Excerpt from 'The Notebook'
The reason it hurts so much to seperate is because our souls are connected. Maybe they always have been and will be. Maybe we've lived a thousand lives before this one and in each of them we've found each other. And maybe each time we've been forced apart for the same reasons. That means that this goodbye is both a goodbye for the past ten thousand...  more...

Thought for the Day
Thought for the Day   Too often we don't realize   what we have until it is gone;   Too often we wait too late to say   "I'm sorry - I was wrong."   Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones   we hold dearest to our hearts;   And we allow foolish things to tear our lives apart.  Far too many times we let   unimportant things into our minds;   And then it...  more...
