Murder in a Time Before Google

I suspect that a great part of the healing that comes after losing someone you love lies not only in the stories that we tell after they’re gone, but also in how we choose to tell them.

Fahrenheit 451

'Stuff your eyes with wonder,' he said 'live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. Ask no guarantees, ask for no security, there never was such an animal. And if there were, it would be related to the great sloth which hangs upside down in a tree all day every day, sleeping it's life away. To hell with that' he said, 'shake the tree and knock the great sloth down on his ass.'

Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury

Take All the Time You Need

Love and Other Drugs

"But there are good things. You have to understand that you're still yourself. You're still there and life goes on and life is beautiful."

- "Love and Other Drugs"

I.Q.

“I believe everything will turn out fine. Because I would rather be an optimist and a fool then a pessimist and right.”

Love the One You Hold

Love What You Love

I've seen this written as "live what you love". Which just seems silly to me. If I need to be reminded to love what I do then I need more help than a simple saying can give me. I prefer the permission to love whatever I love. I'm sick of feeling guilty for loving my dead husband. Sick of feeling guilty for loving to buy expensive shoes and then walking around barefooted a majority of the time. Sick of feeling guilty for being wise in choosing who to love. I love what I love. You can love what you love. And guilt doesn't belong anywhere near that love. 

You Become What You Believe

Keep me...

Take A Deep Breath

As I deal with a home catastrophe involving a huge tree that fell on the house, I remind myself to...

 

You are what you love...

Every Day

My best friend...

I am...
