Quotes

I have this "Promises" flip calendar that for every day there is a quote. It's really neat and a lot of the time there are some really inspiring one's. So I'm going to share them with you.

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart."--Helen Keller

"Be beautiful inside,in your hearts with the lasting charm of a gentle and quiet spirit which is so precious to God."---1 Peter 3:4

"Blossoms are scattered by the wind and the wind cares nothing, but the blossoms of the heart no wind can touch."---Yoshida Kenko

Live your life while you have it. Life is a splendid gift----there is nothing small about it."---Florence Nightingale

The secret of life is that all we have and are is a gift of grace to be shared.---Lloyd John Ogilvie

While I was writing that, I was thinking about all the great quotes I've read in the past few months, and I was thinking about how often I find one that I really want to share, so I'm going to do that. So you might see a few quotes on this blog. I think that quotes are cool, said by some very cool people. Lol, whatever that last thought on coolness was I don't really know. Oh well.
Blog later,

In the Middle..But Alone.

Do you ever sit there in the the middle of a huge group but feel totally out of it and lonely?
You sit there as coversations swirl around you. You hear things that make no sense at all and you hear things that you really didn't want to hear. You just sit there trying to think things through Hoping that at some point you will maybe "get" what's being said, or be included in a conversation. You sit there, silent. No one can read your facial expressions, or your mind, You sit with a blank look on your face thinking, praying. Feeling alone. I have defientely felt that and more than once. I just sit there wishing the time away, trying to feel a part of it but failing. I sit there feeling alone, feeling out of it.
Include people in your conversation's, you have no idea when you have just made someone's day, simply by including them in your conversation. People have done it to me and usually I feel a little better right away. Reach out, that's the key.

Peace,
Kathleen

we use the word "love" way too much

I'm going to share something that I've been thinking about for the last few months.
We use the word "love" way too much. I mean way too much! We say we love this and we love that. But do we really mean it, do we? How can we say we love a shirt we just got or we love this movie or that song we heard and then we turn around and say we love our parents and our friends and at the top of the list, we love God. I know it is a different love but still, how can we say it. So next time you go to say you love your friend's shirt or anything along those lines, think again, do you really love it or is it just a phrase we use to because it's easy and it's a way express our feelings. A good alternative is saying "I really like that....."I have really tried to stop myself from saying that I love something , but it's hard, it really is, becasue once you start saying something, no matter what it is, it's hard to stop.
Love,

Kathleen
