                                “My whole life I’ve been telling myself, ‘don’t be afraid’. And it is only now that I’m realizing how stupid that is. Don’t be afraid. Like saying, ‘don’t move out of the way when someone tries to punch you’ or ‘don’t flinch at the heat of fire’ or ‘don’t blink’. Don’t be human. I’m afraid and you’re afraid and we’re all always going to be afraid, because that’s the point. What I should be telling myself is ‘be afraid, but do it anyway’. Live anyway.” ~ Unknown

                                  "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: It goes on." ~ Robert Frost

                                      The World Ain't all Sunshine and Rainbows...

                                        “This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one… the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.” ~ George Bernard Shaw

                                        She is Gone!

                                          You can shed tears that she is gone,

                                          or you can smile because she has lived.

                                          You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back,

                                          or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left.

                                          Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her,

                                          or you can be full of the love you shared.

                                          You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,

                                          or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

                                          You can remember her only that she is gone,

                                          or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.

                                          You can cry and close your mind,

                                          be empty and turn your back.

                                          Or you can do what she’d want:

                                          smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
