A friend on another website recently shared these words of wisdom with me.  
                                           I haven't found the author yet, but I'm not letting that stop me from sharing                  
                                           this with you.                                                                    

                                      Lovely Thoughts

When it rains, you don’t see the sun,
but it’s there.
I hope we can be like that.
We don’t see each other,
but we’ll always be there for each other.

Don’t underestimate the power of a touch,
a smile, a kind word, a listening ear,
an honest compliment or a smallest act of caring,
all of which have the potential  of
turning a life around.

Be genuinely interested in people.
If you try, you can like everybody,
and everybody will like you.

Call people by name.
The sweetest music to everyone’s ear
is the sound of their own name.

Every moment, every situation,
every issue and every concern
has a positive side.
Find it and bring it to life.

If you see someone without a smile,
give them one of yours.

Life ends when you stop dreaming.
Hope ends when you stop believing.
Love ends when you stop caring.
And friendship ends when you stop sharing.
