LIFE: to want, to have, and to do.

Lately I've been so so enamored with life and the blessings that God has blessed me with. My mind is constantly taking in the overwhelming beauty of the world around me. I am most richly blessed and I know that am privileged to wake the mornings I wake and to rest the nights I rest. Our Lives...Our Time...Our Families...Our Friends...Our Possessions, they are all gifts, given to us by a Mighty and Loving God. But the gifts given to us by God are more then just simple givings...it's what we do with these gifts, how we spend these gifts that determine the life we lead. We want, We have, We do....Life!!! What defines yours?

Below are some quotes that help put my daily life into perspective. Let me know what think, how you feel and share some of your favorite quotes with me if you'd like...

• "For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you'll never walk alone."
~ Audrey Hepburn

• "It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinions; it is easy in solitude to live after your own;

keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude."

• "Learning is like rowing upstream:
not to advance is to drop back."

actively becomes the answer."

• "There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth - not going all the way and not starting."

• "People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
... Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
... Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
... Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
... Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
... Build anyway."
~ Mother Teresa's prayers
