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."

Letting go isn't about giving up. It's about accepting that there are things that cannot be.
Sometimes you have to let someone go to see if there is anything worth holding on to.
To let go isn't to forgot, not to think about, or ignore. It doesn't leave feelings of anger, jealousy, or regret. Letting go isn't about winning or losing. It's not about pride and it's not about how you appear, and it's not obsessing or dwelling on the past. Letting go isn't blocking memories or thinking sad thoughts, and doesn't leave emptiness, hurt, or sadness. It's not about giving in or giving up. Letting go isn't about loss and it's not about defeat. To let go is to cherish the memories, but to overcome and move on. It is having an open mind confidence in the future. Letting go is learning and experiencing and growing. To let go is to be thankful for the experiences that made you laugh, made you cry, and made you grow. It's about all that you have, all that you had, and all that you will soon gain. Letting go is having the courage to accept change, and the strength to keep moving. Letting go is growing up. It is realizing that the heart can sometimes be the most potent remedy. To let go is to open a door, and to clear a path and set yourself free.
Psalm is a wonderful book full of memorable verses I grew up with and now hold close to my heart. Psalm 23 being one of them that I listed below.
There is also another verse I have said a thousand times over in my head, as it was also a children's song. I can't remember where the verse is located in the Bible, if any of you knows please share with me. The verse was something I would say when I found myself scared or nervous about something. I always found so much comfort in the words. As silly as it may sound, I still find myself singing the verse in my head.
It goes... Trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make straight your path.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul, he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Psalm 23. 1
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 27. 1
Every man at his best state is altogether vanity.

My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
Psalm 51. 15
Mercy and truth are met together: righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heave.
Psalm 85. 10
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Psalm 91. 2
The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
Psalm 103. 8
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Psalm 119. 105
I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Psalm 139. 14
"The most important part of vehicle maintenance is clean windows - so if you are broken down, you can still enjoy the beauty of the view." Dan Eldon
"Behind every successful woman is a substantial amount of coffee."
And, last but not least....
"I want to be remembered as the girl who always smiles even when her heart is broken, and the one that could always brighten your day even if she couldn't brighten her own."
