INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES AND ANECDOTES ~ Best Friends ~ October 19, 2011 by Dolores Ayotte

A Wo-Man’s Voice The other day, my two-year old granddaughter told me that I was her “best friend”. Wow…where does a two-year old hear such an expression? Well, she has three older siblings and I’m sure she heard it from one of them when they were talking with their friends. I was very touched when she made this comment, although, I’m not so sure she knew exactly what she was saying. Young children, usually go to great lengths and have much need for a best friend. It’s all part of the growing up process. I’m pretty sure we have all been there. As the years have gone by, I’ve come to realize that the girlish need for a best friend no longer exists. My “best friend” is my husband and all my female friends are just that, my friends. I love them, enjoy them, and I relish the relationships that we share. Over the years as part of the maturation process, I have changed my focus. For many years now, my goal in life has been “to be” a best friend rather than “to have” a best friend based on some insecure need of mine. In doing so, I have surrounded myself with a wonderful group of people, both female and male. I always try my “best” to be a true and loyal friend. I have every desire to take their feelings into consideration. Hopefully, one day my two-year old granddaughter will realize that I am truly her best friend because I love her with all my heart. Isn’t that what being a “best friend” is all about? I sure hope so because my friends mean the world to me. QUOTES AND ANECDOTES “Friends are an indispensable part of a meaningful life. They are the ones who share our burdens and multiply our blessings.” (Beverly Lahaye)

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES AND ANECDOTES ~ New Ending ~ September 21, 2011 by Dolores Ayotte

How many times in life do we live with regrets? We look back and sometimes our lives haven’t gone quite the way we hoped for or expected. We get so disappointed and discouraged with ourselves, our lives, and with the people around us. No one can change the past, not even God. What’s done is done. The key in life is to not let the past affect our present or future happiness. There’s nothing wrong with looking back and learning from our past mistakes but rather than mourn the loss of what could have been, we can choose to start now to make a new ending. By doing so, we can change the outcome of future events. Our lives can hold a much brighter future when we look ahead with faith and courage. Faith in God and a renewed faith in ourselves…because we have taken the time to look in the mirror and realize as well as capitalize on the personal power that we possess in order to start now and create a new, more positive, and acceptable ending to our lives. Go for it! Life is too short to wake up with regrets.. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don’t. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.~ Source Unknown

FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE ~ Silence Is Okay ~ August 25, 2011 by Dolores Ayotte

I married my high school sweetheart. No, we weren’t the prom king and queen. As a matter of fact, he actually got chosen and I didn’t. He was so gallant that he refused this honor because he didn’t want someone else by his side to share in this teenage moment. It’s seems like a lifetime ago that we were playing the dating game in our eleventh grade classroom. My high school sweetheart grabbed my attention right at the onset. Boy…he was one quiet guy and I sure made up for his silence. Now, over forty years later, he is a little more talkative and I am a lot less. Although, I still can outdo my husband, I have nowhere near as much to say. I find that we have long moments of silence in our home and it’s not one bit awkward. We’ve discovered that we can still be in each other’s company and provide a sense of comfort with silence. I like it and so does he. The pressure to fill the silence has been removed a long time ago as we embrace each other in this wonderful and pleasant way. Yes…silence is okay. In fact, in most instances I have come to cherish it and my husband is still gallant enough to “not” admit this truth. I may not have been chosen to be the prom queen but I’ve pretty well been treated like one ever since. 42 years and hoping for more! Happy Anniversary Fred! ___________________________________________________________________ QUOTES AND ANECDOTES “Harmony is one phase of the great law whose spiritual expression is love.” (James Allen)
