 To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die. -Thomas Campbell  Yesterday my husband and I took flowers to the cemetery for my mom. It will probably be a daily visit this week since the 18th is the Anniversary of her death, and her birthday is on the 24th. The first year of her death I was making sure she always had flowers, but as we all know, life gets crazy and difficult to accomplish all that we intend to do, so its been awhile since my last visit.                                                                               I'm not one that stands by the grave site crying or talking to her - that's not me, but I will always acknowledge her passing and birthday with her favorite flower - roses.

It actually reminded me of a quote that I always loved stating that it's never to late to have the childhood you wanted. We often spend so much time dwelling on all of the bad things that have happened to us, all the things we wish we had done and all the negatives in our life, that we get stuck.

Sunday is suppose to be a day of rest so I'm going to try and take advantage of it. Although I know with my personality it's probably not going to happen. But in an attempt to make it a partial reality I've decided today and most likely each Sunday to share some of my favorite quotes with you. I've been reading and writing down my favorite quotes and proverbs for years. So here's a few for you... hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Happy Sunday! Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is bliss, taste it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it. Mother Teresa Catholic Nun, Missionary Nobel Peace...
