I relate to this quote...

"It came to me that every time I lose a dog, they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and maybe I will become as generous and loving as they are." ~ Unknown

Friday the 13th

Does Friday the 13th bother you?

If so, don't look at the calendar!

I was just talking to someone who was on their way to a wedding today - perhaps the bride (who traditionally picks the date) has a tattoo culture, where 13 is a lucky number?

Here's is one of my favourite quotes for a common  Friday the 13th superstition:

A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere.

 - Groucho Marx

Today's Inspirational Quote:

"Let us cry for the spilt milk, by all means, if by doing so

we learn how to avoid spilling any more. Let us cry for the

spilt milk, and remember how, and where, and why, we spilt it.

Much wisdom is learnt through tears, but none by forgetting

our lessons."

-- Maria Amparo Ruiz de Burton

Oh this is positively brilliant. 

Today's Inspirational Quote

A very good thing to remember don't you think? 

"I think fitting in is highly overrated. I'd rather just fit
out... Fitting out means being who you are, even when people
insist that you have to change. Fitting out means taking up
space, not apologizing for yourself, and not agreeing with
those who seek to label you with stereotypes."
-- Golda Poretsky

Something to ponder

"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That

myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more

powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over

experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I

believe that love is stronger than death."

-- Robert Fulghum

"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."

-- Oscar Wilde

Quote for the Day

"It's better to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong than a

pessimist who is always right."
