I live my life with gusto and passion. Never wanting to hurt anyone, always trying to make a positive difference. Why is it that some people can go through life and get stronger from their personal problems and others buckle from the stress?
One of my favorite quotes:
"Your life is determined not so much by what life brings to you as the attitude you bring to life, not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens. Circumstances and situations do color life, but you have been given the mind to choose what the color shall be.

Your living is at least 90% attitude."
John Homer Miller

Success
To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child;
a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded
Ralph Waldo Emerson


A little ditty Mark's cousin Anni sent me at Christmas:
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery
So celebrate today
That's why it is called the present


A woman's heart is an ocean of secrets
Rose Dawson; movie Titanic


Have you ever read "Life's Little Instruction Books" or "Chicken Soup for the Soul"?? They are great! Here are a couple of quotes from the books:
  • When you hear a kind word spoken about a friend, tell him so.
  • Forgive quickly
  • To fight the blues, try excercising
  • Never forget that it takes only one person or one idea to change your life forever.
  • Write some poetry
  • Never let the odds keep you from pursuing what you know in your heart you were meant to do
  • Never pass up a chance to jump on a trampoline
One more thought:
If you are lucky enough to find true love, experience all the happiness it brings, hold on to it...nuture it...work at it....give...and give more...never let it go...make it work...strive to keep it alive!
