Day One Hundred and One

Way late on this one...

*A dream is a wish your heart makes,

when you're fast asleep.
In dreams you will lose your heartaches,

whatever you wish for, you keep.

Have faith in your dreams and someday

your rainbow will come smiling through.
No matter how your heart is grieving,

if you keep on believing,

The dream that you wish

will come true.*

Day One Hundred...

Note to self:  *I really need to get better at keeping up with this...*

*Trust me, it's paradise.  For mine is a generation that circles the globe in search of something we haven't tried before.  So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay your welcome.  Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience.  And if it hurts, you know what?  It's probably worth it.*

*I thought about all the people I knew who spent many of their waking hours feeling sorry for themselves.  How useful it would be to put a daily limit on self-pity.  Just a few tearful minutes, then on with the day.*

Day Ninety-Eight

*Some people spend their lives hoping for something to happen that will change everything.  They look for power or love, or the answers to their biggest questions.  I think really what they're looking for is another chance... some way to lead another life when all the mistakes they've made would be erased, and they could just start over.  Nothing bad has happened yet... and all their possibilities are still in front of them.*

*Sometimes it seems like we're all living in some kind of prison, and the crime is how much we hate ourselves.  It's good to get really dressed up once in a while and admit the truth; that when you really look closely, people are so strange and so complicated that they're actually beautiful.  Possibly even me.*

*Twent years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did.  So throw off the bowlines.  Sail away from the safe harbor.  Catch the trade winds in your sails.  Explore.  Dream.  Discover.*

*There are two kinds of people in the world;

Those who love chocolate...

and communists.*
