I received this from my cousin.  It's long, but worth sharing.  Eleanor

 I believe-that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends
change.

 I believe- that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you
every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

 I believe- that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest
distance.     Same goes for true love.

 I believe- that you can do something in an instant that will give you
heartache for life.

 I believe that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

 I believe- that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may
be the last time you see them.

 I believe- that you can keep going long after you can't.

 I believe- that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

 I believe- that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

 I believe- that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first,
the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.

 I believe- that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it
needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

 I believe- that money is a lousy way of keeping score.

 I believe- that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the
best time.

 I believe- that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're
down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

 I believe- that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but
that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

 I believe- that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them
to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

 I believe- that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences
you've had        and what you've learned from them and less to do with how
many birthdays you've celebrated.

 I believe- that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes
you have to learn to forgive yourself.

 I believe- that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't
stop for your grief.

 I believe- that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we
are, but we are responsible for who we become.

 I believe- that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't
love each other.  And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

 I believe- that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could
change your life forever.

 I believe- that two people can look at the exact same thing and see
something totally        different.

 I believe- that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who
don't even know you.

 I believe- that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend
cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.

 I believe- that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

 I believe- that the people you care about most in life are taken from you
too soon.

 Send this to all the people YOU BELIEVE In...

 I just did. >>
