Week #3 - Inspiring Five Monday: Hope

Love is not wondering how long it will last but how beautiful it grows.


Life itself is a challenge that we ought to face. You lose some, you win some, but if you never give up, you will discover that sacrifices have the greatest rewards.


A morning smile will recharge you with tireless energy to go through the way.


When we wake up in the morning we have two simple choices. Go back to sleep and dream. Or, wake up and chase those dreams.


It is wiser not to expect, but to hope. For in expecting, we meet disappointments; whereas in hoping, we invite surprises.

I need a "pick me up"

The moment when you first wake up
in the morning is the most wonderful
of the twenty-four hours. No matter
how weary or dreary you may feel,
you possess the certainty that, during
the day that lies before you, absolutely
anything may happen. And the fact that
it practically always doesn't, matters not
a jot. The possibility is always there.
- Monica Baldwin


You cannot protect yourself from sadness

Life:
I read The Vampire Academy Series by Richelle Mead. I think everyone should read it. It's brilliant, to my opinion better than twilight although i don't like making comparisons since both are very different. I do say i did enjoy it better than the twilight saga. Can't wait for the new book coming out in July 30 that continues the Vampire academy series.
