no for an answer.

21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, and wear the fancy lingerie.

will this matter?'

31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

32. Do not take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

33. Believe in miracles.

34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you
did or did not do.
