Some words from a friend

A dear friend left a note on my desk yesterday before she left on vacation.  Here is what the note said:  

• You are blessed!  
• You have all you need.  
• God is with you.  
• Follow your heart.  
• The right people for your life love you - The rest don't matter.  
• Listen to those who love you - Ignore the rest
• Ignore the voices of people trying to hurt you - They try to transfer their pain to you.
• Others attempt to apply what's in their heads to you - reject it.
• There comes a time to move away from things that won't change.
• Change your thoughts.

 I think that is one of the nicest things anyone has said to me in a while.  William Arthur Ward wrote "A true friend knows your weaknesses but shows you your strengths; feels your fears but fortifies your faith; sees your anxieties but frees your spirit; recognizes your disabilities but emphasizes your possibilities."
