Excerpting part of an OPed on Ted Kulongoski (a two term governor from Oregon)
I was reading a news article published in the newest edition of the Willamette Week newspaper about Ted Kulongoski and felt that his mindset, quoted in the lines below, struck a familiar chord with me...
From page 14: "And he discussed a topic that shaped his approach to everything: his mother placing him in a St. Louis orphanage for much of his childhood. "I spent a lot of time in my life denying certain things about how I was raised"..."And what I know now more than anything at the age of 70 is, bad things happen to all of us. And we're not judged by how many bad things happen but by how you overcome them and actually make something of yourself."Jacquiss, N. & Zusman, M. (2010). "Goodbye, Gov: Ted Kulongoski's take on what's wrong with Unions, Higher Ed and Oregon Business." In, Willamette Week, pp. 13-17. City of Roses Newspaper Company. |

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.
It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. Albert Schweitzer |
The world is too big for us, too much is going on, too many crimes, too much violence and excitement. Try as you will, you get behind in the race in spite of yourself. It's a constant strain to keep pace. . . and still, you lose ground. Science empties its discoveries on you so fast that you stagger beneath them in hopeless bewilderment. The political world is news seen rapidly, you're out of breath trying to keep pace with who's in and who's out. Everything is high pressure. Human nature can't endure much more.

The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money...or the most awards. They simply are the ones who care the most.

My favorite wedding vows ever to hear... Madea's Family Reunion Vanessa And Frankie :
I never thought that I could meet someone like you. You are my friend. You are my smile. You are my everything. You are a breath-taking reflection of God's heart for me.... Of how he pursued me... And loved me even when I didn't love myself. You held my hand in the darkness and you pulled me out into the light. I love you... You are my light. And it doesnt matter what happens in this life as long as you're with me. When I look at you, I know that there's a God and that he loved me so much that he took the time to create you...just for me. I love you....past my mind....beyond my heart.... I love you for my soul. And that's the space where only you and God dwell. |

For many years now I have listened to the stories of people with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses as their counselor. From them I have learned how to enjoy the minute particulars of life once again, the grace of a hot cup of coffee, the presence of a friend, the blessing of having a new cake of soap or an hour without pain. Such humble experience is the stuff that many of the very best stories are made of. If we think we have no stories it is because we have not paid enough attention to our lives. Most of us live lives that are far richer and more meaningful than we appreciate.

Living inside my heart.....
When the sun came up this morning
And she smiled her smile for me I felt it for the first time Something deep inside of me So you can take your midnight rambling' boys And keep your winding roads She's living inside my heart now Livin' inside Oh there's an easiness about her There's a softness in her way But she gets me through the hard times We get closer every day I know I'll never be alone now boys Cause even if I'm far away She's living inside my heart now Livin inside And I don't know what I did to derserve her But I'll tell you my friend I'm never gonna loose her Never gonna loose her Cause every night She's livin' inside my heart now Livin inside |

Mother Teresa |
Passion is not friendly. It is arrogant, superbly contemptuous of all that is not itself, and as the very definition of passion implies the impulse to freedom, it has a mighty, intimidating power. It contains a challenge. It contains an unspeakable hope.
James Baldwin |
Hope is itself a species of happiness, and perhaps, the chief happiness which this world affords.
