A man who desires revenge should dig two graves.
When you're arguing with a fool, make sure he isn't doing the same thing. ~unknown~ |

NO ONE OWNS ME
Why would you dare What were you thinking You try to tell me what to do How I should be Where did the audacity come from What lead you to believe You could control me That you should even try Shocked by your implication That somehow you know better How can someone know what is better For only I know what is best for me Who I choose to spend time with Where I choose to focus my energy When I wish to do the things I want Laughable it is that you insinuate yourself My life it must be lived by me for me Pulling at my strings Now you are pulling at your own hair Not able to meet me in the freedom we used to share Because you thought you knew best No one owns me Never has, never will Impede my progress and get run over Watch as I head out the door A new adventure awaits Thought we sought these out together But, sadly you were all about controlling me Because you couldn't face yourself |
There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort. ~Jane Austen
Home is a shelter from storms - all sorts of storms. ~William J. Bennett I had rather be on my farm than be emperor of the world. ~George Washington |
“The more sand that has escaped from the hour-glass of our life, the clearer we see through it.”
Jean Paul Richter |
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meaness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain all! Even if they're a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whomever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. Jalal ad-Din Rumi |
I found this among my grandmothers possessions when she passed away. It seems very appropriate. Thanks Grammy for sharing your strength, it has made me a better person. (although some words may not seem appropriate today, the intent was in the expression of the words at that time)
Don't Quit When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low, and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with it's twists and turns, As everyone of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow, You may succeed with another blow. Success is failure turned inside out, The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far, So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit, It's when things seem worse, That you must not quit. ...Edgar A. Guest |
“Sometimes the best and worst times of your life can coincide. It is a talent of the soul to discover the joy in pain---thinking of moments you long for and knowing you’ll never have them again. The beautiful ghosts of our past haunt us and yet we still can’t decide if the pain they caused us out weighs the tender moments when they touched our soul. This is the irony of love.”
― Shannon L. Alder |
“There is a woman at the beginning of all great things.”
Alphonse de Lamartine |
“Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us... passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow... Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead.”
Joss Whedon |
The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak. ~Hans Hofmann, Introduction to the Bootstrap, 1993
Eliminate physical clutter. More importantly, eliminate spiritual clutter. ~Terri Guillemets The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life. ~Robert Louis Stevenson |
“There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life -- happiness, freedom, and peace of mind -- are always attained by giving them to someone else.”
― Peyton C. March |

A BAD GIRL AGAIN
A Bad Girl A Great Woman Both stand before you All in One am I And so much more Strength & Power From a depth unknown before If I show it to the world Unkind descriptions will follow So who cares How others see me If I am not true to myself Who does that lead me to be Strong enough to be tender Strong enough to be kind Strong enough to see beyond Blinders from a world That only sees the surface Just skimming the top Never daring to go below That is not me So I am a Bad Girl A wild woman Who dares to think One who gets into the depths Deeper than those before Scared only of not living Scared to not feel All of Life Challenging Intense & Fierce Am I Are you strong enough To survive This Journey with Me With You With US in the Present Past & Future Seek & You Will Find You have always known That we would find Each other In this Lifetime Yes, I am the Dream The one who keeps You Up at Night Soul & Spirit Touched Already You have found me..... Again |

“This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, somg go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And babve, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up becuase if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.” ― Marilyn Monroe |
