Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

There's so much more left to say. If you were with me today face to face. I never knew I could hurt like this and everyday life goes on. I wish I could talk to you for awhile. I wish I could find a way not to cry. As time goes by and i know that you have reached a better place. Still I'll give the whole world to see your face and I'm right here next to you. It feels like your gone too soon. The hardest thing to do is say bye and you never got the chance to see how good I've done. I thought you were so strong. That you can make it through whatever. It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever.
Missing you...xoxoxoxo
Just remebering how much fun we all used to have on New Years Eve. Some years we would be so engrossed in our conversations we'd miss the count down lol Sure do miss those times with you! Always felt safe and comfortable with you around because you always made sure we were! This time of year really brings you being gone so much more into focus it's always there but sometimes you can fake it and believe your just away! Missing you and others who have left us so much. Wishing for that one more time with you to laugh hysterically and dance without caring who is watching! Time marches on Rhonda but the wound is slow to heal the empty spots are just too big! Missing you so very much dear friend wishing you here with us!
Love You
XXOO
