I loved them!
some I found:
"A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory"
"Strange that psychics have to ask you for your name"

Hope you all have a wonderful Easter !!

I am afraid hubby and I will be spending it alone this year, I sure will miss the kids and the company we normally have.


A joyful heart makes a cheerful face.

I haven't been on the computer much lately, just wanted to sai "HI" to all of you, wish I had something clever to post. LOL



No matter how alone you feel,you'll find your journey is a shared one.

Life does not have to be easy to be wonderful.

Hello to everyone !!

Slow down and enjoy life.
It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast ...
you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.

Laugh at yourself first ...... before anyone else can !

Hope you all are having a good day !

It is so hard NOT to worry about something, everyone I know is going through some kind of difficulties. This affects us mentally, emotionally, health wise , our sleep patterns, etc. I have had a rough couple of years and worry hasnt gotten me anywhere but sometimes you just cant help but to worry.

WHAT WORRIES YOU, MASTERS YOU.

Hope you all have a nice week-end !

I see blue skies,
it's pouring rain,
the flowers bloom,
the worlds in pain.

The sun shines,
upon the earth,
all is well,
we found mirth.

By Sally

This just came to me this morning out of nowhere !! LOL

Boy! That certainly sums up my life too!

Here are some more quotes, this time from GoodQuotes.com:

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.


When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.


OK, so what's the speed of dark?


Hope everyone is having a nice day! I will probably pop back in here again tomorrow. I miss Monk!
ps- so, so sorry about that snow, captainsgirl

We haven't any snow here yet in my part of MI. , even though it is in the forcast. I could have sworn there was sleet hitting the windows a few minutes ago and now the sun is out and no rain or snow and it is suppose to be 80 degrees Thur. and Fri. crazy !! Do you live in MI. too ?
I missed MONK so bad, now I'm hooked on HOUSE, love Hugh Laurie anyway, so it all works out.

Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.

If you can't convince them, confuse them.

Have a good day everyone !

I just write poems
To avoid the sadness
Because to be happy
It's my philosophy

This is from the book The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery:

"One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes."


and no, captainsgirl, I don't live in Michigan - I live in Connecticut. We've had lots of rain & very cool weather, but no snow. It will be in the 80's this weekend! Too hot too fast! Where are those nice days of spring, with 60 - 70 degree temperatures? Seems like we go from winter to a few weeks of 40's-50's, then to summer! Some tulips came out just yesterday, and the trees are still bare. Only a couple of dogwoods with buds. Good gravy!

I might get into House now too - I have to have at least one obsession! I've never seen the show at all, but might tune in.

The weather is crazy !! It was so warm here my tulips started to come up then it got real cold again. It is suppose to be 80 here too this week-end, its nuts !! I love the mid 70's and sunshine !!
I tried to watch HOUSE a couple of years ago and even though I really like Hugh I didnt care for the show,then I just started watching a few months ago and now I love it, go figure that one out ! LOL

Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live.

Friendship isn't about being there when it is convenient,
it's about being there when it's not.

Take care Y'all

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
- Pablo Picasso

Also, this is not a Thought of the Day, but I recently read Michael J. Fox's 2 books, and they were very enlightening & inspirational. I read the second one first, then the first one second, and that was okay, but I wish I had read the first one first: Lucky Man, then Always Looking Up.

Hello everyone !
I was wondering if any of you belong to Twitter. I recently joined BUT my friends still can't find me and the replies I send do not post. I know others have had trouble it too, but it's annoying ! Monk fans are usually " in the know" of most everything so please pass any info on to me. Thanks.

When you look ahead you can only see what you can do,
not the help that you will recieve along the way.

Riding on the wings of Angels.

Take care,

~ Helen Keller

The sadness is when even here
It's not cool has to hear
Nevertheless it's so true
But if you're fine happy for you

The sun is out today and I bought some hanging baskets to give out for Mothers Day. I plan on spending some time outside today and enjoy the sun a bit, I just penned this short verse.

The sun shines,
Upon the umber earth,
As flowers bloom,
I'm filled with mirth.

I like your poem, Captain's girl!

"Any ordinary favor we do for someone or any compassionate reaching out may seem to be going nowhere at first, but may be planting a seed we can't see right now. Sometimes we need to just do the best we can and then trust in an unfolding we can't design or ordain."

"Let us make one point, that we meet each other with a smile, when it is difficult to smile. Smile at each other, make time for each other in your family."

"You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take." ~ Wayne Gretzky
"Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow." ~ Helen Keller

For all things bright and beautiful
For all things dark and mysterious and lovely
For all things green and growing and strong
For all things weak and struggling to push life up through the rocky earth
For all human faces, hearts, minds, and hands that surround us
And for all nonhuman minds and hearts, paws and claws, fins and wings
For this Life and the life of this world
For all that you have laid before us, O God
We lay our thankful hearts before you.
~ Gail A. Ricciuti

Have a great weekend!

Been having trouble with my computer server and could not get on for a couple of days. I still have that old dinosaur of dial up, I need to switch over to high speed !

Love rejoices at the success of others instead of being envious.

Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.

Live well, laugh often.

Good day to you all .

Uggh! I used to have dial-up... it was a pain!

If the cake is bad, what good is the frosting?-Chinese Proverb

Love isn't something you wear. It isn't something you can go buy at the outlet mall. It doesn't cost you a dime. It isn't something you can pick up and touch. Love is something completely timeless, completely genuine. Love isn't something you can hold in your hands. It's something you feel. It's something that encompasses your entire being, and it either leaves you feeling absolutely overjoyed, or absolutely shattered.-By me

I love that quote about love! Amazing! And true.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.
Henry David Thoreau

There is only one way to happiness, and that is to cease worrying things which are beyond the power of our will.
Epictetus

Have a great day!

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

The world always looks brighter from behind a smile. ~Author Unknown

Have a great day and weekend!

Been offline for a few days and just wanted to say " hello" to you all.

Trust yourself, you know more than you think you do.

To be happy doesn't mean everything has to be perfect.
It means you have decided to look beyond the imperfections.

Hope you all have a good week-end !

I love those quotes!

This world would be so lonely, in sunny hours or gray,
Without the gift of friendship to help us along our way.

Laugh at yourself first....before anyone else can.

You must look into people as well as at them.

Appreciate the people in your life today.

Love the ABBY pics from NCIS ! I love to watch her and Sean( McGee) together.


Reach out and give your love to the loveless,
Let your smile touch through you to others,
Be a comfort to someone today,
It may be the only kindness they see.

"We are the people our parents warned us about"
-- Oopsie, I forgot who wrote this quote. :/ um.. yah sorry.

Kindness is the oil that takes the friction out of life.

The difficulties of life are to make us better -- not bitter.

Hello, everyone!

"Live the life you want to live. Be the person you want to remember. Make decisions, make mistakes. If you fall, at least you tried."

"Life is about trusting our feelings and taking chances, losing and finding happiness, appreciating the memories and learning from the past."

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."

"Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart."

Have a great day!

Hi, I haven't been active in awhile and now when I log in, my display name is Yoimen_4
but the 4 was never there before. I didn't put it there. I've always just been Yoimen. Does anyone know why that happened or if I can change it, cuz I can't figure it out.
Also, i know this is probably not the right thread to post this in, but I'm not even sure where I can ask my question. Is there like a FAQ or something somewhere, I couldn't find anything to help me out.

I know it's happened before but I have no idea why. I'm not that much help, am I? Haha.
