Sometimes it is the three things of many...the first is to be kind, the second is to be kind, and the third is to be kind...in the end only 3 things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you...three things cannot long be hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth...objectives that shape us, get us thro' the day and bring joy in strange times...I matter, I am important and I belong...
