Parenthood is about raising and celebrating the child you have, not the child you thought you would have. It's about understanding that he is exactly the person he is supposed to be.

Happy couples are aware of each other's dreams and consider helping each other realize them to be one of the goals of marriage. - John Gottman

Sympathy is easy. You have sympathy for starving children swatting at flies on the late night commercials. Sympathy is easy because it comes from position of power.

A love that will last
Within your heart
I'll place the moon

As the pain sweeps through,
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill is gone
Wasn't too much fun at all,
But I'll be there for you
As the world falls down

Falling
Falling down
Falling in love
I'll paint you mornings of gold
I'll spin you Valentine evenings
Though we're strangers 'til now,
We're choosing the path
Between the stars
I'll leave my love
Between the stars

每一個在你的生命裡出現的人,都有原因。

喜歡你的人给了你温暖和勇氣。你喜歡的人讓你學會了愛和自持。你不喜歡的人教會你寬容與尊重。不喜歡你的人,讓你自省與成長。

没有人是無缘無故出現在你的生命裡的,每一個人的出現都有原因,都值得感激。

因為看輕, 所以快樂; 因為看淡,所以幸福。我們都是天地的過客,很多人事,我們都做不了主。譬如離去的時間,譬如走散的人。

"心" 字三個點,没有一個點不在往外蹦。你越想抓牢的,往往是離開你最快的。

人生,看輕看淡多少,痛苦就離開你多少。人人都怕自己不清醒,希望自己心明如镜。其實人生何必太清醒?

做粥要放三分米,七分水。處事要三分為己,七分為人。對朋友要三分認真,七分寬容。對家庭要三分愛,七分責任。看文章要三分在看,七分在品。喝酒要到三分醉,七分醒。

三分.......七分.....不過是人生的掂量。

看的是書,讀的却是世界;沏的是茶,學的却是生活;斟的是酒,品的却是艱辛。

人生就像一張有去無回的單程車票,没有彩排,每一場都是現場直播!

Trump leaves Obama out in the cold in SA. The pettiness of Trump and his enablers continues to amaze me.

By providing a sense of balance and actively protecting childhood we’re giving our children the greatest gift they’ll ever receive."
