made me think of you...
I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death. Leonardo da Vinci Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. Mahatma Gandhi Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. Helen Keller Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars. Khalil Gibran |

I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make life a lot more fun.

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.

thank you for making me laugh...and smile...
A day without laughter is a day wasted. Charlie Chaplin Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh. George Bernard Shaw, The Doctor's Dilemma, 1906 Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one. Oscar Wilde In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. Khalil Gibran Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is. Francis Bacon |

I got up this morning did my regular thing getting ready for work hesitant on sending my son to school he still seems under the weather but I did. as I drove to work I remember to say my prayers I have been doing that everyday as of late tried to get in habit of thanking God everyday for my life and being alive I guess that is the only blessing I can find out of my sickness is it brought my walk closer to God and makes me realize how precious life is. the mail you sent me this morning was really a saving grace for me thank you very much. the first piece you wrote about everybody being themselves yeah I have to agree I find myself a very unique combination...of Good..Evil..Sweet..Satanic...Loving...Mean ..Nice...and Humble..Etc... we were supposed to race this weekend the weather says it's going to rain 90% both days I so nicely said F*** you Rain. Been missing my Mom a lot lately. It helps to have people in my online life,I can call friends. People like you. Thank you again for this morning you do not realize the volume of your mail. Sherrie. |

Life's Lessons, as shared by 'Jonathan':
01. Often those who aren't the easiest to love are the ones who need it the most. 02. Seeing children play can make even the bluest day brighter. 03. Money is not the root of all evil, fear is. 04. The secret to happiness is the acceptance of yourself. 05. Happiness is not based on external status, it is an internal state. 06. Money can'��t make me happy, but self-sufficiency gives me the freedom to share myself creatively, without worrying about how I'��m going to pay the bills. 07. Every man has a right to choose his own destiny. 08. The path is the way. 09. Coming is going, going is coming. 10. The hardest is found in the easiest. 11. Heaven and hell exist here and now, within your own mind. 12. Life is the largest stage. 13. Music is one of the most supreme expressions of life. It is art in it'�s most transitory form. It is gone within an instant, and therefore, extremely precious. 14. Follow your gut, you'��ll thank yourself later. 15. Remember what your mother taught you, it came from the most sacred place of love that exists. 16. Never let an argument last, never hold a grudge, it will make your heart heavy. 17. Forgive those that have yet to do you wrong, and you won'��t have to worry about it should the time come. 18. Be grateful for this moment, it is all there is. 19. The source of most of your frustrations and anxiety are the result of living in the future, or the past. 20. Spend time alone with yourself every day. 21. Always go with yourself, never against yourself. 22. You have to be your own best friend. 23. If you don'��t like what someone else says to you, you can walk away. But if you don'��t like what you say to yourself, you can'��t walk away. Therefore, if you'��re going to be with yourself all the time, you might as well be nice to yourself. 24. The truth shall indeed set you free. 25. Lies only exist if we believe in them. 26. Even the most fundamental beliefs about reality are not true in themselves. Our thinking makes them true in our experience. 27. Your thoughts create reality. 28. The biggest lie is the lie of your imperfection. 29. Being kind is more important than being right. 30. Your heart is your best compass. 31. Cherish those that you love, you never know if you'��ll see them again. 32. Your beliefs are a filter for your reality. 33. Love is the supreme expression of life, it is the essence and ground of all creation. 34. Believing in yourself is the greatest gift you can give yourself. 35. Your friends can be an elevator, or a cage. 36. The best investment you can make, is in yourself. 37. Suffering is the result of unfulfilled expectations. 38. Intentions are like seeds in our consciousness, with water and nurture, they will flower into existence. 'What thoughts, what seeds, are you nurturing?' 39. What you feel is always right, however, the root of those feelings may be based on lies. 40. The meaning of life is not found in something other than life. 41. Life is dreaming with the brain awake. 42. Creatively expressing yourself is like making love to the universe. 43. Everything is a game, or a dance, life is the ultimate game, the ultimate dance. 44. Time is a real illusion. 45. When beauty is seen as beauty, there is ugliness. 46. When the mind is clear, a dark room has its blue sky. 47. Sometimes the best answer is 'silence'. 48. We are not our bodies, we identify ourselves with our bodies, but in reality, we are the energy that moves through them. 49. When tired, sleep, when hungry, eat. 50. Division is only found in the mind, it is not present in reality. 51. Love & Compassion can heal the deepest wounds. 52. An eye for an eye makes us all blind. 53. The greatest gift you can give someone is your 'time'. 54. Practice makes the master, we are creatures of habit. 55. If you want to receive, 'give'. 56. In life, we have control only over two things: "what we think" & "what we say". 57. Your perception of others is 'a reflection of your own reality'. 58. If you believe you can, you 'can', if you believe you cannot, you 'cannot'. 59. When you are true to yourself in all your actions, your life takes on a whole new level of joy you never thought possible. 60. Devotion is the supreme symbol of love. 61. Life'��s worth is not defined by external success, but by your 'collection of experiences'. 62. Everyone is an divine artist, writing their own story each day, choose to write your story with love. 63. The meaning of life is found in the present, it is found now. 64. Sometimes your joy comes from your smile. 65. Imagine how our lives could change, if with every action, we simply asked ourselves: "Is 'this' what I want?" 66. Your level of happiness is largely related to your level of intimacy with nature.
