HA!
If you smile when no one else is around, you really mean it.
~Andy Rooney |
The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief.
~William Shakespeare, Othello |
The supreme happiness of life is the conviction of being loved for yourself, or, more correctly, being loved in spite of yourself. - Victor Hugo
|
Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.

what if this is it
right here right now your defining moment what if every event, heartache, and mistake was perfectly planned to lead you into the situation you presently find yourself in what if mystic voices whispered answers to you while you sleep and people are carefully thrown in your path all for the evolution of your greatest good whether you like them or not what if it did not matter what you did or said or felt in the past what if it was not an accurate prediction of what your future will look like what if you were not the only one feeling this way tired and lost joyful and free all at the same time what if others were also thirsty for the same soul balm you were craving what if you could meet them simply by following your own truth what if the reason you don’t fit it feel outside the box outside the norm is because you were not built to fit but to create your own molds and make your own set of rules what if they were wrong the mean voices that live in your head that say things like “no you can’t” and “that is not possible” and “what a stupid idea” what if those voices do not belong to you but some hurt angry child you never met that needs love and care what if your faults were also your assets disguised as flaws what if nothing was random not even a spilled cup of coffee or a broken heel on the way to work what if there is no one left to impress what if there is nothing wrong with you and nothing wrong with them what if it was all striped away your comforts distractions addictions and praise so you could finally meet the raw, naked version of yourself who is much stronger and bad ass than you expected what if this helps you see what you are really made of and you realize that is it not only more than enough but that you yes you dear soul are nothing short of extraordinary BY MCCABE RUSSELL |
Among men, it seems, historically at any rate, that processes of co-ordination and disintegration follow each other with great regularity, and the index of the co-ordination is the measure of the disintegration which follows. There is no mob like a group of well-drilled soldiers when they have thrown off their discipline. And there is no lostness like that which comes to a man when a perfect and certain pattern has dissolved about him. There is no hater like one who has greatly loved. -John Steinbeck, novelist, Nobel laureate (1902-1968)

He has achieved success who has lived well laughed often and loved much. Bessie A. Stanley

What is now proved was once only imagined. - William Blake - |
“I often think that a slightly exposed shoulder emerging from a long satin nightgown packed more sex than two naked bodies in bed.”
-Bette Davis |
"your name here"
With pithy public-service announcements about the transitory nature of existence, I remind myself regularly not to get too comfortable here. But it's the kind of advertising that's immediately forgotten as I settle into my comfortable home. In the morning, I take a shower - plenty of hot water - and slip into one of several familiar identities, a few of them the worse for wear but nothing a little accessorizing won't fix. They all answer to the name "Sy." They all recognize Sy's aging face in the mirror. They're all unable to accept that at any moment all of this will end. |
If you can learn from hard knocks, you can also learn from soft touches. . .
~ Carolyn Kenmore |
Self-worth comes from one thing - - thinking that you are worthy. - Dr. Wayne W. Dyer - |
Repose.
Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment. ~Henry David Thoreau

Your Attitude + Your Choice = Your Life - Unknown - |
"For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid.
"At last it dawned on Me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment you have and remember: time waits for no one. Happiness is a journey, not a destination." ~ Souza |

a tricky bit of business, this believing in someone else. so tricky that we would never do it, if we did not want someone, someday to believe in us, too. because when you say you miss someone, you mean you miss the way you were before you started missing someone. |
What we must decide is how we are valuable rather than how valuable we are. - Edgar Z. Friedenberg

Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other .Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.
