With the past, I have nothing to do; nor with the future. I live now. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

What a week or two. Weddings. Tan lines. Airports, lots of airports. Baseball games. And most importantly life.

 Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail.
-Og Mandino

"I don't know why I'm scared, 

I've been here before, 

Every feeling, every word, 

I've imagined it all, 

You'll never know if you never try, 

To forgive your past and simply be mine..."

"The one and only" by Adele

"The first step... shall be to lose the way." -Galway Kinnell

"Do not take life too seriously.  You will never get out of it alive."  

~Elbert Hubbard

 My whole life is waiting for the questions to which I have prepared answers.  

~Tom Stoppard

 "Art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind." -Unknown

“Remembering you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.” 
~ Steve Jobs

"God put us here, on this carnival ride. We close our eyes never knowing where it'll take us next." 

— Carrie Underwood 

“One has to live in the present. Whatever is past is gone beyond recall; whatever is future remains beyond one’s reach, until it becomes present. Remembering the past and giving thought to the future are important, but only to the extent that they help one deal with the present.” – S.N. Goenka
