The Key

I have tossed away the key; I don't want it anymore. For to have possession of it brings too much pain and saddness.  Where does this key now rest, you may wonder? It rests somewhere on the floor of the vast Pacific Ocean. 

But, a glimmer of hope always exists! 

Any brave soul interested in this priceless key, is welcome to explore the deep blue. If found, you have the key to my heart.

I didn't find My Spark- I found my Jet Engine, Baby

I am so freakin excited!!  I had the absolute best time swimming in my entire life!   I went snorkel practicing again, shallow end first and then went deep length wise many times back and forth. Toss in my Amazon Turbo Ninja kick just for fun, and I was smokin. 

I did the dolphin, frog kick, breast and crawl stroke too without the snorkel.  My instructor said my arms are so much stronger since my last lesson. Whoo Hoo. All my hard work is paying off!   Olympics here I come!   

Have you figured out that I'm just a tad bit excited?

PHILOSOPHY OF A FLOWER - not my work

PHILOSOPHY OF A FLOWER

We never get what we want,
We never want what we get,
We never have what we like,
We never like what we have.
And still we live & love.
That's life...

The best kind of friend,
Is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with,
Never say a word,

And then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

It's true that we don't know

What we've got until it's gone,
But it's also true that we don't know
What we've been missing until it arrives..

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back!

Don't expect love in return;
Just wait for it to grow in their heart,
But if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,

An hour to like someone,
And a day to love someone,
But it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile,
Because it takes only a smile to
Make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile!

May you have

Enough happiness to make you sweet,
Enough trials to make you strong,
Enough sorrow to keep you human,
And enough hope to make you happy.

Put yourself in others' shoes.

If you feel that it hurts you,

It probably hurts the other person, too.

                                                             The happiest of people
                                               Don't necessarily have the best of everything;
                              They just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
                                                               Happiness lies for
                                                                 Those who cry,
                                                                Those who hurt,
                                                        Those who have searched,
                                                        And those who have tried,
                                    For only they can appreciate the importance of people
                                                    Who have touched their lives.

When you were born, you were crying
And everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die,
You're the one who is smiling
And everyone around you is crying.
