“I believe we write our own stories. And each time we think we know the end, we don’t. Perhaps luck exists somewhere between the world of planning, the world of chance, and in the peace that comes from knowing that you just can’t know it all.
Life’s funny that way – once you let go of the wheel, you might end up right where you belong.”
– Melissa Carter, Little Black Book
Fall is Spring reborn
Leaves change color, flowers bloom
Cherry blossoms fall
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.”
– J. W. von Goethe
My Father sent me this quote and I keep it on my freezer, where I see it every day. The effect started manifesting a few weeks ago and is growing. It is exciting, amazing, uncanny, and scary all at the same time, like sitting in the front car on the rollercoaster of life just before it crests the peak of the biggest, most thrilling drop: You can’t see what’s coming, but you know it’s going to be a great ride!
So please make sure your seatbelts are fastened, seat backs are up, and your tray stowed in the upright and locked position. We’re about to begin our descent into a whole new world…
Whee! 😀
