" Nothing is as real as a dream.

 The world can change around you, 

but your dream will not.

 Responsibilities 

need not erase it. 

Duties

 need not obscure it. 

Because the dream 

is within you, 

no one can 

take it away. "

“Every day is

 a new opportunity. 

You can build on 

yesterday's success or 

put its failures behind 

and start over again.  -

- That's the way life is, 

with a new game 

every day, 

and that's the way 

baseball is.”

 Bob Feller 

 (American Baseball Player)

" Common sense 

and a sense of humor

 are the same thing, 

moving at different speeds. -

Beep!  Beep!

- A sense of humor

 is just common sense, 

dancing. "

New Day


“ You can become blind
 by seeing each day
as a similar one.

Each day is a
different one, 
each day brings 
a miracle of its own. 

It's just a matter of 
paying attention 
to this miracle.” 

Paulo Coelho

" All the way
 to
Heaven'
is 
Heaven. "

Peaceful Warriors

A   L   O   H   A !

" Peaceful Warriors 

have the patience to wait

 until the mud settles 

and the water clears. -

" They remain unmoving 

until the right time,

 so the right action 

arises by itself. -

 They do not seek 

fulfillment,

 but wait 

with open arms

 to welcome 

all things. " 

Dan Millman 

" We all have the power 
to choose
 how we are going to
 handle every situation 
we are faced with 
throughout our lives. 
We are in control 
of the decision we make "

Jennifer Hudson,
