Reflections
Finding Peace
By Mona Lease

"If you cannot find peace within yourself, you will never find it anywhere else." - Marvin Gaye

Dear Optimist, Pessimist, and Realist: While you were arguing about the glass of water, I drank it. Sincerely, the Opportunist. - Sexy Bipolar Broads

Ray and Bob, two government maintenance guys, were standing at the base of a flagpole. A woman walked over and asked what they were doing. "We're supposed to find the height of the flagpole," said Bob. "But we don't have a ladder." The woman said, "Hand me that wrench out of your toolbox." She loosened a few bolts and then laid the flagpole down. She then took a tape measure from their toolbox , took measurements and announced, "Eighteen feet, six inches" and walked away. Ray shook his head and laughed. "Well, ain't that just like a "Miss-know-it-all" woman?" he asked. "We need height and she gives us length." Ray and Bob are still working for the government. But now they're congressmen. - Queen Rowdy Red

You will be too much for some people. Those aren't your people. - Soul Science

Lord, give me coffee to change the things I can...and music to accept the things I can't. - Raymond Yee

To thrive in life you need three bones: A wishbone, a backbone, and a funny bone. - Reba McEntire

When people are intimidated by your strength and happiness, they'll try to tear you down, and break your spirit. Remember, it's a reflection of their weakness, and not a reflection of you. - Peace, Love, and Everything Else

Sometimes God closes doors because it's time to move forward. He knows you won't move unless He moves your circumstances for you. Trust God, always. - Faith Panda

You'll never understand it until it happens to you. - Halos and Horns Fun Page

"A free people ought not only be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a state of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them. Which would include their own government." - George Washington (Notice the word "disciplined")

As far as I can see, grief will never truly end. It may become softer over time, more gentle, and some days will feel sharp. But, grief will last as long as love does..forever. It's simply the way the absence of your loved one manifests in your heart. A deep longing accompanied by the deepest love. Some days the heavy fog may return, and the next day, it may recede once again. It's all an ebb and flow, a constant dance of sorrow, joy, pain, and sweet love. - Scribbles and Crumbs

Dance before the music is over. Live before your life is over. - Hippie Zenlighten
