    Just thought it was time to resurrect this thread

    Tired of the negative words – she laid them down. Being finished with the weighted boots, she burned them. Touching a feather to her tears, she slipped on her wings, turned to her sky – and flew. ~ Terri St. Cloud

    A negative mind will never give
    you a positive life. ~ Unknown

    When your life suddenly changes forever, the only option is to live in the moment and value each step. ~ Unknown

    You cannot make people happy in your way,
    You must let them be happy or unhappy in their own way. ~ Unknown

    You have every right to stop…to sit down…to watch the beauties around you…to walk slow and feel the sun kiss your forehead, to feel the wind breathe on you…you have every right…to be… to do what you need to do that brings an ease to your heart. Take your time with you today. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Not today. Not anymore. ~ S.C. Lourie

    When you live in complete acceptance of what is, that is the end of all drama in your life.
    ~ Eckert Tolle

    The most adventurous journey to embark on;
    is the journey to yourself, the most exciting thing
    to discover; is who you really are, the most treasured
    pieces that you can find; are all the pieces of you, the
    most special portrait you can recognize; is the portrait
    of your soul. ~ C. JoyBell C

    To find yourself in awe over the stars and moon
    during the night. To feel grateful after a walk in
    natures beauty. To be filled with joy by a bird’s
    beautiful song; is to be rooted firmly in the
    simple life, able to embrace the gifts that
    are there for each of us.

        Since it's almost Easter and since Saint John Paul II was sick for so long and yet lived with such dignity, I'm choosing his words today.

        "Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song."

          Thanks Snoopy for bringing back. Very topical quotes!

          Walking today, I just let my iPod skip all over. So quite an ecclectic mix. One that came up, a not so deep song - a few lines:

          In every life we have some trouble
          But when you worry you make it double. Don't worry, be happy.

            When things were hard
            and when it hurt,
            she closed her eyes -
            searching for the light inside.
            Slowly, it brightened enough
            for her to see it.
            Quietly, she felt it -
            touched it -
            held it,
            and steadily it warmed her
            and softened her once again.
            ~ Terri St. Cloud

            It is in the quiet times that we build our strengths and know we have something to rely on. Solitude is not withdrawal into a place where no one and no sound can penetrate. It is a sweet moment of peace with or without other people that lets us re-center and reset the rhythm of the mind, body and spirit. It is wisdom to stay close to the solitude of nature to keep us young and pliable. ~ Joyce Sequichie Hifler

            Time is sacred. Hug a little tighter. Tell someone you love them. Life is short and the blinks in time matter. Wishing you peace among the chaos, clarity in the confusion and perspective beyond the small annoyances. Most of all I wish the grace of love to lessen your pain, sustain you in hardship and wrap around you when you need it the most. Bodies get tired. Eventually they wither and die, but love, the sweet essence of love, remains. ~ Jody Doty

            Sometimes life can be a royal pain. That's when you have to say the heck with it, tip your crown of humility to the lessons learned and find the hidden magic in the day like the queen of resilience that you are. ~ Jody Doty

            So, I close my eyes to old ends and open my heart to new beginnings. ~ unknown

                    “Humans live on one-quarter of what they eat; on the other three-quarters lives their doctor.”

                    The author is unknown but it appears to be an idea first presented a couple thousand years ago in hieroglyphic texts, some say.

                        It's Your Attitude Dude

                        90% of what you worry about never happens and you can't do anything about the other 10%

                        There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither works

                            The opposite of belonging ... is fitting in... Fitting in is assessing and acclimating... Belonging is belonging to yourself first. Speaking your truth, telling your story, and never betraying yourself for other people. True belonging doesn't require you to change who you are. It requires you to be who you are.

                                This isn't actually a quote, but a poem.

                                All Will Be Well

                                Think of---

                                Stepping on shore, and finding it Heaven!

                                of taking hold of a hand, and finding it God’s hand,

                                of breathing new air, and finding it celestial air,

                                of feeling invigorated, and finding it immortality,

                                of passing from storm and tempest to an unbroken calm,

                                of waking up, and finding it Home.
