The only way
                  to live is
           to  accept  each
             minute as an
      unrepeatable miracle,
           which is exactly
      what  it  is -- a  miracle
         and unrepeatable
                 and know
   sometimes it's good to pause
             in our pursuit of
        happiness and  just  be
                    happy
             and remember,
     one thought driven home
              is better than
           three left on base.

        The human body was  
             wisely designed
       so  that we can neither
   pat  our  own  back  nor kick
         ourselves too easily
  and  remember  that  no one
          lives in perfection
     and  tomorrow  is  a  new
           untarnished day,
              and you can
         be hurt only if you
                  care a lot.
