Heighten

Can you spend the next five minutes thinking of 25 reasons to be grateful? Sure you can.

Sometimes

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

- Marilyn Monroe

Everything

Nothing happens, nothing happens, nothing happens, and then everything happens.

- Fay Weldon

I am the type of person who always seems to be busy. In fact, I tend to operate best when I have more than a reasonable amount on my plate. Most of the time, when I find myself with not a lot going on, I am able to take full advantage by tackling a creative project that has been gnawing at me. But occasionally, the downtime can turn into confusion, uncertainty, or worse, boredom. When I find myself flirting with the dreaded boredom, I have to remind myself of this little Fay Weldon quote, it is so true.

Form

The art of living does not consist in preserving and clinging to a particular mode of happiness, but in allowing happiness to change its form without being disappointed by the change. Happiness, like a child, must be allowed to grow up.
- Charles L. Morgan

Blessing

What I’m looking for is a blessing that’s not in disguise.
- Kitty O’Neill Collins

Full

We tend to forget that happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.
-Frederick Keonig

Safe

A ship in harbor is safe-but that is not what ships are built for.
- John Shedd

When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability... To be alive is to be vulnerable.
-Madeleine L'Engle
