You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
I indentify with that, thanks for sharing jujube.
An honest man's pillow is his peace of mind.
Make friends where ever you go.
The world is your oyster.
Family can go beyond bonds of blood.
You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
Never surrender. | |

Posted: 9/10/2007 11:25:32 PM | If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master,
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Posted: 9/10/2007 11:50:16 PM | “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt | |

A Creed to Live By
Don't underestimate your worth
by comparing yourself with
others. It is because we are
different that each of us is special.
Don't set your goals by what other
people deem important.
Only you know what is best for you.
Don't take for granted the things
closest to your heart. Cling to
them as you would your life,
for without them, life is meaningless.
Don't let your life slip through
your fingers by living in the
past or for the future. By living
your life one day at a time, you
will live all the days of your life.
Don't give up when you still have
something to give. Nothing is
really over until the moment
you stop trying.
Don't be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances
that we learn how to be brave.
Don't shut love out of your life by
saying it's impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive
love is to give love; the fastest
way to lose love is to hold to it
too tightly; and the best way to
keep love is to give it wings.
Don't dismiss your dreams; to be
without dreams is to be without hope;
to be without hope
is to be without purpose.
Don't run through life so fast
that you forget not only where
you've been, but also where
you're going.
Life is not a race, but a journey
to be savored each and everyday
step of the way.

Posted: 9/22/2007 9:41:14 PM | this song -- I love it
I Hope You Dance
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone) | |

Posted: 9/23/2007 9:21:51 AM |  Took me quite awhile , yet these words I heard at a very young age have found a place within my soul...these days. They never left my mind... I never quite understood them until now.
"If you love something...set it free.
If it comes back ....
it is yours......
if it doesn't ......
It never was."
