    "Care is the ingredient that keeps true friendship alive despite separation, distance or time. Care gives latitude to another person, gets you past the dislikes and annoyances. Quite simply caring, sustains love."

    I believe in the sun
    Even when
    It is not shining

    I believe in love
    Even when
    I cannot feel it

    I believe in God
    Even when
    He is silent

    Shared that with one of my AMHD favorites today - thought I'd put it on here. :)

    The quote was found on the wall of a Jewish hiding place in Cologne.

    As we go through life,
    From the cradle to the hearse,
    Nothing is ever so bad,
    That it couldn't be worse.

    To have a child is to constantly have your heart float around outside your body.

    I may not be much, but I am all I got

    Very, very true.

    Shakespeare also said it well in Hamlet through the instruction of a father to his son:

    "And these few precepts in thy memory
    Look thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
    Nor any unproportion'd thought his act.

    Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
    Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
    Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
    But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
    Of each new-hatch'd, unfledg’d comrade.

    Beware
    Of entrance to a quarrel but, being in,
    Bear't that th' opposed may beware of thee.

    Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;
    Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgement.

    Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
    But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
    For the apparel oft proclaims the man;
    And they in France of the best rank and station
    Are of a most select and generous chief in that.

    Neither a borrower, nor a lender be;
    For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
    And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.

    This above all: to thine own self be true,
    And it must follow, as the night the day,
    Thou canst not then be false to any man."

    "If peace be in the heart, the wildest winter storm is full of solemn beauty..."

    ---C. F. Richardson

    The only source of peace of this depth and magnitude for me has come from asking Jesus Christ to come into my heart.


    Just like a bird
    Confined in a cage,

    I cannot always
    Choose my boundaries

    But I can
    Choose my song!

    ---Unknown

    I have applied this to my life almost daily... not always successfully, but it is always in my mind.


    Transition is not because something is wrong. Transition is because something is over... Unknown


    Commitment and loyalty lies in trust and truth.
    ---Jan Bolinger

    Love is blind but when one receives one's sight and can still love, that is true love.
    ---Jan Bolinger

    "Love Unexpressed Is Love Unknown"



    It is a foolish person who won't give up that which he cannot keep, for that which he cannot lose.

    From my favorite chick flick, The Holiday:

    Arthur Abbott: Iris, in the movies we have leading ladies and we have the best friend. You, I can tell, are a leading lady, but for some reason you are behaving like the best friend.
    Iris: You're so right. You're supposed to be the leading lady of your own life, for god's sake! Arthur, I've been going to a therapist for three years, and she's never explained things to me that well. That was brilliant. Brutal, but brilliant.

    Lady Astor: "Mr. Churchill you're drunk!"
    Winston Churchill: "And you, Lady Astor, are ugly. As for my condition, it will pass by the morning. You, however, will still be ugly."


    Lady Astor: "Sir, if you were my husband, I would poison your drink."
    Winston Churchill: "Madam, if you were my wife, I would drink it."

    "There is not a thin line between love and hate. There is --- in fact --- a Great Wall of China with armed sentries posted every 20 feet between love and hate."
