Quote-able

One of my favorite stories is Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott
I stumbled upon this website where there were quotes available to view and simply put, I find them fascinating. My desire is to be as articulate and wise in the way I write and speak when I express my heart.
Perhaps in time I shall be, but for now I will leave you with a few quotes that seem to resonate with my heart and thoughts of late.

“You don’t need scores of suitors. You need only one… if he’s the right one.” 
― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

“I don't pretend to be wise, but I am observing, and I see a great deal more than you'd imagine. I'm interested in other people's experiences and inconsistencies, and, though I can't explain, I remember and use them for my own benefit.” 
― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

“Love Jo all your days, if you choose, but don't let it spoil you, for it's wicked to throw away so many good gifts because you can't have the one you want.” 
― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

“I keep turning over new leaves, and spoiling them, as I used to spoil my copybooks; and I make so many beginnings there never will be an end. (Jo March)” 
― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

If adventure will not befall.

"If adventure will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad." -Jane Austen In a moment everything can change I know this full well Yet, I find myself, even still, in a state of utter disbelief that this is my reality To the person who saw that my roots ran deep and my feet were planted That recognized that my growth was stunted. Who spoke into who she knew I could be and saw what I was capable of. Thank you.  For your vote of confidence. Speaking life into a dream that was in my heart For taking the well loved and cared for, potted flower & moving it into a new place where growth could continue Giving me the courage and the safely to know I was loved no matter where home became. I had no idea my life could be as it is Remember the days when you spoke so sure about how things would be and always would be...? You know, the things that are absolutes in your life, in your ignorance and innocents of youthful pride "I will neve...

A day without rain

Well family and friends, it has been one week of being here in the UK in intern mode.  I believe my body is almost in UK time... although mornings can be a bit difficult, lets be honest, mornings have never been my thing ;) Apparently as I arrived, so did the change of weather, rain arrived making each day changeable from moment to moment.  'Oh look, it's sunny!' 2 minutes later, down pouring. Makes for a bit of concern while walking, never knowing if you should be prepared for a sudden down pour. But I signed up for this, so no real complaining from me.... just getting adjusted to things. For example, sayings and words you should be using. I have to say, I have had to ask many time what people are saying to me, or, what exactly they have asked me to do. The words they use, so different! But then, I also have funny saying and words that they in turn need me to clarify and it has been rather amusing. I have yet to really go any where beyond the coffee shop, church and my h...

Conditions

Conditions. Favorable or unfavorable. These factors become the difference between confidence and the feeling of being out of control. Well acquainted with its quirks and the way it drives, my car and I have driven many miles. Sunshine, warm days and open roads. Driving is both liberating and enjoyable and not merely just a means to an end. Snow, ice, wind and darkness. Driving is stressful, at moments terrifying. And the car that once felt very familiar now feels unfamiliar. Weightlessness upon a surface that was once clear, its boundaries no longer visible. Once familiar, now obscured.  Sunlight that once gave foresight, is replaced by headlights that give fragments of visibility as you move forward in the descending darkness. You know your destination. But the journey towards home is difficult, uncertain, long and slow. You cannot guarantee that you will arrive without incident. You only know, that you have to take deep controlled breath, after d...
