    Inspirational Thought

    Within you is a stillness and a sanctuary
    to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.
     ~ Hermann Hesse~

    For You

    May the Sun bring you new energy by day,
    May the Moon softly restore you by night,
    May the Rain wash away your worries,
    May the Breeze blow new strength into your being
    May You Walk gently through the world and know its beauty all the days of your life.
     
     

    Wow A Thought to Ponder

     
     
    If you lack the courage to start . . . Then you have already finished.
     
     

    LIFE

     

    Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

     

    When the door of happiness closes, another opens, Often times we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one which has opened for us.

     

    The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you’ve ever had.

     

    It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it,

    But it’s also true that we don’t know what we have been missing until it arrives.

     

    Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back! Don’t expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart. But if it doesn’t, be content it grew in yours.  It takes only a minute to have a crush on someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

     

    Don’t go for looks; they can deceive.

    Don’t go for wealth; even that fades away.

    Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make dark days seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

     

    There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!

     

    Dream what you want to dream;

    Go where you want to go;

    Be what you want to be;

     

    Because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

     

    The happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything;

    They just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

     

    Happiness lies for those who cry;

    Those who hurt;

    Those who have searched;

    And those who have tried;

    For only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

     

    Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.

     

    The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past.

    You can not go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

     

    When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.

    Live your life so that when you die, you’re the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

    If Only I'd Changed Myself First

    Last night I came across this piece which I kept and put away awhile ago.
    Even now, In reading it again, despite what was going on at the moment, it made me stop and think about the many things in life and how our day to day routine sometime's doesn't allow us that quietness of reflection or that little bit of happines that we all seek.  In endng .... I had a cool aide smile on my face as I came to appreciate once again, all the beautiful things that are in my life which is all of  YOU. 
     
     I hope you like this as well.
      
    When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world:
    As I grew older and wiser I realized the world would not change.
    And I decided to shorten my sights somewhat and change only my country.  But it too seemed immovable.
    As I entered my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I sought to change only my family, those closest to me, but alas they would have none of it.
    And now here I lie on my deathbed and realize herein (perhaps for the frist time) that if only I'd change myself first, then by example
    I may have influenced my family and with their encouragement and support
    I may have bettered my country, and who knows,
    I may have changed the world.
