Walls...

"Sometimes you have to put walls around you, not to keep people out but to see who cares enough to break them down just to be with you.."

To those whom I love and to those who love me...

When I am gone,
Release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do
You musn't cry for me with tears.
Be happy that we had so many years.

I gave you my love.
You can only guess,
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown.
But now, it's time I travel alone.

So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must.
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It is only for awhile that we must part.
So bless the memories within your heart.

I won't be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near.
And If you'll listen with your heart, you'll hear,
All my love around you soft and clear.

And if you come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile,
And welcome home..

Horoscope

It's one of those days when you are best off doing very little -- maybe nothing -- and just letting life go on while you watch.

You can sense something big is coming, but you've got to wait for tomorrow.

Hmmm... What's with tomorrow? :)

Loving..

You may not be her first, her last, or her only.
She loved before, she may love again.
But if she loves you now, what else matters?

She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can.

She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart.

So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give.

Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.

Bob Marley

Relativity

"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour.

Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute..
THAT'S relativity."

Albert Einstein

LSS

For awhile, to love was all we could do
We were young and we knew and our eyes were alive
Deep inside we knew our love was true
For awhile, we paid no mind to the past
We knew love would last
Every night something right
Would invite us to begin the dance

Something happened along the way
What used to be happy was sad
Something happened along the way
And yesterday was all we had
And oh after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around
Oh oh oh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found....

Earth, Wind and Fire

by George Carlin

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's

Predictions Today

My Horoscope:

You need to slow down a little bit -- things are starting to heat up, and you don't want to get caught up in this drama. If you can duck out for a few hours, or even all day, that would be for best.

perfect! how appropriate...

Thoughts

"Desire is a bottomless pit, and greed knows no boundaries.
The desire to seek brings about the thought of must have.
When there is seeking, there is a mind for gaining.
Then, there will be the suffering of loss."

from a Budhist temple...

You learn that...

"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.

So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't.
And believe that everything happens for a reason.

Know a good thing when you see it and don't let it slip away.
If you get a chance, take it.
If it changes your life, let it.

Nobody said it would be easy.
They just said it would be worth it."

Nature

"Only after the last tree has been cut down..
Only after the last river has been poisoned..
Only after the last fish has been caught..

Only then, will you find that money cannot be eaten"

Just Do It

"we don't get unlimited choices to have the things we want...

nothing is worst than missing an opportunity that could have changed your life"

Reminder to Self

Don't sweat the small stuff.

Thoughts of a Genius

Don't fear difficult moments.

The best comes from them.

Rita Levi Montalcini. Nobel Prize Winner

A Repost

"Love is passion.. obsession.. someone you can’t live without.

I say fall head over heels. Find someone you can love like crazy and who’ll love you the same way back.

And how do you find him?

Forget your head and listen to your heart…
Because the truth is, there is no sense living your life without this.
To make the journey and not fall deeply in love – well, you haven’t lived a life at all.
But you have to try.. Because if you haven’t tried, you haven’t lived…

Stay open. Who knows? Lightning could strike."

How can anyone settle for less?... On being idealistic.

"I'm done..."

Until you wake up one morning finding yourself... right back in the moment you've been walking away from your whole life.

"Looking for Safety?"

"Security is when everything is settled, when nothing can happen to you; security is the denial of life."
-- Germaine Greer

"There are no guarantees. From the viewpoint of fear, none are strong enough. From the viewpoint of love, none are necessary."
-- Emmanuel

"One thing we can do is make the choice to view the world in a healthy way. We can choose to see the world as safe with only moments of danger rather than seeing the world as dangerous with only moments of safety."
-- Deepak Chopra

Happiness

When I was a kid, I knew the secret to a happy life.

Play by the rules, work hard in school.

And if you work hard in school, then your reward is.. more school.
And after more school, then you're given the best that life has to offer..

A job, money and a future... filled with an unending singular pursuit of More.

Another Chance to Start Over

Now is your moment.

It is now, and now is different.  Even though you may have experienced an overwhelming amount of disappointment in the past, the past is over.
Perhaps you've failed again and again.  Now is different.

That was then and this is now.  

Now you have the opportunity to move forward.
Now you can follow through on the things you've been unable or unwilling to do in the past.
Now is your moment to live.  Now is the time to act.
Now is when you can truly make a difference.

Stand up, step forward and live.

Sense of Self

Sometimes, you just have to try not to care
no matter how much you do..

because sometimes, you can mean nothing to someone
who means everything to you.

It's not Pride.
It's called Self-Respect
