"Accept - then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. This will miraculously transform your whole life." - Eckhart Tolle

“There are random moments - tossing a salad, coming up the driveway to the house, ironing the seams flat on a quilt square, standing at the kitchen window and looking out at the delphiniums, hearing a burst of laughter from one of my children's rooms - when I feel a wavelike rush of joy. This is my true religion: arbitrary moments of of nearly painful happiness for a life I feel privileged to lead.”

― Elizabeth Berg, The Art of Mending

“Study the science of art. Study the art of science. Develop your senses- especially learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.” 
― Leonardo da Vinci

"Love what is ahead by loving what has come before." -Yogi Bhajan.

A kind word is like a Spring day. - Russian Proverb

Worry is a misuse of imagination.  ~Dan Zadra

If I had my life to live over, I would perhaps have more actual troubles but I'd have fewer imaginary ones.  ~Don Herold
