never be bullied into silence. never allow yourself to be made a victim. accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself.

Not Broken Just Bent
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love.
It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person.

Impossible is Nothing
Impossible is just a small word that is thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in a world they've been given to explore the power they have, to change it.
Impossible is not a fact.
It is an opinion.
Impossible is not a declaration.
It is a dare.
Impossible is potential.
Impossible is temporary.
Impossible is not a fact.
It is an opinion.
Impossible is not a declaration.
It is a dare.
Impossible is potential.
Impossible is temporary.
Impossible is nothing!

Laugh Often
Laugh often and it will cleanse your mind.
Laugh often at yourself and it will cleanse your heart.
Though we often seem to forget natural remedies to life, one of the best ways to clean our hearts, and purge our thoughts, is to laugh as often as possible.
A little known fact about a smile is how much harder it is to frown than smile.
When you smile you use less energy and less effort than you do when you frown, and this is symbolic of what happens in everyday life as well.
When you go through life, in a celebratory fashion, with passion, motivation, drive, happiness, and a kind attitude, you will find that life is much less stressful than if you chose to go through life in a negative fashion.
Instead of giving your focus to the negative, make a mission to be as positive as possible each day.
Make a pledge to laugh often, so that your mind will be as free as it may possibly be.

Pizza Love
People use the word 'love' a lot of different ways.
Take me, for instance. I am often heard saying that I love my husband and kids.
I am also often heard saying that I love pizza.
What am I saying when I say I love my husband and kids?
I'm saying that I care about them.
I'm saying that I love spending time with them.
I'm saying that if they needed me, I would do every humanly possible to help them.
I'm saying that I always want what's best for them.
What am I saying when I say I love pizza?
Am I saying that I care deeply about pizza?
Am I saying that I have a relationship with pizza?
Am I saying that if pizza had a problem, I would be there for the pizza? (What? Not enough pepperoni? I'll be right there!)
Of course not.
When I say I love pizza, I'm just saying that I enjoy eating pizza until I don't want any more pizza.
Once I'm tired of the pizza, I don't care what happens to the rest of it.
I'll throw it away.
I'll feed it to the dog.
I'll stick it in the back of the refrigerator until it gets all green and moldy.
It doesn't matter to me anymore.
These are two very different definition of the word 'love'.
It gets confusing when people start talking about love, and especially about loving you.
Which way do these people love you?
Do they want what is best for you, or do they just want you around because it is good for them, and they don't really care what happens to you?
Next time someone looks deeply into your eyes and says 'I love you', look very deeply right back and say, 'Would that be pizza love, or the real thing?"
