"Our similarities provide us with a common ground, but our differences allow us to be fascinated by one another. Differences give human encounters their snap and their fizz and their brew."

Quote:
I have always noticed the simple things!!! |
Good Morning always starts my day,
in the most delightful pleasant way. I've got coffee in my cup, I get kisses from my pup. My hubs greets me with a hug & a smile. I know he'll be cooking breakfast in awhile. I don't know what today will bring. I hope I get to laugh, and dance, and sing. One thing I know for sure, life is one hell of a grand adventure! My life is good and I'm happy as can be, because it really is good to be me. ~For Michael, I love you!! |
Wise Women
Sometimes I feel as if four thousand years of silencing women, of the fear of women who were burned in oil or eviscerated in front of their daughters, is imprinted deep within me and has altered my DNA.
Olympia Dukakis The most notable fact our culture imprints on women is the sense of our limits. The most important thing one woman can do for another is to illuminate and expand her sense of actual possibilities. Adrienne Rich The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls. Elizabeth Cady Stanton |
"Don't have sex man. It leads to kissing and pretty soon you have to start talking to them." -Steve Martin

Someone is going to hurt you sooner or later, you just have to decide who's worth the pain.

"Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots. - Frank Howard Clark |
"For me, a page of good prose is where one hears the rain and the noise of battle. It has the power to give grief or universality that lends it a youthful beauty." - John Cheever |
"Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at it destination full of hope." - Maya Angelou |
But I am not going to live for ever. And the more I know it, the more amazed I am by being here at all.
~William Hurt |
Speak up for yourself, or you’ll end up a rug. Mae West

a sweet song by: Chantal Kreviazuk | Feels Like Home
Something in your eyes
Makes me want to lose myself Makes me want to lose myself In your arms There's something in your voice Makes my heart beat fast Hope this feeling lasts The rest of my life If you only knew how lonely my life has been And how long I've been so alone If you knew how I wanted someone to come along And change my life the way you've done. It feels like home to me It feels like home to me It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from It feels like home to me It feels like home to me It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong. A window breaks down a long dark street And a siren wails in the night But I'm alright 'cause I have you here with me And I can almost see through the dark there is light. If you knew how much this moment means to me And how long I have waited for your touch If you knew how happy you are making me I never thought I'd love anyone so much. It feels like home to me It feels like home to me It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from It feels like home to me It feels like home to me Feels like I'm all he way back here I belong, Where I belong. :stillheart: |
"A smile is the light in the window of your face that tells people you're at home." ~Author Unknown |
"A smile appeared upon her face as if she'd taken it directly from her handbag and pinned it there." ~Loma Chandler |
"I have a tickle in my brain. And it keeps making the corners of my mouth point toward the heavens." ~Jeb Dickerson |
“Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different.”
~Stacy Charter |

"Within each one of us there is another whom we do not know. He speaks to us in dreams and tells us how differently he sees us from how we see ourselves. When, therefore, we find ourselves in a difficult situation, to which there is no solution, he can sometimes kindle a light that radically alters our attitude, the very attitude that led us into the difficult situation." -Carl G. Jung (1875-1961)

But gods are like that. They fall apart as you begin to consider things logically, no matter what the religion. ~Anu Garg

Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think.

"I'm not so good at taking my own advice, she said, but that doesn't mean I don't know what's right." ~ Brian Andreas, "Storypeople"

DON'T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY... Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

Lost Faith by my brother from another mother
How do I find the words when I can't even find the heart
How do I know what to say to someone that doesn't feel safe in love when I too have lost faith.... Written by JFN excerpt from one of her songs. |
Love doesn't drop on you unexpectedly; you have to give off signals, sort of like an amateur radio operator.
~Helen Gurley Brown |

But I forgot that your hands fed the roots, watering the tangled roses, till your fingertips bloomed full, in a natural peace. Like pets, your hoe and your sprinkling can follow you around, biting and licking the earth. That work is how you let this richness loose, the carnations fiery freshness. I wish the love and dignity of bees for your hands, mixing and spreading their transparent brood in the earth: They cultivate even my heart, So that I am like a scorched rock that suddenly sings when you are near, because it drinks the water you carry from the forest, in your voice. -Pablo Neruda :stillheart: |
"One problem with gazing too frequently into the past is that we may turn around to find the future has run out on us.” – Michael Cibenko |
