Take time to smell the flowers,

                             watch the leaves of the trees.

Let go.

"I hold it true, whatever befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." - Alfred, Lord Tennyson

...the hell, I'll care if I want to, I'll be sweet if I want to, so sue me.

What we do does not define who we are,
It's how well we rise from the fall that matters.

My youngest sister will be having her senior prom in few weeks time.  Their theme is royalties and I am tasked of 'researching' styles for her prom dress.  While doing so, I stumbled upon the life of Princess Alexandra of Denmark. 

Her story was a fairy tale in the making. [Read more.] But recently took a different happily-ever-after ending (hopefully this time a sure happy ending). [Read more.]  Below is a picture of her with fiance Martin Joergensen, who is 15 years younger but absolutely stunning.

Stories like these leave me sighing and foolishly holding on to promises that fairy tales do happen...and that prince charmings can indeed come in packages like Martin Joergensen. 

Start wanting what you have. 
Quit wanting what you can't have.

The Lord is my Pacesetter,
I will not rush.
...Nor will I not let the bad guys rush me.

Breathe in, breathe out. Eat mango crepe. Read a magazine. Play a PC game.
Work is work. It's not my life. I love my life. I'll live my life.

When faith grows weak
And doubts arise
Recall God's love and tender care.
Be reminded of all He has done
And all those times
He answered your prayers.
