-Life is a gamble from minute to minute so play it today for all there is in it. The flick of an eye lash, the quirk of a smile. A good deed here and there makes it all worthwhile. So make life a garden for everyday and gather your rosebudes while you may.

-A friend and I were talking about the control that comes with thinking life is as it should be with us in it. But the truth is, life is exactly planned.
