Lovely quotes:
“To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.” ~ Mary Oliver

"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible." ~ Dalai Lama

“Time is a created thing. To say ‘I don’t have time’ is to say, ‘I don’t want to’.” ~ Lao Tzu

a truffle for your thoughts?

July 27th, 2009 by Fond of Snape

Just another Manic Monday…

What is one thing that you would change about yourself if you could? My low self esteem, for sure! I hate it, it limits me in interactions with others and makes it hard for me to accept a compliment, among other things.

Name three exotic countries you would like to visit: Japan, Okinawa & New Zealand Two would be re-visits…which two?

What do you think the secret to life is? Being able to accept everything with a positive attitude. Learning from your mistakes…hell, learning, period! To stay the same year after year is no way to live. Learn, let go, and live. Easier said than done, though, to be sure.

A truffle for your thoughts is a better deal than a penny, don’t you agree?

   You are an amazing photographer.

   Also, seems like you figured out some of life’s big mysteries.

   Can I have a truffle?

   Listen after your stuff, let’s go to New Zealand on a cruise! We can do an Australia/New Zealand cruise. My friends in Australia want me to come and I think you should come too! Then we’ll do the cruise!

   You are getting better at taking compliments as I gave you one the other day and you did very well with it!

   I know you’ve been to Japan so NZ must be the new place.

   Learn, let go and live. I like that. I’m working on it, girl!
