Truly beautiful. Do read to the end. WHO CAN ARGUE WITH THIS PHILOSOPHY We never get what we want, We never want what we get, We never have what we like, We never like what we have. And still we live & love. That's life... The best kind of friends, Is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, Never say a word, And then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had. It's true that we don't know What we've got until it's gone, But it's also true that we don't know What we've been missing until it arrives.

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, An hour to like someone, And a day to love someone, But it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Don't go for looks; they ca...

RECOGNIZING & DEALING WITH DEPRESSION: Depression is serious. It has just taken another life. This time, a young pastor from California. Left untreated, depression can lead to serious health complications, including putting your life at risk. It is a spiritual, mental, and physiological problem all rolled into one. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) estimated that 16.2 million U.S. adults had at least one major depressive episode in 2016 while the W.H.O. estimated that more than 300 million people worldwide suffer from depression. It is quickly becoming the world’s leading cause of disability. RECOGNIZING THE SYMPTOMS QUICK The old adage, prevention is better than cure, applies as the best treatment for depression. Almost all of us do feel sad, lonely, or depressed at times. It's a normal reaction to loss, or facing life's struggles. But when these feelings become overwhelming and last for long periods of time, they can keep us from leading a normal, activ...
