When one door closes another door opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.
~ Alexander Graham Bell


Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail...

Happing is like a butterfly;
the more you chase it, the more
it will elude you,
but if you turn your attention to
other things, it will come and sit
softly on your shoulder.
Thoreau

I an only one,
but still I am one.
I cannot do every
thing,
but still I can do something.
And because I cannot do everything,
I will not refuse to do the something that
I can do.
Edward Everett Hale

[Joyce]

If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right.

The person who moves a mountain, begins by carrying away small stones.

A closed mind is a wonderful thing to lose.


Be grateful for who you are.
Be grateful for who you are to become.
Be grateful for the boulders placed upon your path.
For they are not obstacles but stepping stones on your
journey of self-realization
Joe Keane

[Joyce]

The truth is that our finest moments
are most likely to occur when we
are feeling deeply uncomfortable,
unhappy, or unfulfilled.
For it is only in such moments,
propelled by out discomfort,
that we are likely to step out of
our ruts and start searching for
different ways or truer answers.

M. Scott Peck

[Joyce]

A closed mind is a wonderful thing to lose.


Be grateful for who you are.
Be grateful for who you are to become.
Be grateful for the boulders placed upon your path.
For they are not obstacles but stepping stones on your
journey of self-realization
Joe Keane

When you free yourself from the condate of self-doubt
and follow your intuition, which is actually your inner
spirit seeking to gently guide you, you will be led
to the destination that your soul truly seeks
and the universe will fill in the details.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying
to make you something else, is the greatest
accomplishment.

The way to move out of Judgment
is to move into Gratitude

Live authentically,
and savor each previous moment
of your journey,
because the moment you arrive
at a destination,
another journey begins.

COURAGE
Courage is the strength to stand up
When it's easier to fall down and lose hold.
It is the conviction to explore new horizons
When it's easier to believe what we've been told.
Courage is the desire to maintain our integrity
When it's easier to look the other way.
It is feeling happy and alive, and moving forward
When it's easier to feel sorry for ourselves and stay.
Courage is the will to shape our world
When it's easier to let someone else do it for us.
It is the recognition that none of us are perfect
When it's easier to criticize others and fuss.
Courage is the power to step forward and lead
When it's easier to follow the crowd; their pleas resound.
It is the spirit that places you on top of the mountain
When it's easier to never leave the ground.
The foundation of courage is solid,
The rock that doesn't roll.
Courage is the freedom
Of our mind, body, and soul!

It Takes Courage
by Author Unknown
It takes strength to be firm,
It takes courage to be gentle.
It takes strength to conquer,
It takes courage to surrender.
It takes strength to be certain,
It takes courage to have doubt.
It takes strength to fit in,
It takes courage to stand out.
It takes strength to feel a friend's pain,
It takes courage to feel your own pain.
It takes strength to endure abuse,
It takes courage to stop it.
It takes strength to stand alone,
It takes courage to lean on another.
It takes strength to love,
It takes courage to be loved.
It takes strength to survive,
It takes courage to live.

[Joyce]

If I fail, I will start again.
I've not really gone backwards...
Im just feeling the pain.
I havent really lost all the progress
I've made in the past
It's still all waiting til I can regroup
and hold on again.
