Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men’s hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.

especially since i missed that first one.
When you start to know someone, all their physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in their energy, recognize the scent of their skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That’s why you can’t fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it…
You can love it with your eyes and your body but not your heart. And that’s why, when you really connect with a person’s inner self, any physical imperfections disappear; become irrelevant.

There is a fine line between wrong and visionary. Unfortunately you have to be a visionary to see it.

God writes a lot of comedy… the trouble is, he’s stuck with so many bad actors who don’t know how to play funny.

- Forgive. Forgiveness is a wonderful way to release the past and love unconditionally. To be at peace with the process of life, draw a line behind you and free yourself of limitations. Move forward to new beginnings.
- Be still. Be still in moments of confusion, fear or anxiety. Focus on your breath. The solution will come forth in the stillness.
- Meditate. Sit quietly, breath deeply and visualize your heart as a blazing orb of light.
- Love yourself. Look into the mirror, see yourself as if for the very first time and say, “I love myself unconditionally.”
- Journal. Portray your feelings to understand who you are and your view of the world.
- Hug.
- Hugs relieve pain, fear and depression
- They increase health and happiness
- They provide a stretching exercise to short people and a stooping exercise to those that are tall
- Hugging does not upset the environment
- It requires no special equipment
- It saves heat and energy
- Hugging makes happy days happier and impossible days possible
- Fall in love. Fall in love with everyone you meet. Enjoy the love others have to offer.
- Be of service. Be selfless in service to others.

To which fate binds you and
Love the people with whom fate
Brings you together
But do so with all your heart.
