I picked this card up and gave it to someone. It rang my morbid sense of humor that just fits people who just had or has a kidney transplant.

If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

It is the card I sent to KellyT for the Secret Santa. I just happened to see it at my colleges book store and thought of her  recent transplant, so I got it.
