My Ruminations ~ Sometimes Enlightening or Amusing, Other Times Painfully Dry ~ Either Way, You'll Get Your Money's Worth.
Find something you are passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it.
~Julia Child
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."
~Melody Beattie
“The winds of grace are always blowing, but you have to raise the sail. ”
~ Ramakrishna
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time."
~ Thomas A. Edison
“… What we love determines what we seek.
What we seek determines what we think and do.
What we think and do determines who we are – and who we will become.”
~ President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
~ Marie Osmond
~William Blake
“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark. In the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish and leave only frustration for the life you deserved, but never have been able to reach. The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.”
~ Ayn Rand (note: I disagree with virtually EVERYTHING else Ayn had to say in her lifetime, but this, this strikes a chord. So it shall be.)
"humans are designed to seek comfort and order, and so if they have comfort and order, they tend to plant themselves, even if their comfort isn't all that comfortable. and even if they secretly want for something better."
~donald miller
"if you want to master something, teach it." ~unknown
"Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day, I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return." ~Unknown
