Father Joe Nolan

A simple quote with great meaning!

It was quite a party as we celebrated at Belmont Park Race Track and had a race named in his named in his honor (The Joralemon Street Gallup ~ he was born on Joralemon Street in Brooklyn). The quote is the way he began all his homilies.

A Recycle Quote of the Week Classic...
Live Everything
"I want to beg you, as much as I can, to be patient toward all that is unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue.
Do not seek the answers, which cannot be given to you because you would not be able to live them.
And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer."
Rainer Maria Rilke

It is graduation month in the US and it marks a big step in a student's life. This week's quote is an excerpt from a Commencement Speech given by Dr. Randy Pausch, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was told in Aug 2007 that he only had 3-6 months to live. When he gave this speech at Carnegie Mellon, it was the 9th month (May 2008). He later passed away 2 months after that.

“We don’t beat the reaper by living longer. We beat the reaper by living well and living fully. For the reaper is always going to come for all of us. The question is: What do we do between the time we are born, and the time he shows up? Because when he shows up, it’s too late to do all the things that you’re always gona, kinda get around to.”
Randy Pausch

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind, wanting to start again? Or, do you ever feel, feel so paper thin like a house of cards, one blow from caving in? If so, then this week's quote is for you!!!!
It is part of the lyrics of one of my favorite jogging songs and it helps me from feeling like a waste of space and reminds me that I am an original, that cannot be replaced!!

"You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July'
Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through"
Katy Perry; "Firework"
__________
A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic...
You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes you will
That you're beautiful as you feel.
Carole King; "Beautiful"

Welcome to the Quote of the Week! Your presence, exactly as is at this very moment, is greatly appreciated. Come on in and enjoy this week's quotes!
__________
Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful,
the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds
and their feet on the ground. Walk with those who have ideals,
with zest to help and lift, to create and contribute.
Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better
than when you found it. . . . Associate with the creative people
wherever you find them. Make friends with them, go where they are,
talk with them, listen to them, be open and receptive to them,
let them inspire you. Catch their attitudes, their way of thinking and living.
Wilferd A. Peterson

A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic...
I will not die an unlived life.
I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
To allow my living to open me,
To make me less afraid,
More accessible.
To loosen my heart until it becomes a wing,
a torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance;
To live so that which came to me as seed
goes on to the next as blossom
And that which came to me as blossom,
goes on as fruit.
Dawna Markova
