SOME OF MY FAVORITE QUOTES"If you want to give God a good laugh, tell him your plans." Yiddish proverb "Strive for excellence, not perfection." H. Jackson Brown, Jr. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach him to use the Net and he won't bother you for weeks. "When you're caught in stressful situations, try the NICE strategy: Recast the upset as a New, Interesting, Challenging, Experience." Naresh Kumar, M.D., Institute of Stress Medicine, Canada. quoted in Woman's Day (4-20-99) A bad habit is like a soft chair–easy to get into but hard to get out of. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're smiling and everyone around you is crying tears of joy for having known you. Congratulations! You're a winner today. The good things you expect, will come to you. The actions you take, will bring results. The opportunity you look for, will appear. The people you serve, will give you their support. The effort you put forth, will bring rich rewards. The value you create, will add to your wealth. The love you give, will bring you joy. The burdens you shoulder, will make you strong. The problems you solve, will make you wise. The moments you fill with purpose and care, will bring fulfillment. You're a winner today. The good things you do will come back to you. -- Ralph Marston 
Remember half the people you know are below average
"It is only imperfection that complains of what is imperfect. The more perfect we are, the more gentle and quiet we become towards the defects of others."
--Joseph Addison "Count no day lost in which you waited your turn, took only your share and sought advantage over no one." --Robert Brault "Work like you don't need the money, Love like you've never been hurt,and dance like nobody's watching." Do not worry about yesterday, because it is history. Do not worry about the future, because it is a mystery. Enjoy today to the fullest, because it is a gift. That is why it is called the "PRESENT"... 
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential turn a life around. - Leo Buscaglia It is not by accident that the happiest people are those who make a conscious effort to live useful lives. Their happiness, of course, is not a shallow exhilaration where life is one continuos intoxicating party. Rather, their happiness is a deep sense of inner peace that comes when they believe their lives have meaning and that they are making a difference for good in the world. ~ Ernest Fitzgerald ~
Man was provided an imagination to compensate him for what he is not. And was provided a sense of humor to console him for what he is.
Reflections of a Crone (wise woman)If you could have one perfect day...what would you do from the time you got up until you went to bed? True abundance is simply the ability to see the abundance we already have. I cannot give you a formula for success, but I can offer you a formula for failure... "Try and please everyone" An ounce of doing is worth a pound of intention! Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and the wrong. Sometime in life you will have been all of these. An "ounce" of example is worth a gallon of advice! Is it possible that we can sometimes cling to our fears because we do not believe we deserve more or perhaps to keep us from pursuing happiness? for more reflections click here
