When I'm in a funk...

When things are not quite right, or something is amiss in my life,  this is the book I turn to. It gets me back on "track" so to speak.  Two of My favourite quotes...

"You will never be able to escape from your heart so it's better to listen to what it has to say"

"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.   And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of it's dreams because every second of the search is a seconds' encounter with God and with eternity"

How kool is that? And... case in point. Mr Coelho is one of the bestselling authors on this planet,  and he didnt write his first book until the age of forty. Hmmmmm

Everyone should read this book at some point in time.

Oh Hemm...

 I'm going through a Hemingway phase just now.  Not sure why, as I've read him before.   Regardless, I am loving life right now, having the time to read.  I'm such a lucky girl..

Good Evening, from Small Wonders.

Appropriate words...

Time to leave now,  get out of this room,  go somewhere, anywhere;  sharpen this feeling of happiness and freedom,  stretch your limbs,  fill your eyes,  be awake,  wider awake,  vividly awake in every sense and every pore.

Stefan Zweig

Good day... from Small Wonders

A Woman to Emulate

I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.

Well Said Edna

"I am glad that I paid so little attention to good advice; had I abided by it I might have been saved from some of my most valuable mistakes." 

— Edna St. Vincent Millay

This is my newest find.  What a fascinating woman, and one of the few who write poetry I like and can read!

A Gentle Reminder

Time to leave now, get out of this room, go somewhere, anywhere; sharpen this feeling of happiness and freedom, stretch your limbs, fill your eyes, be awake, wider awake, vividly awake in every sense and every pore.

Good Day from Small Wonders

Fighting the good fight...

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears
Get over your hill, and see what you find there,
With Grace in your heart, and flowers in your hair

Happy birthday Good Sir

I am going through a "Hemingway" phase....

I believe that love that is true and real creates a respit from death.  All cowardice comes from not loving, or not loving well, which is the same thing.  And when the man who is brave and true, looks death squarely in the face, as did some rhino hunter that I know, or Belmonte, who is truly love.  It is because they love with sufficient passion to push death out of their minds until it returns, as it does, to all men, and then he must make really good love again~ Think About it.

Good Afternoon, from Small Wonders

Blessed Fall

Delicious Autumn.  My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird, I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.

George Eliot 1841

We're all a little weird, And life is weird.  And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually, satisfying weirdness~ and call it love~ true love.

Robert Fulghum
