It is "joyful" to be back to finding some inspiration each day to share with you.

Yesterday - my oldest son came to me with an assignment. He had a list...a long list with the following words:

Death
Fear
Aging
Greed
Marriage
Family
Society
Forgiveness
Meaningful Life

Wow.
His class had read the book Tuesdays with Morrie. It was now the job of the student to go out and interview someone regarding their thoughts on the words above.

It was intense.
At 36 it was enlightening to realize...
We stand for profound individualistic thoughts on each subject.
Our own thoughts.

Through OUR personal experiences - We KNOW OURSELVES.
It was not only enlightening - it was empowering.
....I answered with certainty each and every question.
Wow, Again.
It felt tremendous.

It is a very good place in life when you finally know for sure certain things you stand for, and are not apprehensive to share that with people.
When you don't take your opinions from books, from history, when you have come to a place in life that you simply don't follow the crowd anymore.
You KNOW your path.

The beautiful thing is that 10 years from now our thoughts will vary and change and grow - yet still be our own.
I love that.


Ideals are like stars: you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you reach your destiny.
~Carl Schurz


It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.
~Sally Field

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.
~Judy Garland

I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I've written for myself, and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part.
~Shirley MacLaine
{I know I have posted this before, but I LOVE IT!}

Read this one TWICE!!!!
At bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time.
~Friedrich Nietzsche
