More of my favorite quotes......
"We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it." ~ John Lennon
"The chances of finding your ideal Prince or Princess is probably one in a million, and I don't believe that he or she exists. You have to accept the fact that your Prince or Princess will never be able to meet all of your needs, and that is fine." ~ Natalie Holland
Judge nothing, you will be happy. Forgive everything, you will be happier. Love everything you will be happiest. ~ Chinmoy
Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy.~ Rabbi Abraham Heschel
Age is the acceptance of a term of years. But maturity is the glory of years. ~ Martha Graham

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stanger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. ~ Melody Beattie

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
