ive been quite consumed with finding inspiration to carry me from day to day lately. new things on the list now are:
- attempting to wake up early on a daily basis, and tomorrow is the beginning! buffet breakfast with blockmates at
something fishy! am so excited.
- attempting to put together the tuesday/thursday breakfast club. whoever wants to go!
- reading new books on the side of the piles of photocopied stuff. i might as well since i havent been doing the
reading anyway. perhaps relearning the art of cramming will permit me the occasional goodie book
- attempting to find some form of sport. perhaps in the weeks to come i will come across someone who WILL
want to learn how to rollerblade with me at the circle on saturday mornings. or get a good tennis instructor.
anyone?
in my search for inspiration came upon these quotes which i hope will inspire you too.
------------------------------------
After awhile you learn
the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul
and you learn that love doesn't mean possession
and company doesn't mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises and you begin to accept
your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead
with the grace of an adult not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build your roads today
because tomorrow'w ground is too uncertain for plans
and futures have ways of falling down in mid-flight.
And after awhile you learn that even sunshine
burns if you get too much so you plant your
own garden and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure
that you really are strong
and you really do have worth
and you learn
and you learn...
