[Jess]

Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same. ~Francesca Reigler

Death is nothing more than a part of life. Life can be miserable or not - that is up to us for the most part. Circumstances can affect that but if our happiness depends soley on circumstances we're bound to have a sorry life.

I tend to be very optimistic but everyone has to face the fact that we've each a set period of time for living. The avatar is something that strikes my fancy. Perhaps I interpret it as the beauty of life, hourglass in hand, while death waits patiently behind her. It's not something I've actually tried to define before, Abbey. I just like it. :)

During my cancer treatments my Dr was amazed I was not showing any fear that the treatments would not work. I told him if they work they work. If they don't they don't

When I was being taken into surgery I told my GF not to worry. If everything goes wil I would be back in a few hours. If things don't go well I would be back in a few minutes

I just remembered this Abbey

I have told her many times if something does happen to me, and later on she is outside smoking and a little kitten walks up to her - don;t be in a hurry to scare it away

I told her I could prove it is me by going over to the TV remote and punching in the channel to Fox News with my paw

and hissing at any guys that come over to take her out

[logroller]

I strive for the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things i can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.

To live one day at a time; enjoy one moment at a time;
Accepting the hardships as natural balance;
Taking this beautiful world as it is, not as I would have it.

Trusting in the balance; that I may be able to see myself as happy in this life.

[red states rule]

He who hesitates is lost

Proverb

[J.T]

Don't be so glum. Take comfort in knowing that they'll all burn in hell for all eternity- infinite suffering for their finite transgressions. There, doesn't the thought of all that suffering- that divine justice- make you feel better? Smile, you sick motherfucker- you'll have the last laugh in heaven while all those motherfuckers burn!

[red states rule]

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
Albert Einstein

[J.T]

If you feel forlorn about the fact that you shall disappear and your memory shall fade from Earth, take some comforting knowing that so, too, will all record of your transgressions fade. So let them judge if they will, for they will be beside you in the graveyard and, with time, their condemnations or their praise will disappear into the ether along with the rest of it all.
