Petunia In Paradise

I received this e-mail today and thought the sentiment was really sweet.  Plus, it pretty much defines my life story! I'm not sure that everything happens for a reason, but I guess I'd like to think that it does.  I haven't quite figured it all out yet.  What do you all think??  (Don't pay attention to the chain mail part where you must pass it on for something to happen.  I don't believe in that!)

          Subject: You are one of my balloons!:

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.

So love the people who treat you right.

Forget about the ones who don't.

Believe everything happens for a reason.. If you

get a second chance, grab it with both hands.   If it

changes your life, let it.  Nobody said life would be easy,

they just promised it would be worth  it.  

Friends are like balloons; once you let them go,

you can't get them back.  So I'm gonna tie you to

my heart so I never lose you.  Send this to all  your  

friends including me and see how many you get

back.   Send this balloon to everybody you like.  You

may also return it to me.   If four balloons are

returned to you, something you have been waiting

for a long time will happen!!!!   Believe me...... It

really happens!  Send a lot of little balloons to

your friends!!!
