Free to Soar!

 One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.

 ~ Helen Keller

I believe that everyone has a destination to which they are trying to soar to. I can picture how I want my life to be....but I am not always sure of how to get to it. It's a place where positives outweigh negatives, laughter is louder than anger, a smile is easier than a frown and kindness is everyone's top priority. Sounds too good to be true...but it is in my thoughts and my dreams.

My best friend has nicknamed me "Polly Positive" and I truly take that as a compliment!....My glasses are rose colored and sometimes I don't see things the way others do but wouldn't it be nice if life could be that way. I am learning that the struggles that life puts in our paths are put there to make us stronger. 

I love quotes and want to share a few:

  That was rough.... Thing to do now is try and forget it.... I guess I don't quite mean that.  It's not a thing you can forget.  Maybe not even a thing you want to forget.... Life's like that sometimes... Now and then for no good reason a man can figure out, life will just haul off and knock him flat, slam him agin' the ground so hard it seems like all his insides is busted.  But it's not all like that.  A lot of it's mighty fine, and you can't afford to waste the good part frettin' about the bad.  That makes it all bad.... Sure, I know - sayin' it's one thing and feelin' it's another.  But I'll tell you a trick that's sometimes a big help.  When you start lookin' around for something good to take the place of the bad, as a general rule you can find it.  ~From the movie Old Yeller 

The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears.  ~John Vance Cheney

 When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile.  ~Author Unknown

 I expect to pass through life but once.  If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.  ~William Penn

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.  ~Steven Kloves, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (movie)
