"Live this day as if it will be your last. Remember that you will only find "tomorrow" on the calendars of fools. Forget yesterday's defeats and ignore the problems of tomorrow. This is it. Doomsday. All you have. Make it the best day of your year. The saddest words you can ever utter are, "If I had my life to live over again." Take the baton, now, Run with it! This is your day! Beginning today, treat everyone you meet, friend or foe, loved one or stranger, as if they were going to be dead at midnight. Extend to each person, no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and kindness and understanding and love that you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again." -Og Mandino-

To the friends and family who have been devastated by the loss of loved ones... You are in my thoughts and prayers and your pain and sorrow is not in vain. It has helped me remember some very important things; Hold your loved ones close to your heart, tell them you love them often, love unconditionally, live with no regrets and make each moment into a memory to treasure. Life is too short to hate, too short to be angry, too short to judge or hold grudges. So, to my friends and my family, I love you and I treasure each and every one of you. Thank you for being a part of my life and I hope you will be a part of it for many years to come. If one person who reads this finds as much meaning in this quote as I have, the world will be a better place.
