That's why they call it the present."

today is a gift:
That's why they call it the present."
Elenore Roosevelt
Live each day to the fullest and try not to regret anything you have done or said and apologize if you do. It will make you feel better and you will be a better person.
Try to live in another persons shoes.
Be the bigger person and Forgive.
A man told me once when I offered to pay him for helping me.
That God put us on this earth to help each other.
It would truly be a better world if everyone did.
Hope everyone has a great and wonderful day!!
