One afternoon, I was in the backyard hanging the laundry when an old, tired-looking dog wandered into the yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home. But when I walked into the house, he followed me, sauntered down the hall and fell asleep in a corner. An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out. The next day he was back. He resumed his position in the hallway and slept for an hour.
This continued for several weeks. Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: "Every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap."
The next day he arrived with a different note pinned to his collar: "He lives in a home with ten children - he's trying to catch up on his sleep."

10. Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us does.
11. I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I
know there are no other cars around. That's how far ahead of me they are.
12. When the Officer says "Son, Your eyes look red,
have you been drinking?" You probably shouldn't respond with,
"Officer, your eyes looked glazed, have you been eating donuts

1. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people
before meeting the right one so that when we finally
meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful
for that gift.
2. Love is when you take away the feeling, the
passion, and the romance in a relationship and find
out that you still care for that person.
3. When the door of happiness closes, another opens
but often times we look so long at the closed door
that we don't see the one which has been opened for
us.

who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to
make a dark day seem bright.

to go, be what you want to be, because you have only

the best of everything, they just make the most of
everything that comes along their way.

hurt, those who have searched and those who have
tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of
people who have touched their lives.
12. The brightest future will always be based on a
forgotten past. You can't go on well in life until
you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
Somehow, I think we can all relate to this one...
