Take me to a place where doors are open
A lovely little place where no one's broken
 - Thousand Foot Krutch

Let's Celebrate

the moments
where nothing happens.
The moments
that fill our lives.
Not the field bright with poppies, but
the times you walked, seeing
no leaves, no sky, only one foot
after another.

We are sleeping
(it's not midnight and
there is no dream).
We enter a room - no one is in it.
We run a tap,
queue to buy a stamp.

These are the straw moments
that give substance
to our astonishments;
moments the homesick dream of;
the bereaved, the diagnosed.

- Mandy Coe

All I can do is be me, who ever that is.

Don’t wish me happiness. I don’t expect to be happy all the time… It’s gotten beyond that somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor. I will need them all.
- Anne Morrow Lindbergh

You are every wish
on every star in every
sky for me tonight.

- Tyler Knott Gregson

Do me a favor… Stand up, walk to wherever the nearest window is, and just look outside. You may not know this, but there’s an entire planets-worth of summers, friends, sunsets, street lamps, songs, late nights, great films, and night skies waiting for you. Your life is as amazing as you want it to be, but first, you have to let it be that way. 

- Chad Sugg

Drag your thoughts away from your troubles...by the ears, by the heels, or any other way you can manage it.
- Mark Twain

You cannot leave everything to fate, boy. She's got a lot to do, sometimes you must give her a hand. 

- Ever After

May you be poor in misfortune
Rich in blessings
Slow to make enemies
Quick to make friends
And may you know nothing but happiness.
- Blessing

Can you make yourself love? Can you make yourself be loved?
- Lena Kaligaris, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

Love is like war: Easy to begin, hard to end.
- Proverb

When life hands you lemons, say "Oh yeah? I like lemons. What else ya got?"
- Henry Rollins

Wish for what you want; work for what you need.
