simply obtain another “there” that again looks better than “here.”
8. Others are only mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate in yourself.
9. Your life is up to you. Life provides the canvas; you do the painting. Take charge of your life –or someone else will.
10. You always get what you want. Your subconscious rightfully determines what energies, experiences, and people you attract — therefore, the only foolproof way to know what you want is to see what you have. There are no victims, only students.
11. There is no right or wrong, but there are consequences. Moralizing doesn’t help. Judgments only hold the patterns in place. Just do your best.
12. Your answers lie inside you. Children need guidance from others; as we mature, we trust our hearts, where the Laws of Spirit are written. You know more than you have heard or read or been told. All you need to do is to look, listen, and trust.
13. You will forget all this.
14. You can remember any time you wish.
15. Life Is Simply Good
Now remember Circle of Love will be making stops this week and spreading some love and there will be a few other special things going on here so you will not want to miss out.

Vicki, you are an amazing person. I have always loved many of those qoutes. I love how you ended the list with your own qoute. Life is simply good! IT is it really really is. I have a hard time remembering that you always get what you want and I tend to bring to life things I don’t want!!
I would love a new look, but it is not neccassary at all. I love the new skin you have, I think it is perfect far above the others:bananadance::bananadance::bananadance::bananadance::bananadance::bananadance::bananadance::bananadance:Sorry I just love this dancing banana!!!!!:lol:
