These are the colors that fill our days...





Everyone has to have an object of light in their life. Whether it be a person, place, or thing, one must always have one. It's this something that fills your darkest days with vibrant colors. Something that when on the gloomiest days can make the sun shine right over you head.




There is no such thing as independence, rather we are all interdependent. We are all connected beautifully to each other, and to the objects around us. Never be afraid to fall in love. To love someone is a magical thing. To wake up and needing that person to hold you, to kiss you before they leave, to make you breakfast in bed, to make you feel that you are somebody, to make you be that somebody you always wanted to be.




Never be afraid to be depended on anything for fear that they might leave, that it will break, that it will disappear, or that you will be left holding but a brief memory of the long forgotten past.


These are the colors that fill our days....

Living in the Now




"If you set yourself a goal and work towards it, you are using clock time. You are aware of where you want to go, but you honor and give your fullest attention to the step that you are taking at this moment. If you then become excessively focused on the goal, perhaps because you are seeking happiness, fulfillment, or a more complete sense of self in it, the now is no longer honored. It becomes reduced to a mere stepping stone to the future, with no intrinsic value. Clock time then turns into psychological time. Your life's journey is no longer an adventure, just an obsessive need to arrive, to attain, to "make it." You no longer see or smell the flowers by the wayside either, nor are you aware of the beauty and the miracle of life that unfolds all around you when you are present in the now"



The Power of Now - by Eckhart Tolle
