You cannot see what I see because you see what you see.  You cannot know what I know because you know what you know.  What I see and what I know cannot be added to what you see and what you know because they are not of the same kind.  Neither can it replace what you see and what you know, because that would be to replace yourself. ~ Douglas Adams

It was once said that it is better to have loved and lost than have never loved at all.  This is not entirely true.  It is neither better nor worse.  Both hurt and both are, in their own separate ways, unbearable. ~ Cristoph Lamarte

You do not set the standard.  You have not walked in my footsteps, danced in my shoes, or lived in my world.  Do not judge me, point your fingers at me, or become experts on my life.  Instead celebrate with me in times of joy and cry with me in times of pain.  Only then will we begin to understand each other. ~ Kate Baker

How to Stay Young

Throw out nonessential numbers.  This includes age, weight, and height.  Let the doctor worry about them.  That is why you pay him/her.

Keep only cheerful friends.  The grouches pull you down.

Keep learning.  Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever.  Never let the brain idle.  "An idle mind is the devil's workshop."  And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

Enjoy the simple things.

Laugh often, long, and loud.  Laugh until you gasp for breath.

The tears happen.  Endure, grieve, and move on.  The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves.  Be ALIVE while you are alive.

Surround yourself with what you love, whether its family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.  Your home is your refuge.

Cherish your health.  If it is good, preserve it.  If it is unstable, improve it.  If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

Don't take guilt trips.  Take a trip to the mall, to the next county, to a foreign country, not NOT to where the guilt is.

Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

And always remember: life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

~ George Carlin

October 03, 2011

Do not build walls for they are dangerous.  Learn to transcend them.

Live in the moment, for each one is precious and not to be squandered.

Take care of yourself, first and foremost.

Drop the ego.  Be real.  And watch what happens.

All things are possible, all of the time.

Maintain Universal Flow.  When someone gives, it is an act of generosity to receive.  For in the giving, there is something gained.

~ Joan Bradly (from "God on a Harley")

No matter how hard the past, one can always begin again today. ~ Buddha

Nothing Gold Can Stay

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf
So Eden sank to grief.
So dawn goes down today.
Nothing gold can stay.

~ Robert Frost
