Welcome! Just little tid bits into my thoughts and quirks. Nothing extraordinary.
How Can You Help Tsunami Victims
Here are some of my all time favorite quotes. I actually have quite a few (lol) but these are the ones I have been reflecting on this week. Since I have nothing else to write I figured I would just share.
"Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead."
---Louisa May Alcott
Is this just beautiful or what! I just love this quote, I really do. I am not sure why it has become one of my favorites. When I have “me time” I spread myself on the floor and stare up at the ceiling. If I am not listening to music- I will just repeat this quote over and over in my mind-staring at the blank canvas above. I let my body sink into the carpet and I am reminded of home. I lay in the warm grass surrounded by wild flowers, with just my feet in the moist sand. My eyes are closed and I am full of hope. I feel it move throughout my body, warming me from head to toe. When the wind blows I can feel my desires pass by, tickling my skin like blades of grass. My nose is filled with sweet scents of accomplishment as I inhale the mingled fragrance of goals met and goals placed before me. I arch my back and aim high. I can feel ambition beating down upon me, as strong and heavy as the sun. It is then that I am full of joy. I open my eyes and realize that I am on my carpet giggling and I wonder if any of my neighbors have seen me.
We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake. Let us use it before it is too late. -Marie Beyon Ray
This moment, sparkling like a star…melting like a snowflake. Can you see it! *sigh* it just makes me really appreciate things. When I am reflecting over the words I cannot help but picture a tiny hand holding a prism of light. The hand begins to transform and grow and the prism remains constant in size. As the hand grows larger (adulthood) the now tiny prism becomes so meaningful…so precious. The tiny light begins to flicker. Like the snowflake it melts away, leaving only the memories of its radiance behind. Time…the most precious of possessions.
The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. -- Alvin Toffler
All I can say is…this is so true! LOL.
The hardest challenge is to be yourself in a world where everyone is trying to make you be somebody else. -- E. E. Cummings
Silly Bogart! I think she has been up to some Easter tricks! But I'm glad she provided you a link to my journal, & you, in turn, provided me a link to yours!
Hope you have a wonderful holiday week-end! One of my own is.....
Once you catch the disease called life, you are bound to die. There isn't any cure, and everyone's
symptoms for this disease is different, the only thing you can do to ease the pain is to take one day at a
time, take your prayers at least 3 times a day, and count your blessing for the
day you have survived.
I hope you had a great Easter! Be sure to
post a Easter Message on the post w/ the Easter Subject on it!
