"At some point, too low cut of a top, that shows too much cleavage, just starts to look like butt cheeks to me..."

Letting go doesn't mean we don't care. Letting go doesn't mean we shut down.
Letting go means we stop trying to force outcomes and make people behave. It means we give up resistance to the way things are, for the moment. It means we stop trying to do the impossible--controlling that which we cannot--and instead, focus on what is possible--which usually means taking care of ourselves. And we do this in gentleness, kindness, and love, as much as possible. Melody Beattie |
The Tao Te Ching says, When I let go of what I am, I become what
I might be. When I let go of what I have, I receive what I need. Have you ever struggled to find work or love, only to find them after you have given up? This is the paradox of letting go. Let go, in order to achieve. Letting go is God's law. Mary Manin Morrissey |

In my garden there is a large place for sentiment. My garden of flowers is also my garden of thoughts and dreams. The thoughts grow as freely as the flowers, and the dreams are as beautiful.

If you believe everything you read, better not read. -Japanese proverb
The measure of a truly great man is the courtesy with which he treats lesser men. - Unknown It is necessary for us to learn from others' mistakes. You will not live long enough to make them all yourself. -Adm. Hyman G. Rickover |
I believe
“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.” ― Marilyn Monroe

The trick of living is to slip on and off the planet with the least fuss you can muster. I’m not a professional philanthropist, and I’m not running for sainthood. I just happen to think that in life we need to be a little like the farmer who puts back into the soil what he takes out.
Paul Newman |
If we do not rise to the challenge of our unique capacity to shape our lives, to seek the kind of growth that we find individually fulfilling, then we can have no security; we will live in a world of sham, in which our selves are determined by the will of others, in which we will be constantly buffeted and increasingly isolated by the changes round us.

Being stuck is a position few of us like. We want something
new but cannot let go of the old—old ideas, beliefs, habits, even thoughts. We are out of contact with our own genius. Sometimes we know we are stuck; sometimes we don’t. In both cases we have to do something. Inga Teekens |
You don't really want me to see things through your eyes, the risk is too great that I will realize you're even more foolish than I originally assumed. - Unknown

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” – Henry David Thoreau
“People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates.” – Thomas Szasz “Know yourself. Don’t accept your dog’s admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful.” – Ann Landers :) |
it's true that we don't know what we've got until we lost it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. anonymous
the brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches. unknown we must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. E.M. Forester some think holding on makes then strong; but sometimes it is letting go that really does it. Heman Hesse you gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. you are able to say to yourself 'i have lived through this horror. i can take the next thing that comes along.' you must do the thing you think you cannot do. Eleanor Roosevelt |
Love yourself a little more every day, and your life will only get
better. There will be more of everything. Negatives will dissolve, relationships will improve. What you believe about yourself and the life that you so desire will come true if you love yourself. Affirm who you are, and what you want from this life. Move forward and be profoundly liberated. ~Gigi Galluzzo |
love love love this !
Your heart is your most precious gift; your heart is your truth, your compassion, your strength, and your beauty but most importantly your heart is love. Use these tools that are embedded within your heart to create the most beautiful life for yourself. When you dream make sure that you dream big and when you think make sure that you think big. You can see a box when you look at it with your eyes but you can look within and outside of a box when you see it with your heart. Life is about growth and change and you must accept and adapt to everything in life once you decide to grow and move forward. Do not ever feel sorry for yourself, do not make up excuses for yourself, and never take life for granted ~♥~ Lee Held |
I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken -- and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.

'dont eat that. i dropped it on the ground a few minutes ago and i'm gonna eat it later when no one remembers.' - the 4 year old next door 'how can you be so unforgiving of yourself? you are a child of the Universe which made no mistakes when It made you, fully aware of all that you would and would not do in this lifetime. with that knowledge, you were given a life anyway. this is the strongest indicator that you are doing exactly what you were meant to do in order to learn what you needed to learn. do you not see that you were a choice? G*d made you by choice knowing all there is to know about you from the beginning until the end of time. if that Power which made you is not at all surprised at your flaws and imperfections, even at your worst, how can you not forgive yourself also? deny the wisdom of G*d all you like but It will never deny the wisdom of creating you.' Mullá Husayn |
I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

" Karma moves in two directions. If we act virtuously, the seed we plant will result in happiness. If we act non-virtuously, suffering results. "
Sakyong Mipham " Give up your selfishness, and you shall find peace; like water mingling with water, you shall merge in absorption. " Sri Guru Granth Sahib |
"If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience."
Robert Fulghum "I do not believe the meaning of life is a puzzle to be solved. Life is. I am. Anything might happen. And I believe I may invest my life with meaning. The uncertainty is a blessing in disguise. If I were absolutely certain about all things, I would spend my life in anxious misery, fearful of losing my way. But since everything and anything are always possible, the miraculous is always nearby and wonders shall never, ever cease." Robert Fulghum |
I love this one...
"The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. No, not at all. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass where ever you may be."
Robert Fulghum |
i've heard that the grass is always greener on the other side because it is filled with manure

Bella Abzug
• They used to give us a day--it was called International Women's Day. In 1975 they gave us a year, the Year of the Woman. Then from 1975 to 1985 they gave us a decade, the Decade of the Woman. I said at the time, who knows, if we behave they may let us into the whole thing. Well, we didn't behave and here we are.
• Women have been trained to speak softly and carry a lipstick. Those days are over. • I am not being facetious when I say that the real enemies in this country are the Pentagon and its pals in big business. • The inside operation of Congress -- the deals, the compromises, the selling out, the co-opting, the unprincipled manipulating, the self-serving career-building -- is a story of such monumental decadence that I believe if people find out about it they will demand an end to it. |
