Quotes I like ...

"Destiny is not a matter of chance, 
it is a matter of choice; 
it is not a thing to be waited for, 
it is a thing to be achieved."
Winston Churchill


"The measure of love is to love without measure." 
Saint Augustine


"Listen to your heart. Because, wherever your heart is, that
is where you'll find your treasure." 
Paulo Coelho


"Act mindfully. Accept entirely. Move strongly. Think softly.
Speak beautifully. Live simply. Love completely." 
Anon


"The soul would have no rainbow, had the eye no tears." 
Unknown


‎"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway."
Mother Theresa

Ever have one of those days???

... It's ALWAYS the "little things" ...

Multiply it by infinity, and take it to the depth of forever ...

"MEET JOE BLACK" ~ One of my favorite movies ... True, beautiful sentiments ... one could only be so lucky as to actually be thought of in such a way ... a rare gift to cherish and treasure always...

Susan Parrish: Love, passion, obsession, all those things you told me to wait for, well, they've arrived. What are you afraid of, Dad? That I'll fall head over heels for Joe? Well, I have. 

Joe Black: I don't care Bill. I love her. 

William Parrish: How perfect for you - to take whatever you want because it pleases you. That's not love. 

Joe Black: Then what is it? 

William Parrish: Some aimless infatuation which, for the moment, you feel like indulging - it's missing everything that matters. 
Joe Black: Which is what? 
William Parrish: Trust, responsibility, taking the weight for your choices and feelings, and spending the rest of your life living up to them. And above all, not hurting the object of your love. 

Joe Black: So that's what love is according to William Parrish? 

William Parrish: Multiply it by infinity, and take it to the depth of forever, and you will still have barely a glimpse of what I'm talking about. 
Joe Black: Those were my words. 
William Parrish: They're mine now. 

William Parrish: I loved Susan from the moment she was born, and I love her now and every minute in between. And what I dream of is a man who will discover her, and that she will discover a man who will love her, who is worthy of her, who is of this world, this time and has the grace, compassion, and fortitude to walk beside her as she makes her way through this beautiful thing called life. Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived.

FAT DOG WILLY

It's been a rough few days @ the Turk house ... FAT DOG (Willy) isn't feeling too well. He had to go to the E. R. Vet on Sunday morning for lower back & hip pain. A follow-up Monday morning with his Dr. confirmed he is suffering from degenerative disk ailments and hip dysphasia. In other words, he wobbles when he tries to walk, his little back legs buckle and he falls. He can't even squat to potty! BLESS HIM!
I've ordered him a brace and prayed for him ... but he is uncomfortable.
The pain meds and anti-inflammatory pills help; he just can't move around ~ he stays on his little bed unless I carry him outside. It's sooooo sad!
Lucky for him; however, because his two "BFF's" are with him! (By "BFF" I mean Best Furry Friends!!) They are watching over him and keeping him company during the day while I'm at work.
I love that FAT DOG! and, no matter what kind of mood I'm in, how I look, or if I stink from the gym ... He loves me right back ~ unconditionally!
If only more humans were capable of that type of WHOLE HEARTED love.
I sure hope this brace helps because surgery isn't an option and I can't stand the thought of him being in pain and not being able to play! That's no way to be ... that is just "existing" and he is too sweet and precious and special not to really LIVE!
"FAT DOG, FAT DOG ~ HISTORY OF THE WORLD ... MOMMA LOVES YOU!!!"

My booty's worst nightmare! This teensy little bitty egg!!!

Seriously... some people

Needed a sweet tea to take with my Goody powder this morning. Ordered @ Mickey D's and was waiting to pull forward, when I hear the man in the car behind me yell "IDIOT, MOVE THE CAR FOWARD SO I CAN ORDER!" Seriously!! Jesus must have been waiting on HIM @ church! LOL! I can only assume that he was stupid, rude, AND blind because I don't know where he expected me to go other than ON TOP OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME! I am so thankful I can laugh ... he needs the sweet tea more than I do!

WORDS FROM THE HEART OF A FRIEND

"...You are valueable. You have to know it and not allow anyone to treat you any other way or they are dismissed. It is an attitude or a belief system you put into place and don't settle for less. People who treat you the way you deserve. It starts with you. Not an option; a priority. Love isn't a competition..."
