Amazingly, something wonderful happened recently...I guess when things happen they happen for a reason...You know what? ;-)

Tuesdays with Morrie..

I started this book on a Friday, it was an important day....

I finished the book in one sitting..... I loved it so much.....

all the time I was thinking, I WISH EVERYONE HAD THE HABIT OF READING....

I feel that reading and travelling are the 2 most important things that a human being can do to understand life.

"Love is the only rational act" is one of the dying observations of Morrie Schwartz, a retired university professor who shares his final thoughts on life, love, and friendship with a young man who is transformed by being witness to a good death. Popularized by a made-for-television movie, this inspirational book is based on a true story.

SOME QUOTES FROM THE BOOK THAT TOUCHED ME

On Relationships:

"There is no formula to relationships. They have to be negotiated in loving ways, with room for both parties, what they want and what they need, what they can do and what their life is like." (p.177,178)

ON Death :

"Death ends a life, not a relationship." (p.174)

On Aging:

"Aging is not just decay...It's growth." (p.118)

On Most Important Thing in Life:

"The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in." (p.52)

On Love:

"Love wins. Love always wins." (p.40)

* * *

"Love each other or die." (p.163)

On Culture:

"The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it." (p.42)

Hold me as if for the last time.

Hold me like you've never held me before.

Hold me like you'll never hold me again.

Hold me now

Hold me forever

Hold me as your life's treasure...

But please, just hold me.

Change is the only Constant!

You have changed, I feel it!!!!

Its because you want change.

I understand.

But it does not mean I don't hurt.

Rejection always hurts.

There is something I am not telling you
There is something I have not told anyone
It's a secret but not a secret
Can you tell what it is?
Can you see what it is?
I've known it for a long time but I wasn't sure that people wanted to know it
Have you figured it out yet?

Ok, no more suspense, here is my little secret:

"I am beautiful"
That's all I wanted to say.

some quotes that make sense at this particular time in my life

"...all the gods, all the heavens, all the hells are within you."
(Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth)

[I am a part of all things and all things are a part of me, consciously or unconsciously.]

"When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream..."
(The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho)
[We are so powerful that not even the universe can deny you your heart's desire.]

"If you don't hear you'll feel."
("Cysley". My Mom)
[One way or another you will get the message that the universe is sending you. You have no choice.]
