by Emily Fessler
Dry up my tears with your gentle winds,
For your words cease my tears.
Blow away my dark clouds,
For your strong winds blow them away.
Bring me happiness with your sun beams,
For your sunshine warms my soul.
Whisper me a deep secret with your breeze,
For your words bring me a warm feeling.
Put out my raging fire,
For your rain sizzles it down.
Everything you do is my everything,
And I'll never forget that you're my sunshine.
Longing
by Matthew Arnold
Come to me in my dreams, and then
By day I shall be well again!
For so the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing of the day.
Come, as thou cam'st a thousand times,
A messenger from radiant climes,
And smile on thy new world, and be
As kind to others as to me!
Or, as thou never cam'st in sooth,
Come now, and let me dream it truth,
And part my hair, and kiss my brow,
And say, My love why sufferest thou?
Come to me in my dreams, and then
By day I shall be well again!
For so the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing of the day.
Judy Garland
"For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul."
Aristotle
"...happiness is the highest good, being a realization and perfect practice of virtue, which some can attain, while others have little or none of it..."
Allan K. Chalmers

Gail Sheehy
"If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living."
Vaclav Havel
"Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good."
Orison Swett Marden
"The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone."
Forrest Gump
"I don�t know if we each have a destiny
or if we�re all floating around all accidental like on a breeze but I think maybe it�s both. Maybe
both is happening at the same time � I miss you Jenny. If theirs anything you need I wont be far away."
