B, just want to share with you some of the thoughts the president imparted to us. it touched me especially the second one. i hope you also find some 'lift' in these words. its funny how i have learned to love life when for years i hated it and wished for death to come. life is indeed a celebration! and i'm happy to be celebrating it with you now, the ups and downs of it. our ups and downs. 11 months with you was no joke, no play. it was a good chance that i took and i'm glad that you're in my life now. you are a great woman! i'm proud and blessed to have known you. you're filled with so much stories, dreams and passion. you're amazed with what people do and talk about it with so much zealous. i thought you would never come. but i guess, god is really good. he made you and he led me to you. we share so many interesting conversations - about poop and all! and it's been great. i want to make more memories with you. more time laughing, talking, crying, watching tv and movies, goofing, making love, dreaming. more time loving each other and loving life.

ooops. i should have saved these words for the anniversary. hehehe but i guess i'll come up with some words. if not, i would ask you to read this again. happy 11th monthsawy b!

i love you baby. you'll always be loved by me.

• Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, it will achieve. Dream great dreams and make them come true. Do it now.
• You are unique. In all the history of the world there was never anyone else exactly like you, and in all infinity to come, there will never be another you. Never affirm self-limitations. What you believe yourself to be, you are.
• To accomplish great things, you must not act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost - put foundations under them. Yes you can. Believing is magic.
• You can always better your best. You don't know what you can do until you try. Nothing will come of nothing. If you don't go out on a limb, you're never going to get the fruit. There is no failure except in no longer trying.
• Hazy goals produce hazy results. Clearly define your goals. Write them down, make a plan for achieving them, set a deadline, visualize the results and go after them. Just don't look back unless you want to go that way.
• Defeat may test you, but it need not stop you. If at first you don't succeed, try another way. For every obstacle there is a solution. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. The greatest mistake is giving up.
• Wishing will not bring success, but planning, persistence, and a burning desire will. There is a gold mine within you from which you can extract all the necessary ingredients. Success is an attitude. Get yours right.

• It is astonishing how short a time it takes for every wonderful thing to happen. Now, show us the colors of your rainbow.
