Lucy with quotes

Been a while for Lucy pictures and some good quotes. By the way, these pictures of Lucy ONLY happen when she is sleepy! You can see towards the end that she started to fall asleep.


"Everyone's afraid of something, that's how you know you care about things, when you're afraid you'll lose them." -via The Bodyguard.

"And that's the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too." -Khaled Hosseini on The Kite Runner (GREAT movie)

"Isn't it ironic? We ignore the ones who adore us, adore the ones who ignore us, love the ones who hurt us, and hurt the ones that love us." --via Just Lia's blog.
That is so true---I get so disheartened watching people fawning all over the people who couldn't care less about them, the people that give them just enough attention to keep them around.

"But some emotions don't make a lot of noise. It's hard to hear pride. Caring is real faint- like a heartbeat. And pure love--why some days it's so quiet, you don't even know it's there." -unknown

"All human beings should try and learn before they die what they are running from, and to, and why." --James Thurber

More Quotes From Other Blogs

"Life changes. You get it all lined up just the way you like it and then something beyond your control comes along and bumps your off center. How nice it would be if you could get everything just the way you want it and say “okay, now … stay!”. But nothing stays the same. You grow up, make friends, lose friends, go to college, lose track of people, meet new ones and sometimes you ask yourself why. But all I can tell you is that every single experience you go through changed you in some way. Every new person who comes into your life changes you. Every moral dilemma or emotional experience you come up against changes you. It’s your job to decide how."
--via littlemiss

"Life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences. uh-uh. but rather it’s a tapestry of events that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan."
--Dean Kansky

"You aren’t here to be ordinary, but to step
beyond limitations and self-imposed boundaries.
Don’t allow yourself to be trapped by convention or the expectations of others.
You have the ability to choose your life on your terms.
Replace the phrase “I should” with “I could, but I choose not to at this time.”
Perhaps you aren’t always free to create the exact circumstances of your life - but you’re certainly able to decide what meaning to give those situations.
Select meanings that empower you, for this is the time to break free."
--Unknown

Some Quotes

One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter.

Maybe one of these days I will be able to give myself a gold star for being ordinary. And maybe one of these days I'll give myself a gold star for being extraordinary. And maybe one day I won't need a star at all.
--Sue Bender


If only people loved others like they love themselves...
--Unknown

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
--Emerson

I've fallen in love many times...always with you.
--Unknown

The same one in b&w reminds me of an old movie or retro poster...and evokes the feeling that Godzilla is going to eat us all any minute. Maybe Brink felt the same way, hence his apprehension. ;)

Quote

Nat had a very nice quote on her blog today...so I was inspired to post one that I recently received in an email forward. I had never seen this quote before--but I like it and it says a lot! You probably don't know this, but I'm a big fan of quotes...well and quotation marks and these cool little....in my sentences. Anyway...I used to be BIG into collecting quotes and have a bunch written down here and there.

"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."

I have no idea who said that, but it's a good one for sure. I'm in a good mood today, so it's easy for me to say I should be kind to someone when they are pissing me off...it's true though, when we are ignoring someone, being not exactly the friendliest to someone, or just complaining in general---we should remember that everyone is fighting their own battle.
