1. Everyday is a blank page – to begin a new chapter, to change directions in the middle of a story already begun, to record a moment, no matter how brief, where life made sense, and all was right with the world.

2. Acceptance …of self, of circumstances, of others. Acceptance without judgment is the key to happiness.

3. Funny, isn't it, these days that pass simply and quietly with out making waves…They are blessings to be appreciated for the richness of their simplicity.

4. Let go of perfection, of striving to be flawless. Let go of the woman you always thought you ought to be, and fall in love with the wonderful woman you are.

5. So you made a mistake. It isn't the end of the world. You will never be a perfect human being, but learning from mistakes makes you perfectly human.

6. It is not what you have that makes you wealthy; it is what you give away.

7. If only we loved ourselves as unconditionally as we do those around us, with acceptance, with a sense of humor, of forgiveness of the past and hope for the future, with respect and appreciation for what is rather than frustration and sorrow for what is not.

8. Tomorrow, with gratitude for all that has been and all that is yet to be, I will greet you like a friend, with open arms and a genuine “I'm so glad to see you” smile.

9. A wise person once wrote that nothing is so beautiful or so horrible that it lasts forever. Cherish the beauty. Mourn the loss. Live in the present. Work for the future. There is no more, no less to life.
