I have learned a great truth of life. We do not succeed in spite of our challenges and difficulties, but rather, precisely because of them.
memories grateful thinking
I think the secret to a hoppy life is a selective memory. Remember what you are most grateful for and quickly forget what your not.
writing imagination active
I suppose I have an active imagination, and writing allows me to live it out.
home school kids
If you passed me walking home from school, you probably wouldn't even notice me. That's because I'm just a kid like you. I go to school like you. I get bullied like you. Unlike you, I live in Idaho. Don't ask me what state Idaho is in––news flash––Idaho IS a state. ~Michael Vey

In the end, we all lose it. Remember that. In the end, we own nothing.
giving-up real people
Sometimes, when tragedy strikes, people give up hope that they can expect anything more from life, when the real quest is finding out what life expects from them.
dwelling want-him want
Dwelling on him would make him a bigger part of my life than I want him to be.
summer long people
There are people who come into our lives as welcome as a cool breeze in summer- and last about as long.
suffering form clear
Suffering ceases to be suffering when we form a clear picture of it.
