“To live content with small means;

to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion;

to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy not rich;

to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly…to listen to stars and buds, to babes and sages, with open heart;

await occasions, hurry never…this is my symphony.”

–William Henry Channing

Came across this, and really liked it:

Today, I will live honorably through my thoughts, actions and speech. I choose to be full of faith; I will not only be a hearer, but a doer of the Word of God. I will serve before I demand, I will love and not hate, and I will give before I take. Today, I choose to make a difference in this world and to be a part of something bigger than myself. I choose to dedicate my life to prayer and ask God for his miraculous power and the courage to do the impossible. I will make Godly relatioships a priority in my life as I esteem others higher than myself. Today, I will live my life in such a way that I will Change the World.

The one you feed

A legend of an old Cherokee Indian and his grandson:

One evening, an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.   He said, “My son, the battle is between two ‘wolves’ inside us all. One is Evil – It is anger, envy, jealousy, greed, and arrogance. The other is Good – It is peace, love, hope, humility, compassion, and faith. ”  The grandson thought about this for a while and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf wins?”   To which the old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

I Carry My Heart

I also came across this poem through my email, and just remember how awesome my friends are:

This is my favorite cummings poem. I hope you feel better and remember! I’m here if you need me
i carry your heart with me
by e.e. cummings

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

Will

Smile

I absolutely adore this song:

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it’s breaking
Though there are clouds in the sky, you’ll get by
If you smile through your fears and sorrows
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what’s the use of crying?
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

I am
