Random Thoughts Thursday

A "quotes that get me by" edition

* From a card deck of inspirational thoughts: "You are all ways surrounded by love."

* From a card from my Mom: "In the seed is an apple you can't see yet. Good things will come."

* From a card bought in my favorite bookstore a few weeks ago: "Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart."

* From Avril Lavigne's "Who Knows": "Who knows what could happen. Do what you do, just keep on laughing. One thing's true, there's always a brand new day. I'm gonna live today like it's my last day."

* From Walt Whitman via "Dead Poets Society" and delivered loverly-like by Mr. Robin Williams: "... of endless trains of the faithless, of cities filled with the foolish, what good amid these, oh me, oh life? Answer: That you are here. That life exists and identity. That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. .... What will your verse be?"

* From a new journal with quotes from Thoreau: "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined."
