Laugh your heart out. Dance in the rain. Cherish the moment. Ignore the pain. Live, love, laugh. Forgive &amp; Forget. Life&#039;s too short to live with regrets.

To see a world in a grain of sand,<br /> And a heaven in a wild flower,<br /> Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,<br /> And eternity in an hour.
