    You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses.
    ZIGGY

    I don't know if I've heard that before but I really like it. I am trying to always look for the silver lining!

    "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention to arrive in a pretty well-preserved body. Rather you should skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and proclaiming loudly, "Wow, what a ride!"

    Can I borrow that one?

    Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak...sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go.

    All the years you have waited for them to "make it up to you" and all the energy you expended trying to make them change (or make them pay) kept the old wounds from healing and gave pain from the past free rein to shape and even damage your life. And still they may not have changed. Nothing you have done has made them change. Indeed, they may never change. Inner peace is found by changing yourself, not the people who hurt you. And you change yourself for yourself, for the joy, serenity, peace of mind, understanding, compassion, laughter, and bright future that you get."

    Lewis B. Smedes - The Art of Forgiving: When You Need To Forgive And Don't Know How

    When we live out of our memory, we are tied to the past and to that which is finite. When we live out of our imagination, we are tied to what is infinite.

    The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.

    If you DREAM it, you can DO it.
    ~Walt Disney

    Don’t let the reasons you are the way you are become excuses to stay that way.
    ~Joyce Meyer Wishing

    You can’t break a bad habit by throwing it out the window. You’ve got to walk it slowly down the stairs.
    ~Mark Twain

    Come to the edge. We can’t. We’re afraid. Come to the edge. We can’t. We will fall! Come to the edge. And they came. And he pushed them. And they flew.
    ~Guillaume Apollinaire

    Promise Yourself
    To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind
    To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet
    To make all your friends feel they are unique and special
    To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true
    To think only the best, to work only for the best, and expect only the best
    To be just as enthusiastic about others success as you are about your own
    To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future
    To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile
    To give so much time for the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others
    To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble
    ~Unknown

    I believe that we are who we choose to be. Nobody is going to come and save you. You’ve got to save yourself. Nobody is going to give you anything. You’ve got to go out and fight for it. Nobody knows what you want except you, and nobody will be as sorry as you if you don’t get it. So don’t give up your dreams!
    ~Barry Manilow

    Age is a quality of mind.
    If you've left your dreams behind,
    If Hope is cold,
    If you no longer look ahead,
    If your ambition's fires are dead.
    Then you are old.

    But if from Life you take the best,
    In Life you keep the zest,
    If Love you hold,
    No matter how the years go by,
    No matter how the birthdays fly,
    You are not old.
