Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, or good middle of the night to all. It is time to get away from the all important details of day-to-day life, take a deep breath, relax your shoulders, kick off your shoes and enjoy reading this week's quote!
__________
"The great moments of your life won't necessarily be the things you do. They'll also be the things that happen to you. Now, I'm not saying you can't take action to affect the outcome of your life. You have to take action, and you will, but never forget, that on any day, you can step out the front door and your whole life could change forever. You see, the universe has a plan kids, and that plan is always in motion...It's a scary thought, but it's also kind of wonderful, all these little parts of the machine constantly working, making sure you end up exactly where you're supposed to be exactly when you're supposed to be there. The right place at the right time."
From the TV Show, How I met your mother

"You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection."

Therefore, we are saved by hope.

A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic.... Do your New Year's Resolutions "go in one year and out the other"?
Back in January of 2008, The Quote of the Week featured a new way of of making New Year's Resolutions (thanks to Kristine Kane's blog). She suggests that instead of making resolutions, we would pick a word or words that would guide us throughout the year. It would remind us of living our lives at the TO BE level instead of the To Do or To Have level.
This year I am choosing just one word and that is Openness! (My words for 2008 were Gratitude, Appreciation, Listen and Learn and for 2009, they were Lighter, Possibilities and Tranquility.)
What will be your word or words will you chose that will guide you throughout the year? Care to share yours?

Tomorrow, we shall have to invent,
once more,

New Year's Quote; 2002
Recipe for a Happy New Year; Serves One, with plenty for everybody!
Ingredients:12 Months; faith; patience; courage; work; hope; faith; generosity; kindness fun ; play; humor; love; unselfishness; cheerfulness; meditation; resolution
Take twelve whole months and see that they are thoroughly free from old memories of bitterness, rancor and hate. Cleanse them completely from every clinging spite. Pick off all specks of pettiness and littleness. Make them just as fresh and clean as possible.
Cut these months into twenty eight, thirty or thirty-one different parts but don’t make the whole batch at once (so many persons spoil the entire lot this way). Prepare one day at a time.
Into each day put one part faith, one part patience, one part courage, and one part work.
Add to each day one part hope, faithfulness, generosity, and one good deed.
Put in about one heaping tablespoon of good spirits, a dash of fun, a pinch of play, and a heaping cupful of good humor.
Pour all of this into a kettle of love. Cook thoroughly over radiant joy, garnish with a smile, and serve with quietness, unselfishness, and cheerfulness.

"Christmas--that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance--a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved."
Augusta E. Rundell
__________
"What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace."
