On difficult times...

Remember, don't get even, get odd.

A young woman once asked an old woman,
"What is life's heaviest burden?"
And the old woman replied,
"To have nothing to carry."

Faith in the dawn arises from the faith that God is good and just. When one believes this, one knows that the contradictions of life are neither final nor ultimate. One can walk through the dark night with the radiant conviction that all things work together for good for those that love God. Even the most starless midnight may herald the dawn of some great fulfillment.
--Martin Luther King, Jr.

Pure love and prayer are learned in the hour when prayer has become impossible and your heart has turned to stone.
--Thomas Merton

Dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is listening. Love like you've never been hurt and live like it's heaven on Earth.
--Mark Twain

I made some studies, and
Reality is the leading cause of stress for those in
touch with it. I can take it in small doses, but as a lifestyle
I found it too confining.
It was just too needful;
It expected me to be there for it all the time, and with all
I have to do --
I had to let something go.
-- Jane Wagner
