Lois Lowry: "If you were to be lost in the river, your memories would not be lost with you. Memories are forever."

I've learned that life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and that life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never ending commitment to push forward even when times are tough.

Life is too short to hide your feelings. Don't be afraid to say what you feel.

You can't bring back the past, and you're not promised the future, so enjoy life now.
