Damned Good Advice

OK, so anyone that knows me well, knows that I have a thing for movie quotes... lol Last night we watched The Women... buried somewhere in the middle of the movie as Meg Ryan and Bette Midler smoked a fatty was a tidbit of advice that just stuck with me.... "Let me give you Leah Miller's secret to life. Don't give a shit about anybody. Be selfish. Because once you ask yourself the question "what about me?" everything changes for the better. I mean after all, who ARE you? What do YOU want?"

Pleasure

Pleasure is wild and sweet. She likes purple flowers. She loves the sun and the wind and the night sky. She carries a silver bowl full of liquid moonlight. She has a cat named Midnight with stars on his paws. Many people mistrust Pleasure, and even more misunderstand her. For a long time I could hardly stand to be in the same room with her. I went to sleep early to avoid her. I thought she was a gossip and a flirt and she drank too much. In school we learned that she was dangerous, and I was sure she would distract me from my work. I didn't realize she could nurture me. As I have changed Pleasure has changed. I have learned to value her friendship.

Courage

I'm gonna throw a few of these in here. They're little pieces of my favorite book. It's called the Book of Qualities by J. Ruth Gendler. Had this book for a long time and it's just one of those things I can pick up any time at all and see something totally differently than I did before..... Courage Courage has roots. She sleeps on a futon on the floor and lives close to the ground. Courage looks you straight in the eye. She is not impressed with powertrippers, and she knows first aid. Courage is not afraid to weep, and she is not afraid to pray, even when she is not sure who she is praying to. When Courage walks, it is clear she has made the journey from loneliness to solitude. The people who told me she is stern were not lying, they just forgot to mention that she is kind.
