Everyday I pick a couple of quotes to live by for that particular day. Some have to do with positive thinking or love, or just funny. Here are a few that I chose for today:

"The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved, loved for ourselves, or rather loved in spite of ourselves". Victor Hugo

"You have achieved success if you have lived well, laughed often and loved much." - Author Unknown

"Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end."- Scott Adams

Life is a struggle and a challenge at times. Sometimes when I lay awake in bed and sleep is eluding me, I think back over the last year and the experience's I've been blessed with. I feel fortunate to have these challenges so that I can grow and learn. There are times when I feel very alone and it's hard to come home to an empty house. I try to stay positve and look for the pro's and con's of the situation. Don't get me wrong, I have my struggles and my bad days where I just want to pull the covers over my head and sleep until things get better. Alas, I know hiding from my problems doesnt solve or make anything better.

I know the person I want to be and am diligently searching out those things that will help me gain the insight and experiences to be the great person, mother, friend and eventually companion to some one who loves me for me flaws and all.
