For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not so that you would be made sorrowful, but that you might know the love which I have especially for you.

My favorite comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. Always bring a smile to my face, a giggle to my ears and occasionally a tear to my eye (for laughing too hard) lol. Just a few lines of Wisdom from the pair. Enjoy a chuckle on me.

"Who wouldn't be interested in everything we do?!"
"You know what we need, Hobbes? We need an attitude."

"OK, so I was wrong for once in my life! Shut up."
"I've got to start listening to those quiet, nagging doubts."
"Did you ever wonder if the person in the puddle is real, and you're just a reflection of him?"

Had an interesting discussion in the lobby few days back on marriage and family. A lot of strong opinions on ths subject. I truly love this world we live in with the vast differences in culture and peoples. We have so many differences that make the world an interesting place but what i love also are the many similarities that we all share. One of those is family and friendship. This proclamation was issued by my faith, "The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" (mormons) and contains principles that i feel are vital to the happiness and well-being of every family.
Just curious what other's take is on all this marriage/family business. Anyway would love ur comments, good or bad.
I truly believe that many of the problems in the world today would be solved by bringing the focus back to the nurturing of the family unit.
“We, the First Presidency and the Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children.
“All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.
...
“We declare the means by which mortal life is created to be divinely appointed. We affirm the sanctity of life and of its importance in God’s eternal plan.
“Husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children. ‘Children are an heritage of the Lord’ (Psalms 127:3). Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, to teach them to love and serve one another, to observe the commandments of God and to be law-abiding citizens wherever they live. Husbands and wives—mothers and fathers—will be held accountable before God for the discharge of these obligations.
“The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners. Disability, death, or other circumstances may necessitate individual adaptation. Extended families should lend support when needed.
When did it happen i'm not quite sure but somewhere between hello and goodbye my heart found it's home in you I wish for a world free of that which keeps up apart but even though we are apart I still belong to you
I should have turned I should have ran that day in class when we first met but how could i have known the thief you'd turn out to be for you stole my heart and now it belongs to you
so here I lay without you beside me No lips to kiss, No arms around me No peace, No joy, No soul, No heart you've taken it all, as well you should for I belong to you and forever this will be

I've learned that all a person has in life is family and friends. If you lose those, you have nothing, so friends are to be treasured more than anything else in the world.
I've learned that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better know something.
I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do.
I've learned that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
I've learned that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
I've learned that you can keep going long after you can't.
I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel. That either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I've learned that money is a lousy way to keep score.
I've learned that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
I've learned that the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to pick you back up.
I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
I've learned that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
I've learned that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've taken from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
I've learned that you should never tell a child their dreams are unlikely or outlandish. Few things are more humiliating, and what a tragedy it would be if they believed it.
I've learned that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I've learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
I've learned that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.
I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone that can be loved. The rest is up to them.
I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.
I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.
I've learned that it's not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that counts.
“I've learned that good-byes will always hurt, pictures will never replace having been there, memories good and bad will bring tears, and words can never replace feelings.”
