Beautiful laughing children

Had a store full of beautiful laughing children today.

Don’t ever settle for a relationship where your partner tells you the time or the money isn’t right to start a family but refuses to tell you when and how much will make it right. What they are really telling you is the time and the money will never be right to have a family with you.

Don’t live with regrets.

“When I peruse the conquer’d fame of heroes, and the victories of mighty generals, I do not envy the generals, Nor the President in his Presidency, nor the rich in his great house; But when I hear of the brotherhood of lovers, how it was with them, How through life, through dangers, odium, unchanging, long and long, Through youth, and through middle and old age, how unfaltering, how affectionate and faithful they were, Then I am pensive—I hastily walk away, fill’d with the bitterest envy.” - Walt Whitman
