| Keep the Light & Spirit of Christmas in your heart all year long, May the Force be with you. And may you experience your own Epiphany. |
Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
So love the people who treat you right.
Forget about the one's who don't.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said life would be easy,
they just promised it would be worth it.
Friends are like balloons; once you let them go, you can't get them back.
So I'm gonna tie you to my heart so I never lose you.

A Holy Man
A holy man was having a conversation with God one day and said, "God, I would like to know what Heaven
and Hell are like."
God led the holy man to two doors. He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in. In the middle
of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which smelled
delicious and made the holy man's mouth water.
The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished. They were
holding spoons with very long handles that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to
reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful.
But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons into their mouths.
The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.
God said, "You have seen Hell."
They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one.
There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man's mouth water.
The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished
and plump, laughing and talking.
The holy man said, "I don't understand."
“It is simple," said God, "it requires but one skill.
You see, they have learned to feed each other.
The greedy think only of themselves."
Remember that I will always share my spoon with you
