    My mother's funeral is on Wednesday, and her favourite saying was "There is always someone worse off than you" even in her darkest years and hours of suffering. Release at last Mum! Bless her for being so helpful to the community for many years, a positive influence everywhere, a fundraiser, a loving parent, grandparent, and beloved great grandma. God rest Mum xxxx
    Thank you for sharing this heartfelt, positive message with us. May I say for all of us, we send our deepest condolences for your loss. We're glad she is no longer suffering... makes me tear all up!

    Take care!

    "C'est la vie" (phrase), a French phrase, translated as "That's life"

    I use this phase often when I don't get my way.

    What phrase do you use when you DO get your way?

    Don't tell me it's "That's Death"?



    Okay, fine, that was a 'bad showing'.

    Can I offer a distraction?

    Quote Posted by Tesseract (here)
    The only certainty is uncertainty.
    You reminded me of something Bashar said:

    Quote Change is the only constant
    And the Corollary from the world of theoretical physics:

    "There are no facts, save one: There are no facts. Everything else - is theory."

    ie, that paradox is the only position, in this reality, sliding from one state to the next.

    Which is that thing about differential being the only living thing, but it is not the differential that exists, but the self of recognition that exists between the two points as 'differential'.

    Ie, time, mass, energy, consciousness..potential.....as differential.

    If I get my way, I say:

    I love when things go my way, thank you God, creator of the universe! Death to those who want to take my joy away! (insert profanity choice word here).

    Anyway, thanks for the funny reply, I had to laugh...

    If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.
    /Yeshua ben Joseph/

    -------

    A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.
    /Michel de Montaigne/

    He who cannot obey himself will be commanded.
    /Friedrich Nietzsche/

    Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.
    Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
    /Johann Wolfgang von Goethe/

    -------

    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field.
    I will meet you there.
    /Rumi/

    As soon as you concern yourself with the "good" and "bad" of your fellows, you create an opening in your heart for maliciousness to enter. Testing, competing with, and criticizing others weakens and defeats you.
    /Morihei Ueshiba/

    Forget your perfect offering.
    There is a crack in everything.
    That's how the light gets in.

    "As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness."

    I was walking with the local 6-year-old boy yesterday, who responded to one of my comments by saying, "It's easier than pooping in pie!".

    I like this saying on on a sign on my husband's office door:
    " NO TRESPASSING! Violators will be shot. Survivors will be shot again."

    We were going to put it on the outside of our front door but I thought it might attract some unwanted attention.
