One of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas day. Don't clean it up too quickly.
~Andy Rooney

Christmas is a necessity. There has to be at least one day of the year to remind us that we're here for something else besides ourselves. ~Eric Sevareid

Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen. ~Author unknown, attributed to a 7-year-old named Bobby

We have a hunger of the mind which asks for knowledge of all around us, and the more we gain, the more is our desire; the more we see, the more we are capable of seeing.

- Maria Mitchell

Spirit Dancer · 12-14-2010, 10:01 AM

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury,
and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable,
and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly;
to listen to the stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart;
to bear on cheerfully, do all bravely, awaiting occasions, worry never;
in a word to, like the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious,
grow up through the common.

William Ellery Channing

"I don't understand
And I look up and around me
As if my surroundings would tell me the answers
The wind whisper it in my ear
The stars twinkle it in morse code
I catch myself
Silly to think I could find any answers
Any reasons for what happens in this life
I don't understand " - Author Unknown

"We have no right to ask when sorrow comes, "Why did this happen to me?" unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way." ~Author Unknown

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

~Herm Albright, quoted in Reader's Digest, June 1995

A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

~Roald Dahl

Got a garden of songs where I grow all my thoughts
Wish I could harvest one or two for some small talk
I'm always starving for words whenever you're around
Nothing on my tongue so much in the ground.

Ani Difranco

Diva · 12-14-2010, 02:28 PM

When you look into my eyes
And you see the crazy gypsy in my soul
It always comes as a surprise
When I feel my withered roots begin to grow
Well I never had a place that I could call my very own
That's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home.

~Billy Joel

"To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe."
- Anatole France

“Normally, when someone says, ‘I’m so disillusioned,’ we try to comfort them. We ought to congratulate them instead! To be ‘disillusioned’ means to lose an illusion—and that is a very good thing. Can we turn from grieving our lost illusions to see the reality that’s there, looking for what’s real and possible that might make for a better real world?” ~Parker Palmer

Girls can wear jeans
And cut their hair short
Wear shirts and boots
'Cause it's OK to be a boy
But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading
'Cause you think that being a girl is degrading
But secretly you'd love to know what it's like
Wouldn't you
What it feels like for a girl

Madonna- What it feels like for a Girl
