"You don't write melodies, you find them…If you find the beginning of a good song, and if your fingers do not stray, the melody should come out of hiding in a short time."

Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work.

"We all have the power to create our moods by consciously choosing to see the good around us". "It’s always there". "It’s just a matter of whether or not we’re willing to look and see".
My life has most certainly been blessed with good people. Those of you I only know from the net and have not personally met and those who I have. Life is precious. Daryl

Having a place to go is a home. Having someone to love is a family. Having both is a blessing.
(One that we often take for granted, especially those we love, and we should verbally tell them each and every day how much they mean to us)

Lives are enriched or destroyed by a variety of factors. Not the least of those factors is our choice of words. What we say, how we say it, and when we say it often determines the difference between friendship and enmity, between happiness and misery, between peace and conflict. It is wisdom that profits for us to be careful with our words. Regardless of the relationship, no matter what the occasion, despite the situation, few things will affect the ultimate outcome more than what is said or not said.
The tongue can be a wicked or soothing member but you must control it for such.

What kind of a price tag would you put on yourself? An oral answer to this question is not enough. You answer it by the way you live.
I'll not turn back to past mistakes And dwell on them again; But onward press to future tasks With strength renewed and sane. No matter what the past has held The future days are mine; To plan, to work, to build anew, With guidance more divine. A larger life, a deeper faith A purer love, a nobler goal Shall be the aim of my desire The earnest purpose of my soul. R.H. Whitney
