Teach love, generosity, good manners and some of that will drift from the classroom to the home and who knows, the children will be educating the parents.
~Roger Moore |
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
Melody Beattie |

The Road Not Taken TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh And that has made all the difference.Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, ~ Robert Frost (1874-1963) |

"The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together." ~Erma Bombeck |
"Those pointing the finger and accusing already have three fingers pointing back at themselves" - Anonymous |
“Our lives are to be used and thus to be lived as fully as possible, and truly it seems that we are never so alive as when we concern ourselves with other people.” ~ Harry Chapin

Some say that when beauty fades, love goes. Isn't it the other way around? Beauty fades only when love is gone.
-Marjorie Holmes |
"Right-wing propagandists like Limbaugh and Coulter are essentially entertainers, entertainers who stimulate prejudice, selfishness and meanness the way a comedian works for laughs or a tragedian plays for tears. Theirs is a new art form, exclusive to America and bewilderingly successful. In place of traditional conservative ideology, they offer their audience partisan belligerence and a complete package of mail-order hatreds, designed for the conceptually and ethically impaired." |

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." |

alright now
I am unique.
There has never been another person like me since time began, so there is nothing and no one to compare or compete with.... ...This immeasurable part of me is where my power is. Comparing myself with others makes me feel either superior or inferior, never acceptable exactly as I am. What a waste of time and energy! We are all unique, wonderful beings, each different and special. I go within and connect with the unique expression of eternal Oneness that I am and we all are. Everything in the physical world changes. As I flow with these changes, I keep relating to that inside me, which is deeper than any change. I am incomparable. ~ Louise Hay |
I was saying it out loud in my head.

Self-respect cannot be hunted. It cannot be purchased. It is never for sale. It cannot be fabricated out of public relations. It comes to us when we are alone, in quiet moments, in quiet places, when e suddenly realize that, knowing the good, we have done it; knowing the beautiful, we have served it; knowing the truth we have spoken it.
~Whitney Griswold~ |

But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

"A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy." - George Jean Nathan

If you get down and you quarrel everyday, You're saying prayers to the devils, I say. Why not help one another on the way? Make it much easier. Just a little bit easier. Say you just can't live that negative way, If you know what I mean; Make way for the positive day........... Bob Marley ~ Rastaman Vibration http://i.pbase.com/o6/75/18175/1/799...ringWebCbb.jpg |
