"If you spend your life avoiding surprises, are you really living or
just giving in?"
--Dog's Eye View, "Falling in Place"
Be truthful to yourself and to others. Love who you are today, not who
you're planning to be tomorrow. Cherish the moment. Everything is here,
everything is now. And all that truly matters is right here, in front of
you. And right there, inside of you.
"You can't leave footprints in the sands of time by sitting on your butt.
And who wants to leave buttprints in the sands of time?"
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. Delicious ambiguity.

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary
ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end
of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's
realities.
- Dr. Seuss -
One day at a time -- this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the
past, for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has
not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be
worth remembering."
- Ida Scott Taylor -
"A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will
annoy enough people to make it worth the effort."
- Herm Albright -
"Sooner or later we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive
at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip."
- "The Station" by Robert J. Hastings -
Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what's next or how.
The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never
entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in
the dark.
-Agnes de Mille-
