 Making
wise choices regarding the food we eat requires an
understanding of the facts. Selection of snacks should
be based on more than taste and appearance. Nutritional
value related to calories is an important indication of
whether you're getting real food value in snacks. Try to
limit the snack calories to 100 to 200 calories.

Maybe someday
 Maybe
someday you'll start living every day true to the best
that is within you. Maybe someday you'll really start to
seriously pursue your most treasured dreams. Maybe
someday you'll stop holding back and live the richness
of every moment. Maybe someday you'll show the world who
you really are.
Maybe someday you'll see how truly beautiful life can
be. Maybe someday you'll understand that nothing can
hold you back.
Maybe someday you'll decide that your life cannot wait
any longer. Maybe someday you'll wake up, see how
useless most of your worries have been, and simply leave
them behind.
Maybe someday is coming. Maybe someday will be sooner
than you think.
Maybe someday you'll decide to start living life for
everything it can possibly be, and you'll wonder why you
ever waited so long.
Maybe someday is here.
