want sometimes my-sisters-keeper
Sometimes to get what you want the most, you have to do what you want the least.
love mothers-day beautiful
My mother... she is beautiful, softened at the edges and tempered with a spine of steel. I want to grow old and be like her.
memories mistake sight
Mistakes are like the memories you hide in an attic: old love letters from relationships that tanked, photos of dead relatives, toys from a childhood you miss. Out of sight is out of mind, but somewhere deep inside you know they still exist. And you also know that you're avoiding them.
believe bamboo firsts
The human capacity for burden is like bamboo- far more flexible than you'd ever believe at first glance.
mistake perfect way
Maybe you expected marriage to be perfect - I guess that's where you and I are different. See, I thought it would be all about making mistakes, but doing it with someone who's there to remind you what you learned along the way.
memories language-of-love language
For better or for worse, music is the language of memory. It is also the language of love.
mother father love-you
No matter what Joe Hoffman and Wade Preston say, it's not gender that makes a family; it's love. You don't need a mother and a father; you don't necessarily even need two parents. You just need someone who's got your back.
children decision parent
Tradionally, parents made decisions for a child, because presumably they are looking out for his or her best interests. But if they are blinded, instead, by the best interests of another one of their children, the system breaks down.
morning pieces world
Imagine a world that seemed so much bigger than you. Imagine waking up one morning and finding a piece of yourself you didn't even know existed.
forget worried celebrate
Life can change in an instant; don't be so worried about the future that you forget to celebrate what you have right now.
sweet sweet-love important
You know someone's right for you when the things they don't have to say are even more important than the things they do.
happiness reality two
There are two ways to be happy: improve your reality, or lower your expectations.
christian letting-go jesus
You know, Sage, Jesus didn't tell us to forgive everyone. He said turn the other cheek, but only if you the one who was hit. Even the Lord's Prayer says it loud and clear: Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Not others. What Jesus challenges us to do is to let go of the wrong done to you personally, not the wrong done to someone else. But most Christians incorrectly assume that this means that being a good christian means forgiving all sins, and the sinners.
communication faces facts
I don't know what it is about death that makes it so hard. I suppose it's the one-sided communication; the fact that we never get to ask our loved one if she suffered, if she is happy wherever she is now...if she is somewhere. It's the question mark that comes with death that we can't face, not the period.
