Sometimes I wonder if its all worth while, if I’ll ever make it. Sometimes I think that my dreams won’t ever come true. With everyday that passes, I know there is another clue... Sometimes things are right under my nose and all I had to do is look. Sometimes all I want is to save a rose and then just go on with my life. Sometimes I wonder why life takes such unexpected turns. Then I realize, this is my life... If I had not taken these trails, where would I be?

"It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power."
Alan Cohen

Thank you so much for the delicious quotes! They have led me to this one from my favourite John Fowles: To accept one's limited freedom, to accept one's isolation, to accept this responsibility, to learn one's particular powers, and then with them to humanize the whole: that is the best for this situation./John Fowles, The Aristos/

I must be in a dreamy mood..
When your heart is in your dreams, no request is too extreme. Jiminy Cricket
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined. Henry David Thoreau
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them. Henry David Thoreau
No dreamer is ever too small; no dream is ever too big. Unknown

Oh and I just found this one.. it's one I've liked in the past.
People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within. ~Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

"The price of the democratic way of life is a growing appreciation of people's differences, not merely as tolerable, but as the essence of a rich and rewarding human experience."

Here are two of my all time favourite quotations:
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.
J.R.R. Tolkien
Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice ....
J.R.R. Tolkien

Make the best of life's moments...What really matters at the end of the day is if you've made the best use of time, and done everything that you needed to do...Don't sit just there waiting, you only live once!

Heard this on the radio on the way back from the rink this morning:
Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles,and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will ...grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident, and more and more successful. Mark Victor Hansen
