Reflections
A Hobbit's House
By Mona Lease

"You might think you don't matter in this world, but because of you someone has a favorite mug to drink their tea out of each morning that you bought them. Someone hears a song on the radio and it reminds them of you. Someone has read a book that you recommended to them and gotten lost in it's pages. Someone remembered a joke that you told them and smiled to themselves on the bus. Someone's tried on a top and felt beautiful because you complimented them on it. Someone has a memory that makes them grin and has you involved in it. Someone now likes themselves a little bit more because you made a passing comment that made them feel good. Never think that you don't have an impact, your fingerprints can't be wiped away from the little marks of kindness that you've left behind." - Peace, Love and Everything Else

"When I'm old and my work here is done, I'm going to move into a tiny hobbit house. I will spend my days reading good books, playing in wild waters, writing, and growing weeds while drinking black coffee, doing magic and eating bacon and dark chocolate until I die." - Peace, Love and Everything Else

"Let me make a short, opening, blanket statement. There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a decent person is no threat to anybody - except bad people." - Charlton Heston

There are two types of pain in this world. Pain that hurts you and pain that changes you. - Untraveled Journey

My goal in life is for me and my best friend to become the old ladies who cause havoc in the nursing home by giving everyone vodka to take their meds with. - "jus'sayin

"Go out into the world today and love the people you meet. Let your presence light new light in the hearts of people." - Mother Teresa

People think you are crazy if you talk about things they do not understand. - Untraveled Journey

Be careful when you follow the Masses...sometimes the "M" is silent. - Obvious Magazine

Interesting Confusions: 1)Can you cry under water? 2)Do fishes ever get thirsty? 3)Why don't birds fall off trees when they sleep? 4)Why is it called a building when it's already built? 5)When they say dog's food is "new and improved"...who tastes it? 6)If money doesn't grow on trees, why do banks have branches? 7)Why does round pizza come in a square box? 8)Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of it's bottle? - Peace, Love and Everything Else

"There are two types of people you'll meet in your life. One will run a finger down the index of who you are and jump straight to the parts of you that peak their interest. The other will take his or her time reading through every one of your chapters and may fold corners of you that inspired them most. You will meet these two people; it is a given. It is a third that you'll never see coming. That one person who not only finishes your sentences, but keeps the book." - Peace, Love and Everything Else

A narrow mind and a wide mouth usually go together. - Halos and Horns Fun Page

Breakups hurt, but losing someone who doesn't respect and appreciate you is actually a gain not a loss. - Halos and Horns Fun Page

It so doesn't matter who likes us...WE like us. - Zen to Zany

You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you making you spill your coffee everywhere. Why did you spill the coffee? You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup. Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea. The point is whatever is inside the cup, is what will spill out of the cup. Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which will happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it until you get rattled. So, we have to ask ourselves, "What's in my cup?" When life gets tough, what spills out? Joy, gratefulness, peace, and humility? Or does anger, bitterness, harsh words, and reactions come out? You choose. Today let's work towards filing our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation, gentleness, and love for others. - Emilie Hobbs

It's your life, don't let others tell you how to live it. - The Atlas Society

Nothing annoys me more than when someone expects you to be okay with something that they wouldn't be okay with if it were done to them. - Peace, Love and Everything Else

Sometimes you have to love people from a distance. - Peace, Love and Everything Else
