Happy Valentine's Day

"To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down." - Woody Allen, Love and Death

While I'm not a big Woody Allen fan, I do find that quote rather amusing. In essence, as we all know, love is a tough concept to pinpoint, to define. Each of us has had our own experiences with love and it's hard to say what it means to any one person. Therefore my wish today is that we all celebrate the people or activities in our life that bring us joy and make this day-to-day journey worth living.

Happy Valentine's Day!

The Bright Side of Life...Whistle With Me?

"Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now." - Goethe

A week of lying in bed and lounging on the couch drinking fluids and wishing I could breathe really gave me time to think. I guess that's what being sick can do. But I'm tip top now. And back to my 'ole positive self. Wait...hmmm...

Ok, I'm TRYING to be positive. The thing is, and if you've been following my blog you know this is my constant state of dilemma, I have my moments of uncertainty. Those times when I think I'm on a path, headed in a direction, knowing what I want and how to get there, and then there are moments, when I don't have a clue.

But, in my sedentary state, it occurred to me that I need to get moving. And even if things aren't happening as fast as I'd like or in the manner I wish them to, does not mean things are not going anywhere.

I just have to remember to stay positive. After all, "It's easy to wallow in the dark. It's a brave choice to be happy." I read that somewhere once and I think it's true. And here's one more: "As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live." - Goethe

No matter where you are today, tonight, tomorrow...just remember that your attitude is what helps you get where you want to go. And helps you along the way to getting there. I'll try to stay positive, if you will?
