I feel like a cliche.
Jonathan Carroll

If I don't feel like writing today or for a few days, I don't. And I don't think about it. It is not an obligation-it is the greatest privilege.

Everything you want in life has teeth.

Fear pounds on the door to our heart demanding to be let in. Joy is modest and often comes into our lives like a shy person entering a room it can take a while to even notice it's there.

I read less of everything now. With only fond memories of others' work, it will be interesting to give my own journal writing a try now.

Image
You know people don't get better as we get older- we just get more of who we are.

People are always waiting to be discovered.

Learn to wait invariably either things will change or your heart will.

Sometimes it is the smallest thing that saves us: the weather growing cold, a child's smile, and a cup of excellent coffee.
