"Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these." -Susan B. Anthony

"Every man builds his world in his own image. He has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice." -Ayn Rand

Bumps, bruises, scrapes, cuts, aches & blisters
Typhoons, monsoons, earthquakes & twisters
It's the picture my life fits in
My whirlwind rotates, elevates & transcends
Watch me shine in the streets like some fresh new rims
Watch my enemies retreat as I collect my wins
Every 25,000 I start over again
To renew my history so skip repenting my sins
Here's some words of advice you can share wit cha friends
-C. Woolridge

Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time.
- Jean Paul Richter

"The more expectations you have, the less gratitude you will have." ~ Dennis Prager

“I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.” - Anais Nin
