"maybe there's a season when i'll taste that wine
a thimble at a time
a thimble full of wine"
- hummingbird by the weepies
In time, things will come.  Maybe I would like to experience something now, but those little tastes of it, when it comes...they will be perfect :).  Just gotta wait. 

"man should forget his anger
before he lies down to sleep"
- mahatma ghandi
I have heard several times, that you shouldn't go to sleep angry.  I believe that so much.  Sometimes I go to sleep feeling upset, and I never feel as rested or satisfied when I awake from those sleeps.  

"even a soul submerged in sleep
is hard at work and helps
makes something of the world"
- heraclitus
This reminds me of tests.  No matter how much I want to stay up and study and stuff facts into my brain, that sweet sleeping hour is what really strengthens my ability to reason and ace any test.  

"a tiger doesn't lose sleep
over the opinion of sheep"
- unknown
If you believe in yourself, and really value yourself, then nothing else matters.  The opinions of others, the things people may think or say...they don't mean a darn thing if you're living right..according to yourself :) ahhh feels good

"thousands of candles can be lit
from a single candle,
and the life of the candle
will not be shortened.
Happiness never decreases
by being shared."

I love this one.  It's rings so truly in life.  Moments of shared happiness are the best ones, they are filled with positivity and enrich my life to the fullest it can be.  

"let yourself be silently drawn
by the strange pull of what you really
love.
it will not lead you astray"

"making the simple complicated
is commonplace
making the complicated simple,
awesomely simple,
that's creativity"
- charles mingus
I find the greatest moments in my life have been when I'm accidentally creative.  When I created something in a moment with no pre-planned ideas or notions in my head.  

"all this nothing has meant more
to me than so many things"
- kathleen kelly (you've got mail)
Sometimes things are just things and the moments of relaxation and contemplation are most meaningful.  

"we do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals
that deep inside us, something is valuable, worth listening to,
worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch.  once we believe in
ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight,
or any experience that reveals the human spirit"
- e. e. cummings
My parents are all in this quote.  They have given me the biggest sense of purpose.  I cannot count the times that they have helped me remember my worth...because of them, I have more self confidence, respect and love.  So wonderful :)
