Midweek Musing

 "Where shall I find my happiness today -- in my memories, in my dreams, in my appreciation of the moment?  That last one would be a novel idea."

Know Thyself

 "I've learned this about myself -- that beneath my carefree, superficial exterior lies a thoughtful inner spirit that just wants to party." 

Thoughts From Our Resident Know-It-All

 "To know what makes another person tick is to have information they would give a lot to know."

"What those born to wealth invariably have more of than those who have earned their wealth is pride in the achievement."

"There is almost no advantage in life that people are not willing to risk totally rather than give up partially."

"It is always those who have already won the game who believe that it should now have rules."

One Morning...

"One morning in a spring that seemed

forever dark and drear,

The sun was on the meadow

and a fragrance filled the air,

And those who had succumbed to thoughts

of sadness and despair

Were caught again, as usual,

completely unaware!"

"The lesson of Holy Saturday is to never give up hope -- or at least give it another day."

A Best Friend...

"A best friend is someone who recognizes the tiny shrugs and faint smiles that constitute your cries for help." 

On Miracles

"One of the things we are allowed to decide for ourselves is whether we wish to have miracles in our lives."

"We don't always get the miracle we pray for, but we always get the strength we pray for."

"You can wait for a miracle, but it is usually a better strategy to meet it halfway."

"One of life's sadder realizations, looking back over the years, is that you were the miracle you didn't believe in."

On Hope

 "What does hope get you?  It gets you a hopeful life, and when you think about it, what more can you hope to have?"
