A funny thing....

....happens to people in love. They find their capacity to care is seemingly limitless. Even if, prior to the experience, a person or situation hardly mattered, suddenly it matters more than anything. Love and concern are not the only emotions that can be 'self-replenishing'. 

Our reserves of compassion, patience, tolerance and kindness are inexhaustible if we only allow them to be.

There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being

superior to your former self. (Ernest Hemingway)

They say....

.....'Time and tide wait for no man.' That is so true, and these powerful natural forces wait for no woman, either. The reference books date this phrase to the 14th century, but it is hard to imagine that, prior to this, they either had no such saying or it didn't apply. If only we had a time machine, we could go back and check.

Meanwhile, with no such facility, the risk could be in expending too much energy dwelling on a past you cannot alter, is that you may miss the chance to seize your next big real chance.

Forever is composed of nows.    (Emily Dickinson)

Let's have a....

They say moment..... 

They say 'Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans.' So, if you want to enjoy life more, should you stop making plans? No. Experiences are usually richer when our days contain a little space for spontaneity. Plans, though, can be rewarding to make and enjoyable to stick to. We just have to remember that they won't always work out and that we need to be philosophical when they don't.

If your plans are unravelling a little. Don't worry. Just reweave the threads.

The hardest battle you are ever going to have to fight is the battle to be just you.   (Leo Buscaglia)
