I’ll offer a couple that I find worthy of contemplation:
When asked what surprised him most about humanity the Dalai Lama answered:
“Man sacrifices his health in order to make money to recuperate his health.
And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present,
the result bein that he does not live in the present or the future…
He lives as if he were never going to die and then dies, having never really lived.
Here’s another from George Carlin, that came to mind when giving a eulogy for Ramona, the lady who ran a crossdressing service and first introduced me to feminine attire, makeup, jewelry, heels, and the joy of going into the world to explore the woman within and all it invites: prom dresses, makeovers, mani-pedis, looking glamorous at a gala event, enjoying the swish of a skirt against one’s nylons, feely sexy, being Ma’amed, having a man smile and hold a door open for me, and much more.. She considered herself a “reality artist” when helping others bring out their beautiful inner beings; she brought meaning to a quote attributed to George Carlin:
“It is not the moments we breathe that matter, but the moments that take our breath away.”

Hi Rhonda…
how about these…
” Calories don’t count on Sunday, it’s the lord’s Day and he wants us all to be happy ”
” I run on coffee, sarcasm and lipstick – it works for me”!!
” The fact that there’s a highway to hell, and only a stairway to heaven…..says a lot about anticipated traffic “!!!
Smiles, grace xx

On the other side of the glass ceiling is a floor on the next level.
Don’t shelter from the rain – dance in the storm.
Can I get more sequins and glitter?
Tell me your name, because you look like my new friend!
If you can’t love yourself, how are you going to love somebody else?
Can I get an Amen in here?
Love Laura

Sing like no one is listening. Dance like no one is watching. Love like you have never been hurt.
Yesterday is past, you cannot change it. Today is now, live it as it happens. Tomorrow is the future, make it better.
Everyone I have ever met is a part of me now.
But the most important: Live, Love, Laugh.
❤

I have a couple;
It’s easier to receive forgiveness than permission.
Don’t force it get a bigger hammer.
Don’t crush that dwarf, hand me the pliers.
And my all time favorite,
We have met the Enemy and he is us.

Hi Rhonda,
Treat everyone the way you would like to be treated….
If you’re nice to me I will be nice to you and even if you aren’t nice to me I will still be nice to you….. It makes it easier for everyone to see who the jerk is.
We always wear pink on Wednesdays

Yes. A true hero. He also said “The rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated.” The only derogatory thing I’ve heard about him was a publisher who rejected a submission on the grounds that too many sentences ended in prepositions. Twain promptly shot back “That is something up with which I cannot put.!!”

The phrase my father used on me, whenever I argued with rules, as a young person,
“If you dont like the gate, don’t pinch your A$$ on the way out”
I have lived my life, with that thought, always.
It helps with others opinion’s, lol

“Do more of what makes you happy”
and…
“Don’t be someones downtime, part time, spare time or sometime. If they can’t be there for you all of the time, then they’re not worth your time!”
and…
“Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain!”
and…
“The only disability in life is a bad attitude!”
and…”
The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has it’s limits!”
and finally….
When life knocks you down, calmly get back up, smile, and very politely say… “YOU HIT LIKE A BITCH” !

“take our breath away”
Labor Day weekend 2019. In our guest bathroom.
Put in breast forms for the first time. The feelings I had were the most astounding feelings I ever had in my entire life. Indescribable!
I thought I was going to faint.
I really can’t even really describe those feelings. Beyond the words I know.
