What is coming

This made me tear up a little when I read it...

What is coming is better than what is gone.

A full heart

I am not perfect. I say stupid things sometimes. I laugh when I'm not supposed to. I have scars left by people who did me wrong. I'm a little crazy, and probably won't change. Love me or not. But I make you one promise, that if I love you, I do it with a full heart.

Picky

If you knew how hard 

it was and how long it took

to rebuild my little universe

of peace and happiness then

you would understand why

I'm so picky about who

I allow in my life.

Her heart

Her heart is so large that she doesn't even know how to give up on people, even when they deserve it.

Gradually

I think this was posted in response to the recent changes in abortion laws...

by Joni Eareckson Tada

And gradually, though no one remembers exactly how it happened, the unthinkable becomes tolerable. And then acceptable. And then legal. And then applaudable.

Sometimes

Sometimes you have to keep your good news to yourself.

Everybody is not genuinely happy for you.

My note: I learned this the hard way, many times over...

That kind of power

She's been through hell and came out, an angel.
You didn't break her, darling.
You don't own that kind of power.
