Final Countdown

Every journey begins with a first step. For some that step is harder than others. To all of todays first steps God Speed my friends.

“Come to the edge.”
“We can't. We're afraid.”
“Come to the edge.”
“We can't. We will fall!”
“Come to the edge.”
And they came.
And he pushed them.
And they flew.

-Guillaume Apollinaire

Life

"Love me when I least deserve it, because that's when I really need it."- Swedish proverb

I think this says a lot. If have one of those weeks where your entire world seems to change. Not really a good change, but not really a bad change, but a change still. I think if i had to describe this week in words it would be "ai shitte imasu". Hope, paths are moving changing. sometimes creating your own wears you down.

My Angel were does the path lead. In the end the world really isn't that big. And as i always say its the same star that we both are wishing on.

I know i have used this one before but i just feel like i need to play it today.

To all thoughs whose paths are unclear....

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

A friend sent me the video below.

For my friend always follow your heart no matter were that leads. Sometimes it hurts, but that is how we know we are alive. Life isn't going to give you your fairy tale story you have to create it.

Sometimes we reach paths, choices, It is so hard to leave one, to move on to the other. It is not fear, it is not rejection it is more the feeling of time lost. But in the end we must do what we must.

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle.

The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.- Ayn Rand

Strangers in the Night

And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin

Every once in a while i come across another. Someone who is strangely familiar, someone who understands, someone who carries the gift of empathy. It was actually refeshing and nice to talk to someone who completely understands. Strange but I actually look forward to our next conversation.

"Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way."- Unknown

Just to let you know my Angel, I miss you. I am reminded that life is just a brief moment, but if you were a falling star for an instance you are the brightest out there. This is for you...

Angel

Friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

Todays blog goes out to an Angel, You know who you are. What can i say but that in my heart that i had protected for the last year, you managed to chip away a piece. I don't know how you feel but thanks for the thought and making me smile. You are an amazing person that managed to find a part of me that was lost. Like you always said, Good things happen to good people....So this goes out across stars. And yes we were wishing on the same one....

Blue Moon

For all of those who are in pain and hurting on the inside...


Life is a funny thing. One day you are on the top of the world and the next your just doing your best to hang on. A lot of my friends out there are going through some tough stuff. Remember that this too shall pass. Love is a funny thing also. You meet someone, but you realize they are really out of your league. You fall in love, you fall out of it. But each time you lose a little piece of yourself. But you know for an instance you touched eternity and in the end that is what matters. So to all of you out there, love will carry you under its wings and protect you. peace....

"I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or
catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit."

Dawna Markova

“We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another. ”

Luciano de Crescenzo

New Roads

Life is very funny, i know i have said it before. Abraham Lincoln once wrote “And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.” I think there is a lot of wisdom in that. If you always afraid of the hurt the pain then you never take the leap. Sometimes the hurt and pain are just reminders that we are alive. things are changing for me. Love is a very interesting thing and sometimes you find it were you least expected it. Sometimes you know that you are walking to the pain, but you really just don't care because for the moment you are dancing. I think Henry Van Dyke was right when he said.

Time is too slow for those who wait,
too swift for those who fear,
too long for those who grieve,
too short for those who rejoice,
but for those who love,
time is eternity.

“And in the end, it's not the years in your life
that count. It's the life in your years.”

Abraham Lincoln

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.

Mother Teresa

No Regrets

Life is a funny thing i have to say. No more is one door shut than another door opens. Paths with which we can take. The question is which to take, one secure and safe, the other filled with pitfalls and dangers....but i guess that is what makes the journey fun.

"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time."

Jack London

Had a Bad Day

I have been thinking a lot lately, every day now i feel more like myself, returning. Life is a funny thing. In the end we all have a purpose, a very unique purpose. Love is a very funny thing. One of my fav. qoutes is "Love doesn't make the world go around, it is what makes the ride worth it."....oh well. hope this finds you all well

People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering.

St. Augustine, 354 430

"The foolish person seeks happiness in the distance, the wise person grows it under his feet."- James Oppenheim

"That's the risk you take if you change: that people you've beeninvolved with won't like the new you. But other people who do will come along."- Lisa Alther

This one goes out to someone very special. You know who you are. Sometimes paths cross and things happen that are so amazing it couldn't have been by accident. We all meet for some reason. For an instance we travel the same road. I don't know if we will ever be on the same road again, but sometimes just an instance is enough to change us

I know that i have used this one before but i think it fits well today. Sometimes i think you move forward three spaces just to be knocked back 5. Not sure why i keep doing this to myself. Oh well...
