Growing Younger

Friday, May 29, 2009

Today was the last day of High school. I am so amazed at all the people who have had such an impact on my life. Everyone has touched my life in some way or another. There are many things I will not miss, such as the cafeteria food, swearing, PDA, slackers and drama. But high school has been a place where I have changed into the person I am today. Thank you to all those who have affected me. Without you I would still be the extremely shy, unsophisticated, nerdy freshman. Now I can go forward with new experiences and people to back me up. This coming Freshman year is going to rock! :) I will miss intense discussions, learning from teachers like Strom, Acker and Magee, my choir family and my friends. Please know that I love you all dearly in my own way. I may not always show it, but I do sincerely love you. My heart is so full of all the memories and love we share. I will miss you, but know that you will always be a part of me. You will always be in my heart.

"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony." --Gandhi

"If we only wanted to be happy, it would be easy; but we want to be happier than other people, and that is almost always difficult, since we think them happier than they are." ~Charles de Montesquieu

"There are some days when I think I'm going to die from an overdose of satisfaction." ~Salvador Dali

"Be one who nurtures and who builds. Be one who has an understanding and a forgiving heart, who looks for the best in people. Leave people better than you found them." ~Marvin J Ashton

"For love, for the sake of love, will always be enough. And if our lives are but a single flash in the dark hollow of eternity, then, if, but for the briefest of moments, we shine--then how brilliantly our light has burned. And as the starlight knows no boundary of space or time, so, too, our illumination will shine forth throughout all eternity, for darkness has no power to quell such light. And this is a lesson we must all learn and take to heart--That all light is eternal and all is love is light." ~Richard Paul Evans

“The commandment given by the Savior was to love others and yourself. Am I secure enough in my love of myself to laugh at myself, to admit mistakes, to graciously accept a compliment? Am I secure in my love of others to smile and say hello to a perfect stranger?” ~James E. Faust

"I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought and that gratitude is happiness doubled with wonder." ~G.K. Chesterton

"Indeed, the more we find to love, the more we add to the measure of our hearts." ~Lloyd Alexander

"Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." ~ C.S. Lewis

"Everything I understand, I understand only because I love." ~Tolstoy
