whatever you fight
you stregthen
And what you resist
persists

A quote by one of my favorite people, Mr. Fred Rogers:  "Often when you think you're at the end of something, you're really at the beginning of something else."

You Create Your Own Reality

[A66eyroad]

A quote from one of my heros, Tony Judt, late of NYU's Remarque Institute, who suffered from ALS and never let it stop him for a minute: "There is something to be said for simply doing the thing you would do anyway, doing it as well as you can under the circumstances, and getting past the sympathy vote as soon as possible."

Read a little about Tony in this article written by his wife for The New York Review of Books:  http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2012/mar/22/tony-judt-final-victory/?pagination=false

[MarkP_1972]

Laugh your heart out.
Dance in the rain.
Cherish the moment.
Ignore the pain.
Live. Laugh. Love.
Forgive and forget -
as life is to short
to be living with regrets.

[A66eyroad]

Be The Best of Whatever You Are
Douglas Malloch

If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill,
Be a scrub in the valley - but be
The best little scrub by the side of the rill;
Be a bush if you can't be a tree.
If you can't be a bush be a bit of the grass,
And some highway happier make;
If you can't be a muskie then just be a bass -
But the liveliest bass in the lake!
We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew,
There's something for all of us here,
There's big work to do, and there's lesser to do,
And the task you must do is the near.
If you can't be a highway then just be a trail,
If you can't be the sun be a star;
It isn't by size that you win or you fail -
Be the best of whatever you are!

[WildThing]

You can outdistance that which is running outside of you but you cannot outdistance that which is running inside of you.

(African Proverb)
