Thought

Happiness is like a butterfly,

if you chase it its always beyond your reach.

But if you just sit still long enough

you will see it is right there.

I went to MN for a work training.  While visiting there two of my gracious coworkers

offered to take me to dinner and one of the places that I wanted to see, The Sculpture Gardens.

It was so kind of them to take time out of their personal lives to hang out in the evening with me! 

The sayings below were all carved on stone/granite benches in one area of the gardens.  Most of them were

so morbid in thought and some quite disturbing but there were a few funny ones and a few that caught my eye.  This first one reminded me of Randy.... hehehe.....

Thought:

WHEN SOMEONE HURTS US

WE SHOULD WRITE IT DOWN

IN SAND, WHERE WINDS OF

FORGIVENESS CAN ERASE IT AWAY.

BUT, WHEN SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING GOOD FOR US,

WE MUST ENGRAVE IT IN STONE

WHERE NO WIND CAN EVER ERASE IT'

LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN

THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR

BENEFITS IN STONE.

Thought:

"I will love you for you,

Not for what you have done,

Or what you'll become....

I will love you for you."
