i am a hopeful person. i find joy and beauty everywhere i look. it's amazing. opening my eyes. looking. observing. having had the chance to sleep. to learn once again to ward off worry. to choose rest. to choose peace. all a part of being fearless. of being hopeful. of a life of balance. I saw this on a friend's facebook today and wanted to share.....I am learning to be these things. blessings my dears.
“It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living, I want to know what you ache for.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are, I want to know if you are willing to risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.
I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine.
It doesn’t interest me where you live or how rich you are, I want to know if you can get up after a night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and be sweet to the ones you love. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and truly like the company you keep in the empty moments of your life.”
