Mountains

"I've learned that everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it."  Unknown

Missing my hubby

"Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, Only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence."  -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Risk

"People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love."  Chuck Palahniuk

"I felt despair.  Though it seems to me now there's two kinds of it:  the sort that causes a person to surrender and then the sort I had which made me take risks and make plans."  Erica Eisdorfer

 

"Let Go"

Sometimes you've got to let everything go--purge yourself.  If you are unhappy with anything...whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it.  Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self comes out."  Tina Turner

"Insomnia"

If a man had as many ideas during the day as he does when he has insomnia, he'd make a fortune.  Griff Niblack

"New You"

"Make room for the new you. You may not have totally determined who the new you is going to be, but you probably have decided that there are some things about the current you, that you want to change. Well, while you are working on what the new you will be, start 'cleaning out a room' for the new you to live in. Get rid of the junk in your life both physical and mental that doesn't fit you anymore. Take things out of your schedule that are taking your time away from finding out what you want to do. By making room for the new you, you will create a vacuum that the new you will rush in to fill and you will be on your way to the top."
Edward W. Smith

"Puppies"

There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face.

Bern Williams

Happiness is a warm puppy.  Charles M. Schulz

I talk to him when I'm lonesome like; and I'm sure he understands.  When he looks at me so attentively, and gently licks my hands; then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes, but I never say naught thereat.  For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes, but never a friend like that.  W. Dayton Wedgefarth

"Naps"

Naps are nature's way of reminding you that life is nice - like a beautiful, softly swinging hammock strung between birth and infinity. Peggy Noonan
