Acceptance of one's life has nothing to do with resignation; it does not mean running away from the struggle. On the contrary, it means accepting it as it comes, with all the handicaps of heredity, of suffering, of psychological complexes and injustices.

I agree wholeheartedly. But I also think that was what ultimately ended Judy's life. She was just so HUGE it was hard to keep being who she was, and living up to everyone's high standards for her.

I just received this from my very dear friend, as he knows my situation at this time in my life.
"I don't care if you live, die, or grow mushrooms in your crack"

Say that to someone who has hurt you in someway and most likely you will be left alone.

Judy was a famous singer/actress and what happened in her life and how she lived has absloutely nothing to do with why I like this quote.

There's several people in the music business as well who were/are on drugs and booze but that didn't stop me from enjoying their music.

I wouldn't dream of saying something like that to anyone. I sure wouldn't consider him a friend.

I'd find a new friend.

You see things that are and ask Why.

I see things that are not yet and ask why not.


Can't remember who wrote it - I think, Kahil Gilbran. Had it in a small poster when I was a kid. It really, really spoke to me and still does.

If you have built castles in the air, do not despair. That is where they belong. Now build the foundations under them.

Or something like that. Henry Thoreau.
