I believe...

I didn’t make this up, but I agree with it! My mom sent this to me in an email. I get lots of fwds in my mailbox. It takes me a long time to actually sit down and read them. This one really hit me, so I thought I would share. As I read these things - different times in my life popped into my head. Maybe it will do the same for you. Enjoy!
