Hello all! I've been abundantly blessed by my virtual coffee chats with so many of you in this wonderful forum on Books and Literature! (The Relationship forum is fun too, but this is where inspiration comes from... "the stuff dreams are made of" )
Anyways... We all have favorite quotes, quotes that have touched a chord in our hearts and minds, quotes that have influenced our decisions, inspired us to go that extra mile, give us courage to face the day, and shown us what real living is like.
Lets share these divine inspirations with our little world here - on this little posting. I'll start with one of my all-time favorites....
Being a star-gazer myself and being the proud owner of a tempestuous personal history, this is one of my favorites - it reminds me that no matter what is swirling around me at a given time, I can get through it.
"The most tempestuous wind cannot disturb the quiet of the stars."
Literary wishes and Shakespearean dreams,

Adieu! I have too grieved a heart to take a tedious leave. ~William Shakespeare
I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. ~Gilda Radner
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. ~Theodor Seuss Geisel, attributed
Something that I've known was going to happen for a while happened. It was right, the "best thing", the "good thing"... but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt a wee bit.
(This is one of those partitioned off parts of the heart that I've talked about before... and actually what helped me find AMHD...)
Sneezy, Darling... I'm saving the crying until after work... don't be so nice!
Really though... it was time. It was right. C'est le vie. I am honestly and truly able to "smile because it happened." Losing a true, REAL friend is like losing a part of you. That's all. But it was right.
HC, if you need to talk about it we're here. You can PM, you can email, or you can let it all out here on the boards. You know that we're here for you, and we love you so much. I hope your day gets better, and that you find your smile.
Its a situation that I got myself into - its what brought me to AMHD (and for that I"m glad) - that could have been awful... but in my perpetual-Barbie-girl-optimist way, it avoided its potential landslide capabilities and turned into one of the most amazing friendships I've ever experienced....
But today, I had to say goodbye. I'm truly smiling because it happened, but aching because its gone. But it was right and for the best and nothing can convince me of anything different.
Losing a friend is terribly hard, but when its the right thing to do, it makes it logical, but doesn't stop the hurt.
