Quotes!

Some I found to be good ones.

“May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.”

Irish blessing

“Don't be dismayed at goodbyes, a farewell is necessary before you can meet again and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.”

Richard Bach

“The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. stone crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die. but things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.”

Chuck Palahniuk

“I laugh, I love, I hope, I try, I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry. And I know you do the same things too, So we're really not that different, me and you.”

Colin Raye

“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

“A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.”

Haiku's

I thought I'd post some of my Haiku's for your reading enjoyment. Some are silly, some are serious but they are all my words!


Coughing and sneezing
Having a cold is a drag
I'm out of tissues


Walking in the rain
The clouds are gray and murky
Rain drips from my hair


Anger flows through me
Keeping myself from screaming
My cheeks are burning


Day turns into night
Everything in sleepy bliss
Wishing on a star


The Lord gives his life
A terrible death to die
We are the sinners


Eyes starting to shut
Talking starts to fade away
While sleeping in class


Tall,dark and handsome
Eyes that look into my soul
Body that lures me.


There you have it... some of the Haiku's I have written over the last 9 years. Enjoy!

Journal Prompt of the evening (What is your Idea of Beauty?)

Decided to go to http://journalingprompts.com/ and put my cursor over a prompt and this is the one it gave me (completely random.. just a page of * and each mouse roll over gives you the topic)

What is your idea of beauty?

My idea of beauty? Someone with a beautiful heart. Someone who is nice to others, cares about people and truely is a good person.

Outer beauty is nice however inner beauty is more valued and more precious. I can see someone who has a lot of outter beauty and their personality is ugly. That makes them ugly to me regardless of the shell they choose to cloak it with.

Ok I want to do another.

How are you similar or different from the person you were 10 years ago.

Well 10 years ago I was a sophmore in college. I was way over my head in things I was doing which left little time for me to have free time. I was in 7 ensembles a year both vocal and instrumental. Although I enjoyed them all a lot I was overworking myself.I partied a bit more than I do now.

I'm more of an extrovert then I was then. I am more sarcastic and cynical than I used to be. I enjoy what little things I can do to continue using my musical abilities and such. And I'm a mom so I have those responsibilities now. I may occasionally have a beer with a friend once in a blue moon because there simply isn't enough time with shows,soccer,work and such.

Life is definitely busier but for other reasons. Nice to be busy!
