" Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself."
- Harvey Fierstein
Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is that man who hides one thing in his heart and speaks another. ~Homer
"Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes to simply be human. Maybe, we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate."
-Grey's Anatomy
"There are two tragedies in life.
One is to lose your heart's desire; the other is to gain it. "
-William Bernard Shaw
"Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he's been robbed."
-Gordon B. Hinckley
"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone."
-Neale Donald Walsch
"Pursue your goals with all your heart, might, mind, and strength. You are doomed to failure if you pursue them in a vacillating manner."
-Robert D. Hales
"It's that wonderful old-fashioned idea that others come first and you come second. This was the whole ethic by which I was brought up.
Others matter more than you do, so don't fuss, dear; get on with it."-Audrey Hepburn
Never let anyone make you feel bad for the decisions that you make, not even yourself.

"MARRIAGE IS NOT A NOUN; IT'S A VERB. IT ISN'T SOMETHING YOU GET. IT'S SOMETHING YOU DO. IT'S THE WAY YOU LOVE YOUR PARTNER EVERY DAY." -ANN LANDERS (Thanks to Mallory for this one.)
This SAHM thing is hard. It takes guts, a strong stomach, and a tough emotional interior and exterior, and for that, I feel I need no justification, neither should anyone else.
