The "We All Deserve A Second Chance...Please Remember That"

It was an ordinary day.  Sun was shining through my window and the air felt a bit as if Spring was just around the corner....at least I hope it is.   Searching for a few quotes about "second chances" that I wanted to take with me to a special program I was attending and when I located them online, I thought I might share them with all my daily readers.  So... read a few and save what you might need for yourself or for a friend or acquaintance.  We all deserve a second chance from time to time and by reading the quotes you may see why you or a friend could benefit from your reading.  It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
