Grief

Grief is the price we pay for love.

-Queen Elizabeth

In memory of my father on his 12th death anniversary.

Love & Fate

I didn't fall in love with you. I walked into love with you, with my eyes wide open, choosing to take every step along the way. I do believe in fate and destiny, but I also believe we are only fated to do the things that we'd choose anyway. And I'd choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I'd find you and I'd choose you.

-Kiersten White, The Chaos of Stars

Patience & Attitude

Two things define you,

Your patience when you have nothing,

and your attitude when you have everything!

Contentment

He who is not happy with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.

-Socrates

Definition of Stupid

Knowing the truth,
Seeing the Truth,
But still believing the lies!

-Author unknown

Being Grateful

The things you take for granted, someone else is praying for!

Grief

Grief is like the ocean,
it comes in waves,
ebbing and flowing.
Sometimes the water is calm,
and sometimes it is overwhelming.
All we can do is learn to swim.

-Vicki Harrison

Health

Health is not valued till sickness comes!

-Thomas Fuller

Choices

Life is about choices. Some we regret, some we are proud of. Some will haunt us forever. What we need to remember is - we are what we chose to be.

-Graham Brown

Fake Friends

Fake friends are like shadows. They follow you in the sun, but leave you in the dark.

Good Friends

Good friends help you find important things when you have lost them. Your smile, your courage and your ability to hope!

Friendship

Only those who care about you can hear you when you are quiet.

Missing you!

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us everyday,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

-Matt Fraser

Dad

Some people don't believe in heroes, but then they haven't met my dad!

My dad, my hero. Sorely missed but never forgotten!

- In memory of my father on his 11th death anniversary

Consequences

There aren’t many sure things in life, but one thing I know for sure is

that you have to deal with the consequences of your actions. You have to follow

through on some things.

― Cecelia Ahern, Love, Rosie

Dreams, Hopes, Ambitions

It's funny because when you're a child, you believe you can be anything you want to be, go wherever you want to go. There's no limit to what you can dream. You expect the unexpected, you believe in magic, in fairy tales, and in possibilities. Then you grow older and that innocence is shattered and somewhere along the way the reality of life gets in the way and you're hit by the realization that you can't be all you wanted to be, you just might have to settle for a little bit less.

Or perhaps a variation of what you once wanted.

Why do we stop believing in ourselves? Why do we let facts and figures and anything but dreams rule our lives?

― Cecelia Ahern, Love, Rosie

Love

You deserve someone who loves you with every single beat of his heart, someone who thinks about you constantly, someone who spends every minute of every day just wondering what you're doing, where you are, who you're with, and if you're OK.  You need someone who can help you reach your dreams and protect you from your fears. You need someone who will treat you with respect, love every part of you, especially your flaws. You should be with someone who could make you happy, really happy, dancing on air happy.

-Cecelia Ahern, Love, Rosie

Thought for the day!

There are innumerable mysteries to the universe. But who we are, is not one of them.
That answer lies inside us.


- Transformers: Age of Extinction

Caring for the Elderly

To care for those who once cared for us is one of the highest honours.
If only more people realised that! 

Life

Sometimes the hardest things in life are the things most worth doing.
