Beautifully True Statements

I really hate those pass along emails. Not the ones that are clearly spam from companies, but the ones you recieve from your own friends that are cute, but let's be honest they clog up your email and aren't anything you really need to read. It usually tells you to send it on to 5 other friends or else you'll have bad luck or something silly like that.

I recently recieved this one from my cousin who is notorious for send me "those kinds" of email chain letters so I almost deleted it straight away. I'm glad that I didn't .....This one was a little different with some real pearls of wisdom!

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.

You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.

You'll fight with your best friend.

You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.

You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.

So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

I think I really needed to see these words!!

I reflect upon a recent blog about a past love and think that most of these pearls of wisdom could have really helped me that night when the pain and hurt rushed back so intimately that it felt as if I was reliving the trama all over again. Maybe it could have helped, but I don't know for sure. Sometimes it's more about hearing something that you need to exactly when your open to really absorbing it. I wonder how many times I have known the answer and ignored it because I wasn't in the proper state of mind. I think that is probably true for most people.

But today I was ready and I so in my new state of mind I resolve to try and remember that spending time upset doesn't accomplish much more than being upset........ and if I forget along the way I hope to recieve random silly emails to remind me that life it too short to be upset!

Did I just say it was ok to send me silly spam email???
