Pain

The pain of the mind is worse than the pain of the body.

-Publilius Syrus

Happiness & Unhappiness

All happiness or unhappiness solely depends upon the quality of the object to which we are attached by love.

-Baruch Spinoza

Change

Think about how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others.

Perspective

You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.

-Friedrich Nietzsche

Interpretation

All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.

-Friedrich Nietzsche

Tolerance

When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others.

-Peace Pilgrim

Love

I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me.

Love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person.

Love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of.

Love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone.

Love is caring about someone so much that you worry about them when they aren't around.

Love is putting someone else's needs before your own.

Love is feeling weak at the knees and having your heart beat faster when you see the one you love.

Love is so much more than can be expressed in words....

Falling in Love

Falling in love with someone isn't always easy...
Laughter...tears...joy...anger... disappointment...happiness...It's when you want to be together despite it all. That's when you truly love the other person!

Good Parenting

Parents must get across the idea that "I love you always, but sometimes I do not love your behaviour."
-Amy Vanderbilt

Miss you

You may be out of my sight...but you are never out of my mind...

I Miss You Dad!

-In memory of my father on his 7th death anniversary.
