Thank you, John Lennon.

This morning, as I do almost every morning, received my Charlie mail.
You don't know what Charlie mail is??
Aw. Well, don't fret.
Head over here & see what it is all about!
You could be a 'Charlie' too! :)


Anyhoo, so I opened my mail and was so happy to find this photo + quote:

Of course, I have seen it before.
I've read the quote from the famous John Lennon...
& yet I forget something so simple. 


My life isn't perfect, but it is mine.
I work with what I have and try my best to change the things that bring me down.
Life is good.
It is even better when you live it happy.
So live it happy, friends. 


much love,
xoxo.

Ms. Roosevelt once said...

Learning and living,

 but they are really the same thing, aren't they?

There is NO experience from which you can not learn something... and the purpose of life, after all, is to LIVE it -- to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.

You can do that only if you have curiosity -- an unquenchable spirit for adventure. The experience can have meaning only if you understand it.

You can understand it only if you have arrived at some knowledge of yourself. -- a knowledge based on a deliberately & usually painfully acquired self-discipline, which teaches you to cast out fear & frees you for the fullest experience of the adventure of life.

I honor the human race.

When it faces life head-on, it can almost remake itself.

(Thank you, Eleanor. Thank you.)
