THE LONGER WE DWELL ON OUR MISFORTUNES, THE GREATER IS THEIR POWER TO HARM US.
Voltaire |
The message is to choose life in this moment, not to try and live forever. Someday, when you're tired and sore and want to leave your body, your death will be a healing--not a failure. You will have been an example of how to deal with adversity and leave a legacy of love.
Bernie S. Siegel Anyone who doesn't believe in miracles is not a realist. David Ben-Gurion But in the mud and scum of things ``There alway, alway something sings. Ralph Waldo Emerson " There is something beautiful about all scars of whatever nature. A scar means the hurt is over, the wound is closed and healed, done with." Harry Crews The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitude. William James I have learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances. Martha Washington I don't want anyone to believe that I am a Pollyanna, always chirping about goodness and light. But neither do I want to be a victim, of other people or of circumstance. I rarely manage to be as positive as I wish that I could be. I do aspire to overcome ill health, bad moods, and anger. I am often far from successful. But quotes like these have always inspired me and given me the urge to try to create life the way I would like for it to be. To respond versus react. To deal with whatever comes into my life the best that I can. Y'all keep the quotes coming. Leslie |
THE BEST REMEDY FOR THOSE WHO ARE AFRAID, LONELY OR UNHAPPY IS TO GO OUTSIDE, SOMEWHERE WHERE THEY CAN BE QUIET, ALONE WITH THE HEAVENS, NATURE AND GOD. BECAUSE ONLY THEN DOES ONE FEEL THAT ALL IS AS IT SHOULD BE.

Beautiful!
Wow - I just found this thread - how lovely! Thanks for sharing sisters. My contribution for today:
"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."

my new fave
from, yes, hot soccer boy David Beckham via Kris Carr's Crazy, Sexy Cancer Tips:
"Impossible is a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is an opinion not a fact. Impossible isn't a declaration it's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing." |

I had to look this one up..

"This I Believe: That The Free, Exploring Mind Of The Individual Human Is The Most Valuable Thing In The World. And this I Would Fight For: The Freedom Of The Mind To Take Any Direction It Wishes, Undirected. And This I Must Fight Against: Any Idea, Religion, Or Government Which Limits Or Destroys The Individual." By John Steinback Believe51 |

Its fine with me Suzanne if you want to use the quote I posted from Soraya. I got it from her website - and Im not sure if its OK to post here links to other websites? Can someone let me know if its OK?
Anyway her website is: http://www.soraya.com/index.php I'm sure you'll love her story and beautiful music. On her website it says: Soraya: A life of music. A legacy of hope. Read the story of a woman who gave so many courage in the midst of her own life-and-death struggle with breast cancer.And I got this quote from Leslie! :-)) I don't want anyone to believe that I am a Pollyanna, always chirping about goodness and light. But neither do I want to be a victim, of other people or of circumstance. I rarely manage to be as positive as I wish that I could be. I do aspire to overcome ill health, bad moods, and anger. I am often far from successful. But quotes like these have always inspired me and given me the urge to try to create life the way I would like for it to be. To respond versus react. To deal with whatever comes into my life the best that I can.and I just want to say Leslie I love your courage - what you say makes a lot of sense to me. I don't want to be a victim either in life - blaming others for my problems - don't know that I'm there yet though... getting there... oops getting off topic... I do love this thread - thanks so much friends. Blessings Hermiracles<!-- / message --><!-- sig --> |
MANY PEOPLE WILL WALK IN AND OUT OF YOUR LIFE,
BUT ONLY TRUE FRIENDS WILL LEAVE FOOTPRINTS IN YOUR HEART. Eleanor Roosevelt |
Dear God, As I rise up, I thank You for the opportunity to be on this earth. I thank You for my mind and body. I thank You for my life. Please bless my body and use it for Your purposes. May I rise up strong today, and may my body and soul radiate Your love. May all impurities be cast out of my mind, my heart, my body. May every cell of my being be filled with Your light. May my body and mind both be illumined for Your sake and for the sake of all the world.

Hermi, Thank you so much. I don't know that I've ever been quoted before. I have had a busy month or so and haven't been here much. This year around the Holidays I did too much and ended up tired and sick. Just a cold but it is taking its sweet time to leave. I have been in a bad mood, trying to deal with anger. It is just part of being, I guess.

The New Motto for 2008!! Start it early!!! http://e1.f529.mail.yahoo.com/ya/dow...&head=b&Idx=21 A POEM ABOUT OUR GIRLFRIENDS Someone will always be prettier. Someone will always be smarter. Some of their houses will be bigger. Some will drive a better car. Their children will do better in school. And their husband will fix more things around the house. So let it go, and love you and your circumstances. Think about it! The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart. And the most highly favored woman on your job may be unable to have children. And the richest woman you know, she's got the car, the house, the clothes~~~~ might be lonely. And the word says, "If I have not Love, I am nothing." So, again, love you. Love who you are. Look in the mirror in the morning and smile and say, "I a m too Blessed to be Stressed and too Anointed, to be Disappointed!" "Winners make things happen~~ Losers let things happen." Be "Blessed" Ladies~~~~~ and pass this on to encourage another woman. "To the world you might be one person, but to the one person you just sent this to, it could mean so much." SEND THIS TO YOUR FAVORITE WOMEN ~~ I JUST D I D! Fight For A Cure! - |
I just found this thread and love it! You have all added such great thoughts. I like this one, too:
At 111 degrees water is just quite warm. Add just one degree more, and it becomes steam. Steam can accomplish amazing things. Imagine how much more we could also accomplish if we would put forward just one degree more effort! |

I have an Oncologist friend who is now my Mother's doctor. We went to her visit today and I seen a giant sign in his office. I loved it because when I read it I was moved by the impact of the simplicity of the message. When asked by a patient how can he do this for a living, it must be sad. His reply she sent back on a 6' x 6'' foam board and very professional too.

My husband likes to note Macbeth:
"Why should I play the part of a roman fool, and die by my own sword, when I see lives; the gashes do better upon them." He say that is Macbeth's last wisdom. |
One of my favorites, and I've noticed it's marked in Nikki's book, so it's really from her. "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he had imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." Thoreau
