and Sometimes 
Good Things fall Apart 
so Better things can fall Together.”

Trying to buy the Same records

even if we don't Like them.

off an Assembly Line, 
and I Don't want to be a Robot!”

178/365 - Reaching his Highest Potential (Elizabeth Gilber)


“I have a History of making decisions very quickly about Men. 
I have always Fallen in Love fast 
and without Measuring Risks. 

 I have a tendency not only to See the Best in everyone, 
but to Assume that everyone is Emotionally Capable 
of Reaching his Highest Potential. 

 I have Fallen in Love more times than I care to count 
with the Highest Potential of a Man, 
Rather than with the Man Himself, 
and I have Hung on to the Relationship 
for a Long Time
 (sometimes Far Too Long)
 Waiting for the man to Ascend to his Own Greatness. 

Many Times in Romance 
I have been a Victim of my own Optimism.”

  - Elizabeth Gilbert 
(Eat, Pray, Love)

172/365 - A Witness to our Life (Susan Sarandon)


“We need a Witness to our Lives.

  There are Billions of people on the planet.
I mean, what does any One Life really Mean?  

But in a Marriage, 
you’re Promising to Care about Everything – 
the Good things, the Bad things, 
the Terrible things, the Mundane things – 
All of it, All the time, Every day.  

You’re saying, 
'Your Life will not go Unnoticed 
 because I Will Notice It.  

Your Life will not go Un-Witnessed,
 because I will be your Witness.’”

- Susan Sarandon
