Love Is

Rules to Live By

Beauty Fades

It’s easy to enjoy each other while on a vacation in Maui. The key is to find someone you can have fun with during the six hour flight over there. ~Tom Arnold

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down. ~Oprah

"Sexiness wears thin after a while and beauty fades, but to be married to a man who makes you laugh every day, ah, now that's a real treat." ~Joanne Woodward

Be Kind

Hellish Turmoil

"When we hate our enemies, we are giving them power over us: power over sleep, our appetites, our blood pressure, our health, and our happiness. Our enemies would dance with joy if only they knew how they were worrying us, lacerating us, and getting even with us! Our hate is not hurting them at all, but our hate is turning our own days and nights into hellish turmoil." ~Dale Carnegie

Waiting

Don't Leave Me

DON'T GO FAR OFF, NOT EVEN FOR A DAY- Pablo Neruda

Don't go far off, not even for a day, because --
because -- I don't know how to say it: a day is long
and I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station
when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep.

Don't leave me, even for an hour, because
then the little drops of anguish will all run together,
the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift
into me, choking my lost heart.

Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach;
may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance.
Don't leave me for a second, my dearest,

because in that moment you'll have gone so far
I'll wander mazily over all the earth, asking,
Will you come back? Will you leave me here, dying?
