Quotes From Facebook Posts

Saw several quotes this week on different people's FB posts.  Just wanted to share.

1.  "I have learned you can't make someone love you.  All you can do is be someone who can be loved."
     While that sounds kinda like a "duh, huh" kinda of comment when you stop and think about it there are people who feel so unlovable that they foster that attitude and make it difficult to love them.

2.  "You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have."
     Boy is there ever truth in that!  I said several times during Bobby's illness and after his death that you find strength that you didn't even know you had.

3.  "Missing someone isn't about how long it has been since you have seen or talked to them.  It is about that very moment when you find yourself doing something and wishing they were by your side."
    
4.  "Holding a grudge is letting someone live rent free in your head."
    This is so true.  It gives the other party control over you.

And my favorite:

5:  "At the end of the day all we have is who we are."
     This pretty well sums up a conversation that Dumbass and I had this week.  All that we go through helps shape us into the person that we are becoming.  We can't change the past but we can learn from it and strive to be a better person.  We might as well learn from it and learn to live with it because it will always be a part of who we are.  What we do have control over is how much it controls us and do we become a better person for it, whatever it is.  We are who we are and you can accept it or guess what guess what?  You can march your happy a@@ on and never know what you missed.  Wasn't it the Army that had the slogan, Be All That You Can Be.  Have a great day.
