"Unfortunately, an overwhelming majority of Americans have only a vague idea of where they are going in life.  They get up in the morning to go to work, then come home to relax, make dinner, watch TV, and go to bed, only to get up again the next day and begin it all over again.  Most Americans get so busy making a living, that they forget to make a life." -- my FAVORITE quote at the moment.  So true, isn't it???

"At least the past is safe -- though we didn't know it at the time.  We know it now.  Because it's in the past, because we have survived."

"Live with intention.  Walk to the edge.  Listen hard.  Practive wellness.  Play with abandon.  Laugh.  Choose with no regret.  Continue to learn.  Appreciate your friends.  Do what you love.  Live as if this is all there is."

"You have to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad, love what you've got, and remember what you had.  Always forgive but never forget.  Learn from your mistakes, but never regret.  People change, things go wrong, just remember . . . . life goes on!"

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

"The things you hear about me could be true, but then again, it could be as fake at the Bitch that told you!"

"There are some things you can't escape.  And other things you just don't want to know."

"Here's what I know.  If you're willing to throw caution to the wind and take a chance, the view from the other side is spectacular."

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it even happened!"  :)
