When life gives u lemons, make lemonade. Then, throw it in the face of the person who should've gotten you the oranges you orginally asked for.
What we do is determined by what we are. What we are is determined by what we think. What we think is determined by what we experience. What we experience is determined by what we are exposed to and what we do with that exposure.
(MIKE VANCE and DIANE DEACON)
Life is like a book with many different chapters. Some tell of tragedy, others of triumph. Some chapters are dull and ordinary, others intense and exciting. The key to being a success in life is to never stop on a difficult page, to never quit on a tough chapter. Champions have the courage to keep turning the pages because they know a better chapter lies ahead.
(RICH RUFFALO)
Because you're able to do it and because you have the right to do it, doesn't mean it's right to do it.
(Dr.LAURA SCHLESSINGER)
We are born with our eyes closed and our mouths open, and we spend our whole lives trying to reverse that mistake of nature.
(DALE E.TURNER)
You can have anything you want if you want it desperately enough. You must want it with an inner exuberance that erupts through the skin and joins the energy that created the world.
(SHEILAH GRAHAM)
We all have the ability. The difference is how we use it.
(STEVIE WONDER)
Everything is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied.
One person can make a difference and every person should try.
The one thing worse than being alone is not being alone and wishing you were.
Real difficulties can be overcome, it is only the imaginary ones that are unconquerable.
(THEODORE N.VAIL)
The goal in marriage is not to think alike, but to think together.
(ROBERT C. DODDS)
Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not, but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
(EPICURUS)
When you look in the mirror, you are looking at the problem, but remember, you are also looking at the solution.
Live your life, so you don't have to hide your diary.
Dream what you dare to dream. Go where you want to go. Be what you want to be.
(CALVIN COOLIDGE)
The first thing of importance is to have confidence in yourself, in your abilities.
(KATHARINE GIBBS)
Become a 'possibilitarian'. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see the possibilities-always see them, for they are always there.
(NORMAN VINCENT PEALE)
DAVID COPPERFIELD just might be the greatest magician and illusionist of all time. He is definitely a legend in his own time. Here are some of his most inspiring quotes...
'The easiest thing in the world is to come up with an excuse not to do something. I found that the most important thing in life is to stop saying,'I wish,' and to start saying,'I will.'
'Before there can be wonders, there must be wonder.'
'Whenever I pursued my dreams, I discovered something astonishing-I discovered myself. My secret has been to consider nothing impossible. Then to treat possibilities as probabilities.'
'Passion is everything.'
'I learned that there were two ways I could live my life: following my dreams or doing something else. Dreams aren't a matter of chance, but a matter of choice. When I dream, I believe I am rehearsing my future.'
Miracles do not happen in contradiction to nature, but only in contradiction to that which is known to us of nature.
(SAINT AUGUSTINE)
The world is composed of givers and takers... the takers may eat better, but the givers sleep better.
Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
(ROBERT FROST)
Love is a fruit in season at all times and within reach of every hand.
(MOTHER TERESA)

What can I say to my friend who had a miscarriage last week? It's just now hitting her and I dont know what to do. She has one child already but wants another one. I have 2, and feel bad bringing my baby around her because I dont want to rub it in that mine was ok. (link)

If she's really your friend, she would never feel jealous of you or envy you or wish that she had a baby too like yours, and if you usually do bring your baby around, then its cool, its not like your doing something intentionally unusual that could make her think that your rubbing it in her face ,you know.
Other than that, its a really tough situation and a very hard time for her, so all you can do is be there and tell her how there is still a chance for her to have another one, and a third one, and that everything is gonna be okay, and that a couple of years from now, you'll be together and you'll bring your kids to each others' houses, and you'll think back at all this ,and you'll see how things changed,and how there is always hope and a chance to make things different,and yes we fall down and go through horrible things, but we have to move on, and we should always try, and who knows, maybe somehow god (if you believe in him, i'm saying this with all do respect) did this for a reason, maybe he knows better, i mean, maybe the baby could have come but turned out to have problems that would affect him and would hurt his mother all throughout her life instead of hurting just once for losing him, and i know its probably not called 'once' cause i'm sure she's gonna remember him all her life, but she just has to believe that somehow this might have been for the best, and no one knows the future, or what might have happened or was yet to come. So the only thing you can do, is to be there for her, nothing else is gonna make the pain go away,and make her hopeful and make her see the bright side, and there is always another chance.
Hope i helped, if you need anything else, please be free to contact me.Best of luck!

She and I do both believe in God and that's really the only thing I can talk about. I'm always afraid to use Him in situations like these because what if it makes the person start to lose faith? I told her that the baby is now an angel and can watch over her big brother, and maybe this was also God's way of giving her more time with that baby while he needs her so much (he's about to turn 1 in a couple weeks and just started walking).
The baby did have a genetic disorder and she knew she would miscarry about a month before she lost the little girl. She didnt tell me anything until about a week before. Her brain knows that it's better for the baby to move on now, rather than suffer severe deformities or something... but that doesnt make her heart feel better. You did give me some things I can use, and I really appreciate your time and willingness to help.
