Love the Questions of your Life

"

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given 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

A short quote with a BIG Meaning

"It's a Beautiful Day."

Father Joe Nolan

__________

This past Sunday the Nolan Family celebrated my Uncle Joe's 95th Birthday along with his 70th anniversary of his ordination to the Priesthood. About 70 cousins, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, and friends were there to celebrate. The big surprise of the day was when 20 plus members of the Sacred Heart Church Choir (the church where Father Joe retired) came and sang 3 beautiful hymns in his honor. It was a beautiful tribute.

 "It's a Beautiful Day" was a way that he started many of his sermons and had a reputation throughout his parish of carrying that same Beautiful Day attitudethroughout his work.  It was quite apparent that he was an inspiration to the congregation, and is still an inspiration to ALL of his family and friends! 

It was a Beautiful Day!

The Journey

​

"Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. 

Maybe it’s about unbecoming everything that isn’t you 

so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place."

Paul Coelho

TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW:

"MY HAPPINESS DEPENDS ON ME
SO YOU'RE OFF THE HOOK."

AND THEN DEMONSTRATE IT

BE HAPPY NO MATTER WHAT THEY'RE DOING

PRACTICE FEELING GOOD, NO MATTER WHAT.

AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, YOU WILL NOT GIVE ANYONE

ELSE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE WAY YOU FEEL AND THEN,

YOU’LL LOVE THEM ALL.  BECAUSE THE ONLY REASON YOU DON’T LOVE THEM,

IS BECAUSE YOU’RE USING THEM AS YOUR EXCUSE TO NOT FEEL GOOD.

The REAL Battle

The Real Battle

~ for me anyway ;-) ~ 

​

"I am convinced that the deepest desire within each of us is to be liberated from the controlling influences of our own psychic madness or patterns of fear. All other things-the disdain of ordinary life, the need to control others rather than be controlled, the craving for material goods as a means of security and protection against the winds of chaos-are external props that serve as substitutes for the real battle,

which is the one waged within the individual soul."
