"There are only two questions that human beings have ever fought over, all through history. 'How much do you love me?' And, 'Who's in charge?' Everything else is somehow manageable. But these two questions of love and control undo us all, trip us up and cause war, grief, and suffering.'" ~ Eat, Pray, Love

"The only way to be perfect, " says Darren Aronofsky, "is to allow chaos and madness into your life." ~ Black Swan

Elbert Hubbard ~“The man who doesn't relax and hoot a few hoots voluntarily, now and then, is in great danger of hooting hoots and standing on his head for the edification of the pathologist and trained nurse, a little later on.”

"Christmas… that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance -- a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved." ~ Augusta Rundel

"Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.” ~ Calvin Coolidge

May you and your families have a blessed Christmas and remember to be present and enjoy one another. Thank you for an amazing year. You all have made my life brighter and I am grateful for you.

As we sail through life, don't avoid rough waters, sail on because calm waters won't make a skillful sailor.

"At some point, you gotta let go, and sit still, and allow contentment to come to you." ~ Eilzabeth Gilbert

Charles R. Swindoll ~ "The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes"

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. ~ William A. Ward

Whenever you feel grateful, put it into words. It's amazing how a small expression of gratitude can brighten someone's day and remind them there's a lot they're doing right.

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words.

Keep your words positive because your words become your behaviors.

Keep your behaviors positive because your behaviors become your habits.

Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values.

Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny. ~ Gandhi

I am younger each year at the first snow. I see it, suddenly, in the air, all little and white and moving; then I am in love again and very young and I believe everything. ~ Anne Sexton - 1958

"Cornell researchers examined the eating habits of diners at a Chinese buffet and found that the fattest patrons tended to sit facing the serving area, while the skinniest sat with their backs to the food. Just seeing that you can get seconds may encourage you to eat more, so sit strategically during mealtime. Same goes for when you’re mixing and mingling at a party—talk facing away from the tables of food." ~ Fitbie

Goodness is the only investment that never fails. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Don't miss all the beautiful colors of the rainbow looking for the pot of gold. ~ unknown

I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it's both. Maybe both is happening at the same time. I miss you, Jenny. If there's anything you need, I won't be far away. ~ Forrest Gump 1994

Life is like dancing. If we have a big floor, many people will dance. Some will get angry when the rhythm changes. But life is changing all the time. ~ Don Miguel Ruiz

Life is not complex.

We are complex.

Life is simple, and the simple thing is the right thing. ~ Oscar Wilde
