“Encouraging a child to go outside
in all weather builds resilience,
but more importantly it saves them from
spending their life merely tolerating the “bad” days
in favor of a handful of “good” ones
– a life of endless expectations and conditions
where happiness hinges on sunshine.”
~ Nicolette Sowder
“Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake
of dreaming that I am persecuted
whenever I am contradicted.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson more
“I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances, but they’re worth takin’
Lovin’ might be a mistake, but it’s worth makin’
Don’t let some Hellbent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to sellin’ out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,
I hope you dance.”
~ Lee Ann Womack
“When you look at a field of dandelions
you can either see a hundred weeds
or a thousand wishes.”
“Someday,
everything will make a perfect sense
so for now,
laugh at the confusion,
smile through the tears
and keep reminding yourself
that everything happens for a reason.”
~ Author Unknown
“He who closes his ears to the views of others
shows little confidence in the integrity of his own views.”
~ William Congreve more
“I used to think
that anyone doing anything weird was weird.
I suddenly realized
that anyone doing anything weird
wasn’t weird at all
and it was the people saying they were weird
that were weird.”
~ Paul McCartney
