Growing Younger

Merry Christmas everyone!

Today is a beautiful day.

I feel so very blessed to be able to be surrounded by such a wealth of kindness. Life is so kind to me.

Everyday is full of so much joy and laughter. How can one life be so full of wonder and living? I don't know why I am so lucky.

I really truly sincerely, from-the-bottom-of-my-heart mean it.

I am the most blessed girl in the entire world.

"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
