"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."

"Love is the immortal flow of energy that nourishes, extends and preserves. Its eternal goal is life." ~Smiley Blanton~

"Watch your thoughts, for they become words
Choose your words, for they become actions
Understand your actions, for they become habits
Study your habits, for they will become your character
Develop your character, for it becomes your destiny...."

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success." ~Anonymous~

"Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose."

Love because you are loved."
