&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;  &lt;img id="cid_394640" src="/files/2e6c1259095022.jpg" alt="2e6c" hspace="5" width="452" height="395"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Sometimes&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;There is good, beauty, and hope in everything around. You have to look to find it. Sometimes you have to look deep within yourself.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is a lesson in everything that happens. You have to pay attention and listen to what is being taught. Sometimes you have to look back long enough to understand.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is happiness and love to embrace and discover. You have to open your heart, mind, body and soul to take it all in and give it all back. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sometimes it takes losing to win.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;img id="cid_394644" src="/files/2c841259095197.jpg" alt="2c84" hspace="5" width="453" height="369"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; 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. &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Don't be afraid that your life will end,&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; be afraid that it will never begin. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;img id="cid_394650" src="/files/34231259095392.jpg" alt="3423" hspace="5" width="472" height="393"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Some folks believe that there's a whole legion of guardian angels with us at all times, right there by our side every time a difficult or taxing situation comes up. They invisibly hold our hands, silently offer us words of comfort and make decisions that would be too tough for our mortal souls to handle alone. Don't be surprised if you feel the presence of one of those lovely creatures today.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;(All poems by Fireeyes24-They are reposts but very fitting for the moment.)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(I have been staying off OS and only checking pms. I was told last night everyone was worried about me and wanted to know if I was okay. I am OKAY. I am a very strong person with a lot of inner strength and faith in God. I am being strong for Robin and myself and we both will make it through all of this. I didn't mean to worry anyone. God bless you all... Love and hugs Fireeyes24)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This song is for all my great friends here on OS..

&lt;div id="uvp_fop"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Inner Peace of Mind&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I will be more afraid of spirit-unrest, of soul-disturbance, of any ruffling of the mind, &lt;br&gt;Than of earthquake or fire. &lt;br&gt;When I feel the calm of my spirit has been broken by emotional upset, &lt;br&gt;Then I must steal away alone with God, &lt;br&gt;Until my heart sings and all things are strong and calm again.&lt;br&gt;Uncalm times are the only times when evil can find an entrance. &lt;br&gt;I will beware of unguarded spots of unrest.&lt;br&gt;I will try to keep calm, no matter what turmoil surrounds me. &lt;br&gt;I pray that no emotional upsets will hinder God&amp;rsquo;s power in my life. &lt;br&gt;I pray that I may keep a calm spirit and a steady heart. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The inward peace that comes from trust in God truly passes all understanding. &lt;br&gt;That peace no one can take away from you. &lt;br&gt;No person has any power to disturb that inner peace. &lt;br&gt;But you must be careful not to let in the world&amp;rsquo;s worries and distractions.&lt;br&gt;You must try not to give entrance to fears and despondency.&lt;br&gt;You must refuse to open the door to distractions that disturb your inward peace.&lt;br&gt;Make it a point to allow nothing today to disturb your inner peace, your heart-calm. &lt;br&gt;I pray that I may not allow those about me to spoil my peace of mind. &lt;br&gt;I pray that I may keep a deep inner calm throughout the day. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;(This is a repost. But I thought I would repost it because of all the trouble that has been going on here on OS, in the last couple days&lt;/em&gt;.

&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Let your experiences inpsire you and follow your passion.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Part of the master piece is waiting for the finish.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;Fill your paper with breathings of your heart. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="cid_387794" src="/files/f7ab1258442603.jpeg" alt="f7ab" hspace="5" width="457" height="313"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Life would be so much simpler if people lived and loved for today, and not worry so much about tomorrow.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The fastest way to learn something about yourself is to explore you limits. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(All Sayings By Fireeyes24)&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="width" value="425"&gt;
