A few thoughts for the day...

[Brutuskend]

Don't cry because its over,
smile because it happened.



Pain and Suffering is inevitable but Misery is optional.



Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, Today is a gift.
That's why it's called: The Present.



A good exercise for the heart is to bend down and help another up.



Life is what you make of it...
kinda like Play-Doh



The bubbling brook would lose its song if you removed the rocks.



Happiness comes through doors you didn't even know you left open.



Everything is always okay in the end, if it's not, then it's not the end.



If all my friends jumped off a cliff, I wouldn't jump with them.
I would be at the bottom to catch them.



A girl on the street is pointing up at the sky.
'Look an Angel!' she yells.
Passerby laugh, 'You fool, that is only a cloud.'
How wonderful it would be to see Angels where there are are only clouds. How sad it would be to see clouds where there are Angels.



Here is a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished:
If you're alive, it isn't.

And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

Some of you say, "Joy is greater than sorrow," and others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater."

But I say unto you, they are inseparable.

Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.

Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy.

Only when you are empty are you at standstill and balanced.

When the treasure-keeper lifts you to weigh his gold and his silver, needs must your joy or your sorrow rise or fal

The utensil drawer has not utensils inside it, but tools of knowledge: You must feed yourself in life.

Thus, we come to the conclusion:

There is no spoon.
