If it seems you often are between a rock and a hard place, start collecting the rocks. They have beauty , too.
Sit on the stoop in your pajamas, watching the rain and eating pasta whenever you feel like it.
See those who are older than you for the people they still feel like inside.
You will feel a little better if you take all those emotions and use them to create something. Anything.
The smallest gesture can give someone hope for a lifetime. Be generous with your heart. Treasure little things.
Share life. Share sadness. Share happiness. Share time. Share love.
Break the rules.
Old and worn things can have history, patina and beauty. Never base value only on newness.
Observe the hidden things that no one else notices. Nature has a great sense of humor.
