Purple Heart 2010 Memorial Day

PURPLE HEART

Each Purple Heart shall always be
A part of freedom’s history

Hold deep inside a fervent pride
For all who gave, the brave who died

They showed their best for liberty
They stood for us with certainty

Their wound of war, their Purple Heart
Each dared to care and do their part

Some bore a wound which took their life
While others lived past war’s honed knife

True patriots, they faced their call
To keep our nation strong for all

Deep scars of war are carried by
Those who return, and those who cry

Pray for the brave, their loved ones too
Thank God for heroes – all of you

Eat To Live

I found this quote appropriate for the New Year.  Since it’s the “New Year, New Year” time, I thought I would give you some encouragement to keep you on track with your diets or lifestyle changes.

One should eat to live, not live to eat.  ~Cicero, Rhetoricorum LV

Happy Holidays!

Tomorrows Christmas Eve and as you are wishing everyone a happy holiday, keep the spirit of the holidays in mind with this quote:

Let Christmas not become a thing
Merely of merchant’s trafficking,
Of tinsel, bell and holly wreath
And surface pleasure, but beneath
The childish glamour, let us find
Nourishment for soul and mind.
Let us follow kinder ways
Through our teeming human maze,
And help the age of peace to come
From a Dreamer’s martyrdom.
~Madeline Morse

For The Person You Are

If you have been reading this blog a while, you know that I always like to start the week off with something positve.  Therefore, I like to give you quotes to get you throught your week.  Often times, we, as humans, tend to struggle with who we are and where we want to be in life. 

 

This does not only roam through the minds of younger people, but people of all ages.  Sometimes this is due to coming of age or a life-changing experience.

 

As you “search” for self-discovery, please keep this inspirational quote in mind:

 

Never mind searching for who you are.  Search for the person you aspire to be.  ~Robert Brault, www.robertbrault.com

Besides, today is my 30th birthday and I am happy to be on this journey of self-discovery.
