Stumble Upon

"Keep on going, and the chances are that you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it.  I never heard of anyone ever stumbling on something sitting down." - Charles F. Kettering

Gather Your Gifts

"Sometimes it rains on sunny days.  The sparkling sun-christened drops create a charming sight.  With out-stretched arms and open hands, supplicate the skies and gather your gifts.  Welcome each drop that falls from the heavens.  The sun showers justice and mercy, gain and loss.  Be grateful.  Be patient.  Wait for the next good thing to come, knowing that it will, knowing that the bad will pass - knowing that there is no darkness, only the absence of light."  -Noelle Carmelier, From the book If Tree's Could Talk by Carol Doemel.

Gratitude

"What is life?  It is the flash of a firefly in the night.  It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime.  It is in the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself at sunset." - Crowfoot Blackfeet

For me, life is a precious gift.  Gratitude for this life I have been given is my saving grace.  I need nothing other than this.

Old Friend

"But then fall comes, kicking summer out on it's treacherous ass as it always does one day sometime after the midpoint of September, it stays awhile like an old friend that you have missed.  It settles in the way an old friend would settle into your favorite chair and takes out it's pipe and lights it and then fills the afternoon with stories of places he has been and things he has done since he last saw you." -Stephen King, 'Salem's Lot

New Day

"Tomorrow is a new day.  You shall begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

You're always only a moment away from the living the life you want to live.  And there's nothing like a good nights sleep to help refresh your spirit.  Jai MAA!  

Courage

"It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are" - E.E. Cummings

Have the courage to be your authentic self.  Love yourself fully, unconditionally.

Desire

"I arrise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day." - E.B. White
