"I am bound to praise the simple life, because I have lived it and found it good. When I depart from it, evil results follow. I love a small house, plain clothes, simple living. Many persons know the luxury of a skin bath - a plunge in the pool or the wave unhampered by clothing. That is the simple life - direct and immediate contact with things, life with the wrappings torn away - the fine house, the fine equipage, the expensive habits, all cut off. How free one feels, how good the elements taste, how close one gets to them, how they fit one's body and one's soul! To see the fire that warms you, or better yet, to cut the wood that feeds the fire that warms you; to see the spring where the water bubbles up that slakes your thirst, and to dip your pail into it; to see the beams that are the stay of your four walls, and the timbers that uphold the roof that shelters you; to be in direct and personal contact with the sources of your material life; to want no extras, no shields; to find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter; to find a quest of wild berries more satisfying that a gift of tropic fruit; to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest, or over a wild flower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life."
--John Burroughs

"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 never walk alone." ~ Audrey Hepburn
I relay for my dad, my grandma, my nana, Mr. Near, Dr. C., Ashley, and the hope that in the future, no daughter will have to hear her father say, "I have cancer." I spend my free time babysitting not just for the money, but because I love it. I talk to myself in the car. I tend to laugh at the worst possible moment. I think flannel shirts should come into style for someone other than farmers and "hicks." I think falling backwards off a 42-foot drop was one of the most trusting things I've ever had to do, but it was amazing. I truly think my parents are cool. I want to fall in love. I wear my heart on my sleeve and a cross around my neck. I wish on stars. I yell at myself when I screw up.
Yeah, that’s me. So take me as I am.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
What kind of thing is so important that it can't wait for cake?
-Emily, Gilmore Girls (possibly my favorite quote ever)
If no one spoke unless there was something to say, the human race would soon lose the power of speech

If someone went into a coma twenty years ago, and woke up today, they would think that the world had gone mad

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.
- E. B. White

Believe in Love, forsake your greed
And give away what you want to receive

So we must love while these moments are still called today, take part in the pain of this passion play, stretching our youth as we must, until we are ashes to dust, until time makes history of us.
The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost.
But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.
It's really hard to walk in a woman's shoes -- that's why you sometimes need really special shoes!
I was really happy with my results, but had a tough time kicking it in to be competitive throughout the race. Steve met me around the last 4 miles and wanted to give me a "boost" as I was not breathing or hurting like the others. I raced mostly alone with no chatting during the run. The course was amazing and the spectators and volunteers all very nice and friendly.
It was great to have Judy come up from Atlanta and she had a great time too!
