Little Angles !

Pets have always been a part of the human world. They are excellent companions and without them, chances are we would be lost and unable to tell our secrets to the world. Most of us know the positive effects of having a pet, especially what a pet dog can have on our lives. The wagging tail, the grinning mouth and the look of utter devotion in their ever melting eyes are few such pleasures we get when we come home after a long tiring day. Watching their funny and silly antics, can always keep us cheerful and make us forget our blues. Dogs can force us to exercise more, laugh out loud and can follows us all day long around the house, wagging their tail and make us feel very special. When it is a lazy Sunday and we are home, watching T.V with our dogs at our feet or lying alongside on our bed while we are reading a book, its defiantly pure nirvana.

If you consider bringing home a dog, then be aware that they also require high maintenance, tons of love, care and understanding of course oodles of feeding. But then, the fact that pet owners are less likely to suffer loneliness and depression covers up for all these and after all, “We live in a society where we do not like to cry in front of people but, a larger number of people who can cry in front of their pets, their little angles.”.

Growing up

Yes, almost gonna be 21!
I’ve learned who to trust
and who to close the eyes to!

I don’t forgive people because I'm weak. I forgive them because I'm strong enough to know that people make mistakes.

You spend twelve years of your life trying to learn how to live, but every time you to try to live in those twelve years you're told you're wrong. Then everyone you've grown to love is taken away and scattered. That's what they should teach you. How to say good-bye and let go.

The young faces we see in our old albums represent times when our biggest worries were Barbie and Ken's wedding, GI Joe's missing arm, whether I had enough Lego’s to build a fort, and why we had to eat vegetables at dinner again. Looking at these pictures today, sometimes we, the grownups, wish we could go back to such lighthearted days. But at the same, time moving on with our lives, making new memories, and gaining independence have become exciting realities that were once ideas that seemed so far away. Since sixth grade we have counted down the days until graduation. Now as the day approaches we are still anxious, but somewhat nervous. The faces in these pictures remind us of the people we once were and still are, the friends we have grown up with and also whom we will graduate with. Surviving the past 12 years wasn't easy, but in that time we had some of the best experiences of our lives. Those times are what made it meaningful.

When I was little I had this idea that life could be perfect. That if you were careful enough, you'd never make a mistake, never be lonely, never be misunderstood, never be frightened, but it doesn't work that way. Life is big and messy, and you just have to climb in it with your boots on and hope for the best.

Half of life is messing up; the other half is dealing with it. The catastrophe of life isn’t that it ends too soon it’s that we wait too long to begin it. Live life so completely that when death comes to you like a thief in the night, there will be nothing left for him to steal.

You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something in your life.

"Maybe if everyone had a little bird on their shoulder and every morning woke up and said 'Is today the day I’m going to die' people would live life differently." -Tuesdays with Morrie. (One book I’d recommend everyone to read)

Life is too short to be distracted by the opinions of others.

The hardest thing about growing up is that you have to do what's right for you even if it means breaking someone's heart, including your own.

By living each day to its absolute fullest you not only sleep better at night but you are one step closer to your dreams.

Take chances. Tell the truth. Learn to say no. Spend all your cash. Fall in love. Get to know someone random. Be random. Say I love you. Sing out loud. Fight with your best friend. Laugh at a stupid joke. Cry. Hug. Don’t believe in revenge. Apologize. Tell someone how much they mean to you. Tell a jerk what you feel. Let someone know what they're missing. Laugh till your stomach hurts. Take a lot of photos. Dance in the rain. Admire the nature. Go for a turtle walk with someone you love. Never lose hope and faith. Take some time alone. Meditate.
That’s my way of living life.

There is not a shred of evidence to support the theory that life is meant to be serious because “If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older.”
