Feelings

I agree with this quote 100% and we've all been in this situation and can't help it most of the time.

"You can close your eyes to things you don't want to see, but you can't close your heart to things you don't want to feel, The more you close your heart the farther away you are from where you're supposed to be."

.....life love fortune....

'Anything can happen at any time. Yet, life normally hums along slowly, even when love and fortune; and death and disaster are at stake. The moments which we remember afterwards - either the worst pain or purest joy - these are brief instances, interspersed by lengthy pauses of waiting, wanting, hoping, and biding the seconds of our existence.'-Jonathan Bain

"You cannot dream yourself into a character: you must hammer and forge yourself into one".- H.D.Thoreau

"Do not look back in grief over the past for it is gone, do not be troubled about the future for it is yet to come, live in the present and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering".- OTH

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, live the life you've imagined" - H.D.Thoreau

Life Lessons #1

"The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments, learn to let go of the past and recognize that every day won't be sunny. When you find yourself lost in darkness and despair, remember its only in the black of night when you see the stars and those stars will guide you back home. So don't be afraid to make mistakes, stumble and fall because most of the time, the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you wont get everything you wished for, maybe you'll get more than you ever could have imagined. who knows where life will take you, the road is long and in the end, the journey is the destination". Whity from One tree hill.

First Quote - excerpt from Suzanne's Diary For Nicholas.

There are so many things to think about when reading this- how life is and the things we think matter the most are the things we should focus on the least. Life is short and beautiful to worry about things that cause us worry. We should take initiative to focus on the things that influence us in a positive way, to lead a fruitful, peaceful life.

This is an excerpt from a book i love by James Patterson called Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas.

.......................................................................................................................................

“Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling 5 balls. The balls are called work, health, friends, family and integrity. And you are keeping all of them in the air; but one day, you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls, family, health, friends and integrity are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked perhaps even shattered. And once you truly understand, the lesson of the five balls, you will have the beginnings of balance in your life”.

A great read, pick it up sometime!

Reasons Behind The Name?

...................................

I love the distinct smell of the air after it rains.
Being at home on a chill morning during spring.
Staring out my window staring at the peaceful drops of rain.
The smell of freshly cut grass after it rains during summer.
There is just something about it that makes me smile, makes me happy.

So -smelltherain- just sort of came to me, it fits perfectly.
-inspiration- motivation- carefree- life- love-
These are some of the thoughts that cross my mind when i think about it.
That make me want to dance right into a field naked like nobodys watching.
That makes me not think of school, grades, bills or the everyday drama that follows me.

Sigh,
Ah theres nothing like a perfect summer day after it rains to calm me down
and make me think of the beautiful things in life.

You know... the sound of ... nothingness....silence....just me and beautiful thoughts.
ooo i love those moments!
But then i snap back to reality after all that.
Its those few moments that i do cherish once in a while.

U know... my form of personal escape - ♥

I caved and decided to create a blog. Haha :-)

Welcome to my page -smell the rain- guys,

As a first time blogger, i really didn't know what i wanted to write about. I just wanted to share some of the quotes i find every single day that help me when im happy, sad, angry, confused, feeling hopeless, feeling loved. These are a collection of quotes i find randomly while watching tv, reading a book or just by browsing through countless sites.

I find words can be:

- inspiring.
- uplifting.
- educational.
- motivational.

I feel no better joy than sometimes finding words that can uplift my soul and spirit during times when i feel incomplete. I hope through this we can all share alot of quotes that mean something to us or have had an impact in our lives in any way!

So excited to do this :-) .. Let the sharing begin...

.... kisses....
