But the other four balls—family,health,friends and spirit—are made of glass.If you drop one of these,they will be irrevocably scuffed,marked,nicked,damaged or even shattered. 4 E6 [; N3 s' y3 m b- s9 o8 }

5 A7 {$ \3 ?% F, S$ \, s3 q+ y* [, u Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. 4 b& i2 h2 F+ ^& E
The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to give it wings.
