Life 46....

Let's be honest. Sometimes there is nothing harder in life than being happy for somebody else. -Sex & The City

It happens as you grow up; you find out who you are, and what you want, and then you find out that people you've known forever don't see things the way you do. And so you keep the wonderful memories,
but find yourself moving on.

Behind every achievement is someone who dared to try.

The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want. - Ben Stein

Anything is possible if you've got enough nerve.

If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise. - Robert Fritz

That was the thing: Once, the difference between light and dark had been basic. One was good, one bad. Suddenly though, things weren't so clear. The dark was still a mystery, something hidden, something to be scared of, but I'd come to fear the light, too. It was where everything was revealed, or seemed to be. Eyes closed, I saw only the blackness, reminding me ofthis one thing, the most deep of my secrets; eyes open, there was only the world that didn't know it, bright, inescapable, and somehow, still there. -Sarah Dessen, Just Listen

Beware of no man more than of yourself; we carry our worst enemies within us. -Charles Spurgeon

Hope is a state of mind, not of the world.  Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading toward success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good. - Vaclav Havel

Drink life as it comes.
Straight.
No chaser.

It's not so much that we're afraid of change or so in love with the old ways, but it's that place in between that we fear . . . . It's like being between trapezes. It's Linus when his blanket is in the dryer. There's nothing to hold on to. -Marilyn Ferguson  

The scariest thing about memories is thinking you're going to forget them.

Change isn't good or bad. It's just the way of things. Nothing stays the same.

Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight. -Benjamin Franklin

"Okay. The story is about a little wave, bobbing along in the ocean, having a grand old time. He's enjoying the wind and the fresh air-until he notices the other waves in front of him, crashing against the shore. "My God, this is terrible," the wave says. 'Look what's going to happen to me!' Then along comes another wave. It sees the first wave, looking grim, and it says to him, 'Why do you look so sad?' The first wave says, 'You don't understand! We're all going to crash! All of us waves are going to be nothing! Isn't it terrible?' The second wave says, 'No, you don't understand. You're not a wave, you're part of the ocean.'" -Mitch Albom, Tuesdays With Morrie

The world is rarely the way it's suppose to be. And given the chance, we don't have to wait for someone to make messes of our lives. We do a good enough job ourselves. -Jodi Picoult, Vanishing Acts

Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes. -Oscar Wilde
