BEAUTIFULLY said.

The best thing I have heard in my life.  You were so wise. <3

Critics who treat ‘adult’ as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

C.S. Lewis

I found this quoted by a friend and was shocked at how simply profound it was.  Wow, some things just can’t be said any better.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

Mother Teresa

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.

Audrey Hepburn

You can’t undo anything you’ve already done, but you can face up to it. You can tell the truth. You can seek forgiveness. And then let God do the rest.

I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it’s the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It’s probably the most important thing in a person.

Life is full of things that make you go “oops”, but that’s all the beauty of being human.

I don’t want to settle for less. Instead I want to be exhausted from living and not tired from not truly living. You live so long in nuetral that you yawn without even realizing it.

The abyss of my own thoughts…

There is a story about the greek gods. They were bored, so they invented human beings, but they were still bored, so they invented love. Then they weren’t bored any longer, so they decided to try love for themselves. And finally they invented laughter, so they could stand it.

Commending the victims to almighty God’s mercy, I implore his strength upon all involved in rescue efforts and in caring for the survivors.

Pope John Paul II, September 11, 2001

On this day 10 years ago I was on my way to see my dentist.  I remember being terrified as I sat in the chair, listening to the reports on the news on the radio of this event.  I will never ever forget the shock of that feeling, but it will never match the sheer terror and suffering of the victims or their loved ones.  

Where were you on this day?  What were you doing?

I don’t believe I’ve ever spoken to anyone who does not remember in vivid detail what plans and business were interrupted with this sad news.  

Thousands of people were on their way to destinations where they never though travel would be unsafe.  Thousands of people were working.    Take a moment to remember and pray for those who still desperately need our prayers.  Those loved ones who were left behind, as eternity took in the souls of the departed.

Worthy

“Along with things deserved, what are you worthy of? You are worthy of someone who will love you whole-heartedly. You are worthy of someone who will not make you cry. You are worthy of someone who will not make you doubt yourself, but will make you understand how they appreciate you as you are. You are worthy of ‘allowing’ yourself to love the way you want to, whether that means sending you Hallmark cards and care packages or changing their oil and cleaning out their fridge. You are worthy of someone who will allow you into their life, not keep painful or dangerous secrets, or keep you as a secret. You are worthy of someone who is emotionally available to you, all the time but especially when you’re needing a little extra. You are worthy of someone who doesn’t expect you to change to suit them. You are worthy of celebrating your successes and not having to dwell on or relive your disappointments. You are definitely worthy of someone who wants to be with you, and will do what it takes to have your love, and won’t give up on you when the going gets tough.” -Unknown

There is a reason I said I’d be happy alone. It wasnt because I thought I would be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone and then it fell apart, I might not make it. It’s easier to be alone. Because what if you learn that you need love? And then you don’t have it. What if you like it? And lean on it? What if you shape your life around it? And then it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It’s like dying. The only difference is, death ends. This? It could go on forever …
