It has been said that we need just three things in life... something to do, something to look forward to and someone to love.

To love and to risk is to live. That's what we're here to do.

Sure, there's the chance of cold and danger but what's the alternative? What doesn't kill you makes you stronger and it's great feeling strong!

In love, we may risk disappointment and hurt but we might also experience joy and happiness. I believe the possibilities are well worth the risks!

Obama/Biden Forever!!!... or for at least 8 years!!!

Can't help thinking about Hillary, though! Oh, well.

The important thing is taking back the country from those lying, cheating traitors/criminals.

Touched by An Angel

We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.

Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.

We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.

-Maya Angelou
