SOME OF MY FAV QUOTES
My grandmother used to say, “If you can't change
something, change the way you think about it."
[-Maya Angelou]
**"GRAMs always 'know' best!"
[dht-2011] **
“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but
anyone can start today and make a new ending.”
[-Maria Robinson]
“Even though we've changed and we're all finding
our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile
spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this
crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're
not all still friends.”
[-unknown]
“The doors we open and close each day decide the
lives we live.”
[-Flora Whittemore]
“Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can
change your life forever.”
[-Keri
Russell]
“What you leave behind is not what is engraved in
stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.”
[-Pericles]
“There is nothing wrong with change, if it is in
the right direction.”
[-Winston Churchill {Sir Winston Leonard Spencer -Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, PC, DL, FRS (30 Nov 1874 – 24 Jan
1965) was a British politician and statesman} (my Maternal Cousin, THAT's right!) ]
“Life can either be accepted or changed. If it is not accepted, it must be changed. If it cannot be changed, then it must be
accepted.” [-unknown]
“You've changed so much. I guess that's what happens. I wish you knew how much you changed me. I wonder if I changed you, if your life is
different because of me. Because mine's
different."
[-unknown]
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I
cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know
the difference.”
[-Reinhold Niebuhr]
“Change is the essence of life. Be willing to surrender what you are for what
you could become.” [-unknown]
“Everything in life is connected somehow. You may have to dig deep to find it but it's
there. Everything is the same even
though it's different. Somehow,
everything connects back with your life.
The faces in certain places may be different, but the situation is the
same. Irony is a hidden factor that
creeps around us in life, letting its presence felt only after it has left. Picture back to a year ago and the situations
you were in. Look at how things are
different yet somehow everything is still in some way cognate [alike]. Everything connects together to form the
balance of life, to maintain structure. Change
is and always will be inevitable, but everything is relative, and all the
moments and times in your life will come back around again, you just might find
yourself on the other side of the coin. Things
are always changing, as fast as everything stays the same.”
[-unknown]
“Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures
as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret, and depression. Do not repeat them in the future.”
[-Swami Sivananda]
“Life is change.
Growth is optional. Choose
wisely.” [-unknown]
“We are not the same persons this year as last;
nor are those we love. It is a happy
chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person.”
[-William Somerset Maugham]
“It is always the simple things that change our lives. And these things never happen when you are
looking for them to happen. Life will
reveal answers at the pace life wishes to do so. You feel like running, but life is on a
stroll. This is how God does things.”
[-Donald Miller]

SOME OF MY WORDS
TODAY, 26 Feb 2011, was a life-changing day for me. So I am posting these sayings
that seem to 'fit' my new perspective with a photo that seems to pair with the 'new' !!!!
MY FAV saying and the one that most 'fits' me today is the last
quote by Donald Miller!
THE PHOTO illustrates to ME in
its imagery ---
ALTHOUGH I may look different on the outside while among you, IF YOU LOOK
CLOSELY, you will see how much we are the same—IF YOU TAKE THE 'TIME' TO LOOK
CLOSELY!
