I have learned that only two things are necessary to keep one's wife happy. First, let her think she's having her way. And second, let her have it.
Lyndon B. Johnson

It's amazing, isn't it, how some people see the basket half
empty and others see it half full. Some see life hopeless,
others hopeful. Even when things are less than perfect,
if you can think of the good, the beautiful, the hopeful,
you'll be more than sustained--you'll conquer.

“I wake up every day with the realization that this is it, that there's only one shot at this life and I can either enjoy the ride and live it to its fullest and to my highest potential or I can stay the way I am.”- Unknown

Despite the high cost of living it remains a popular item.

Spirit Dancer · 01-04-2011, 01:43 PM

As a doctor, I studied survivors--people who got sick but exceeded expectations. Many of those exceptional patients had been given little time to live, yet they were some of the happiest people I'd ever met. They knew, or they discovered through their illness, which became their teacher, that if you want to be happy, you must answer some key questions. What are you here for? And how do you want to spend your limited time? If your answer is that you are here to love, to serve others and not to be served, then you already have everything you need to be happy. If you wake up in the morning, that's enough; you are grateful for life and the opportunity to contribute in your way.

Bernie Siegel

“Integrity is telling myself the truth. And honesty is telling the truth to other people.” -- Spencer Johnson

Kätzchen · 01-05-2011, 01:12 AM

"For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide,"

&

"You build on failure.
You use it as a stepping stone.
Close the door on the past.
You don't try to forget the mistakes,
but you don't dwell on it either.
You don't let it have any of your energy,
or any of your time,
or any of your space."

Tommi · 01-05-2011, 04:41 AM

Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time.
- Jean Paul Richter

Spirit Dancer · 01-05-2011, 09:26 AM

What we are talking about is learning to live in the present
moment, in the now. When you aren't distracted by your own
negative thinking, when you don't allow yourself to get lost in
moments that are gone or yet to come, you are left with this
moment. This moment-- now--truly is the only moment you have.
It is beautiful and special. Life is simply a series of such
moments to be experienced one right after another. If you attend
to the moment you are in and stay connected to your soul and
remain happy, you will find that your heart
is filled with positive feelings.

Sydney Banks

You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip
by; but some of them are golden only because we let them slip by.
