Happy The Heart
Happy the heart that keeps its twilight hour, And, in the depths of heavenly peace reclined, Loves to commune with thoughts of tender power,– Thoughts that ascend, like angels beautiful, A shining Jacob’s-ladder of the mind! -Paul H. Hayne, Sonnet IX

“Sleep is the best meditation.” Dalai Lama

Amazing, Isn’t It, How Some People…
Amazing, isn’t it, how some people see the basket half empty and others see it half full? Some see life hopeless, others hopeful. Even when things are less than perfect, if you can think of the good, the beautiful, the hopeful, you’ll be more than sustained–you’ll conquer. -Author unknown

When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell, leap! Cynthia Heimel
