This is what I know

I know that I am never too old to learn new things.

I know that I am imperfect.

I know that I can always change, if I choose to.

I know that love is real.

And once felt, never really goes away.

I know that time is short on this earth.

I know that there is good in every person.

I know that regardless of the weather, temperature or my geographic location, every day can be a good day.

I know that I am unique and that there will never again be another living person who is just like me.

I know that beauty, knowledge, and experience are subjective things.

I know that the family you have does not have to be the one you were born into.

I know that I am still going to get up in the morning anyway.

I know that the abilty to make art, in whatever form it is made, is the true expression of the human soul, and always a worthwhile pursuit.

I know that laughter is better than silence.

I know that occasionally, every person is alone, and that solitude can be both amazingly wonderful and excruciatingly terrible.

I know that I could be better.

I know that the feel of sunshine and wind and water are worth missing a day's work in a cubicle.

I know that words can crush a person or lift them up.

I know that friendship is worth cherishing.

I know that self portraits are good.
