Then you can get up and laugh... -- Galway Kinnell We have no right to ask, when sorrow comes, Why did this happen to me? unless we ask the same question for every joy that comes our way. -- Philip S. Bernstein Happiness is not a place to travel to. It's a way of getting there. -- Anonymous What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. -- Anonymous "How lucky I am to have known someone who was so hard to say goodbye to."

Spawn Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 "Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense." -Ralph Waldo Emerson “All that we are is the result of what we have thought.The mind is everything. What we think we become.” -Buddha Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no ones definition of your life; define yourself." -Harvey Fierstein "Maturity is when you finally take responsibility for yourself by first starting to do something for others that doesn't involve doing it for youself." - Max Harris-Janz Link to comment

Tropigal30 Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 I think it's more the tune of this one that cheers me up - crank it real loud on your stereo and dance around naked - so liberating !!
