Thoughts for the Evening



These little reminders have been around for sometime -- they're still true.

Life is short,
Break the rules,
Forgive quickly,
Kiss slowly,
Love truly,
Laugh uncontrollably,
And never regret anything that made you smile.
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance.

    I agree with most of it. There is however one line that kept me thinking. There has been couple of times when I have laughed and smiled when it wasn´t a good idea, because I felt evil afterwards.
