A Debt of Gratitude

"America's fighting men and women sacrifice much to ensure that our great nation stays free. We owe a debt of gratitude to the soldiers that have paid the ultimate price for this cause, as well as for those who are blessed enough to return from the battlefield unscathed."—Allen Boyd

Our Own Life Story

"We all have our own life story. It is filled with relationships and events that help shape who we are and what we believe to be true about the world. Depending on our perspective and willingness to grow, our experiences can become fodder for negativity and patterns of playing the victim, or they can fuel a life of empowerment and continued self-development. It is the story we tell ourselves about what happens that makes all the difference."~The DailyOM http://www.dailyom.com/

More Joy Than Any Possession

"Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible--it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could."~Barbara DeAngelis

Give Thanks

"Give thanks for sorrow that teaches you pity; for pain that teaches you courage -- and give exceeding thanks for the mystery which remains a mystery still - the veil that hides you from the infinite, which makes it possible for you to believe in what you cannot see."--Robert Nathan

Touch the Mystery

"In the sweet territory of silence we touch the mystery. It’s the place of reflection and contemplation, and it’s the place where we can connect with the deep knowing, to the deep wisdom way."--Angeles Arrien

Focus on the Journey

"Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it."~Greg Anderson

Beautiful Ghosts

"Like a moth to a flame we become helpless to the beautiful ghosts that true love sheds."--Ryan O'Neal

Through a Forest Wilderness

"The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness."--John Muir
