I'm still unemployed, down, and searching for my ray of light.  I feel like I'm laying flat on a giant scale, and I really need a lift in a positive direction.  It's 2:30 in the morning, and I don't feel inspired to write a whole lot....but, I have been doing some reading, and I wanted to share a few quotes and affirmations that meant something to me during the stillness of this night. 


Just because you deny it, doesn’t mean it’s not real.

The future is unknown. If we worry over it, it robs us of the moments that we know belong to us.

This moment, this day, could be the best of your life.

We all think our pain is the worst, because we are the one suffering from it.

Pain is relative.

Humbly ask God to remove our shortcomings.

Character Defects: They are like old friends we are not sure we want to let go.

The greatest joys and biggest frustrations in life involve other people.

Expectations are dangerous.

I’d lived with that pain so long, I wasn’t sure I could exist without it.

I deserve to be happy as much as anyone else.

I don’t compare myself, my life, to others.

Every choice I make, each day, is important because it defines my character.

Nothing is bad if I learn from it.

I can focus, without being distracted, on one task at a time.

My work does not define me. It’s what I do, not who I am.

I am kind to myself because I know I deserve it.

While I cannot explain who God/diety/great spirit is, this prayer still has a strong hold on me.  The content, well, it speaks for itself.

God, grant me the serenity,

To accept the things I cannot change,

The courage to change the things I can,

And, the wisdom to know the difference.
