I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting about 2009. Instead of writing specific, descriptive statements illustrating the lessons I’ve learned this past year, I wrote some pretty fantastic inspirational tid bits. Please, if you’re inspired by them, feel free to post them as your status on your facebook, write them down to fill a blank greeting card, or use instead of “hello” when answering the phone.

— The smile of a toddler can heal a thousand broken hearts

— Reach for the stars, but don’t be afraid to ask for a ladder.

— A bad friend bugs. A good friend hugs.

— Inspiration plus truth minus judgement equals integrity.

— Rain is just God crying because he is proud of you.

— Money is only worth the amount of love you can buy with it. Think about it.

— Your reputation precedes you, and business is good.

— Your smile is the power plant for your heart.

— Don’t wait for inspiration. Steal it.

— Stick your neck out once in a while. Turtles do and they do ok as far as life goes.

— Heaven is just Earth’s penthouse apartment.
