I saw a special on a domestic violence organization. This woman is a survivor of horrendous abuse. I loved this quote. It is a testament to the human spirit.

When something bad happens, I believe we have three choices. You can let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can make it the choice to rise above and let it strengthen you.
How powerful that is.Kathy

"She once believed that the damage to her mind and heart was permanent, until she met wisdom, who taught her that no pain or wound is eternal, that all can be healed and that love can grow even in the toughest parts of her being." ~ Yung Pueblo
I know myself now, I feel within me a peace above all earthly dignities, a still and quiet conscience. ~ William Shakespeare
When the energy you long for seems out of your grasp, fall back into the heartbeat of love unconditional.
When I trust deeply that today God is truly with me and holds me safe in a divine embrace, guiding every one of my steps I can let go of my anxious need to know how tomorrow will look, or what will happen next month or next year. I can be fully where I am and pay attention to the many signs of Gods love within me and around me. ~ Henri Nouwen
When our wounds cease to be a source of shame, and become a source of healing, we become wounded healers. ~ Henri NouwenDiagnosed 1984

For a star to be born, there is one thing that must happen: A gaseous nebula must collapse. So collapse. Crumble, this is not your destruction. This is your birth. ~ Unknown
Some people awaken spiritually without ever coming into contact without any meditation technique or spiritual teaching. They may awaken simply because they can’t stand the suffering anymore. ~ Eckhart TolleDiagnosed 1984

When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick: every time a stick is thrown you run after it. Instead, be like a lion who, rather than chasing the stick, turn to face the thrower. One only throws a stick at a lion once. ~ MilarepaDiagnosed 1984

My favourite quote is from a John Lennon song:
"Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans"
Good description of my life with MS!

"Life is full of ups and downs, and our emotions are our signposts. We mustn’t hide them away, therefore, especially if we would like to understand such difficult emotions as anger or jealousy, and work with ourselves to experience these negative states less often. We need to make friends with all our emotions, both positive and negative, so we can begin to see where they come from or how they are triggered."

One Joy can scatter a thousand sorrows. ~ Chinese Proverb
You will be okay. Not like a bright shiny penny, but one burnished by experience. The tears now blurring your vision will wash your eyes clean. You will see things with new clarity, and your sense of worth will be greater than you could have ever imagined. ~ Margaret B Moss
Dismiss the pull of drama.
Make time for simple Blessings.
