I Believe

I believe in random acts of kindness.
I believe in simple, small gestures.
I believe a handshake is a contract.
I believe in good manners at the table and in general.
I believe in the power of positive thinking.
I believe a person of true faith does not require a religion.
I believe animals have souls.
I believe hugs have healing powers.
I believe silence speaks volumes.

“Only boring people get bored.”
Ross A. McCoubrey, One Boy's Shadow

“I’ll cover your mouth with one hand to muffle any noise you make, I promise.”
I couldn’t help it. I laughed. Shane was giggling too as he said, “Guess that’s not very romantic, huh?”
"Not really. It’s oddly kinda hot, but, no, not very romantic.”
“Fair enough.” Shane flopped over on his back, still snickering.”
Ross A. McCoubrey, One Boy's Shadow

“Yep. That’s her. Man, what I wouldn’t give to nail her. I’m on MSN with Jordan. He gave me the link to this awesome site. Nothing but bikini babes.” “I’m glad I didn’t wait too long to come down here. You might have been preoccupied,” I joked. Blake chuckled. “You might be right.”
Ross A. McCoubrey, One Boy's Shadow
