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

Also, I painted a quote on a canvas. I might take pictures of it later.

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.

Life:
"But when I am afraid, I put my trust in you." Psalm 56:3

I am afraid....Very.
I decided to make a small post about quotes and inspiring pictures to blog a little about me. I sometimes get afraid. Common emotion we all feel. Afraid of obstacles, health, future and even the dark are among our usual fears. I sometimes fear when i am uncertain and doubtful...yet i remember to face my fear head on and not let it consume me. It is said that fear is an old trick the enemy uses against our lives, trying to stop us from being who we're supposed to be. So i tell you this: When you are facing your fear, whatever it is, God is asking you to hold on to Him. He in turn will hold on to you. And nothing and no one will ever come between you. He is your shelter, and the antidote to your fear. I pray that you learn to place your life in God's capable and strong hands.

I have fought against my better judgment, my family's expectations, the inferiority of your birth by rank and circumstance. All these things I am willing to put aside and ask you to end my agony....I love you" -Pride & Prejudice


"Summer romances begin for all kinds of reasons, but when all is said and done, they have one thing in common. They're shooting stars, a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, fleeting glimpse of eternity, and in a flash they're gone." -The Notebook


"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." -Moulin Rouge


"What value will there ever be in life, if we aren't together?" -Becoming Jane

Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain

"She doesn't relate to other people. She was always a lonely child."


I just finished watching Amélie. It's a great film full of hope and life's excitement. I was so happy to finally get the chance to see it. It's been a topic among my friends and I was always curious to unleash it's awesomeness. I loved it a lot. It reminds me of my life too!! how often do you relate to a movie this fully?
The film takes place in beautiful Paris. I had the privileged to have gone to montmartre, so it was wonderful to feel at home with the scenery! I wish i was in Paris...It's beautiful. Here are some of my favorite quotes from the movie:

"We pass the time of day to forget how time passes."

"It's better to help people than to be like a gnome in the garden."


"Times are hard for dreamers."


"Without you today's emotions would be the scurf of yesterday's"
