"When it's over a new adventure will begin" I firmly believe that, and to make the best of what you have left while you're here. Very good Sandi and very true.

One I like - Chief Seattle 1854.

Take nothing but memories, leave nothing but footprints.

Later adapted by a US Caving Club to be:-

Take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but footprints, kill nothing but time.

Sorry, I did look but failed miserably!

Thats OK gal - I get the message from your words there

Re: Wise words and Inspiring quotations...

I just received this lovely quote I thought I'd share:

"Because life is a living, breathing work of art, you are a painting as you go. Be a masterpiece. Drink in life. Laugh too loud. Compliment others constantly." Nicole Johnson

If you'd like to receive these kinds of quotes, they can be found at www.inspirationaldaily.com

I hope you enjoy.
