The First Snowflake 

“The first fall of snow

is not only an event,

it is a magical event. 

You go to bed in one kind of a world 

and wake up in another quite different,

and if this is not enchantment 

then where is it to be found?”

~ J.B. Priestley

Just Keep Watering 

“We’ve got this gift of love,

but love is like a precious plant. 

You can’t just accept it

and leave it in the cupboard 

or just think it’s going to get on

by itself. You’ve got to keep

watering it. You’ve got to

really look after it and nurture it.”

~ John Lennon

Have Faith in Yourself 

“One of the things I learned

the hard way was that it

doesn’t pay to get discouraged. 

Keeping busy and making optimism

a way of life can restore 

faith in yourself.”

~ Lucille Ball

Dancing With Goats

“I think most of us are raised

with preconceived notions

of the choices we’re supposed to make. 

We waste so much time 

making decisions based on someone else’s idea

of our happiness—

what will make you a good citizen

or a good wife or daughter 

or actress. 

Nobody says, ‘Just be happy;

go be a cobbler or

go live with goats.'”

~ Sandra Bullock 

Look Up Through the Treetops 

“The sensitive ear of the musician

detects a certain musical note

in every city which is different

from that of another city. 

He hears in each little brook

a new melody, and to him

the sound of wind

in the treetops of different forests 

give a varying sound.”

~ Max Heindel

The Guitar Man

“I think it’s so cool that you 

can pick up the guitar and

create something that didn’t

exist 5 minutes ago. 

You can write something 

that no one’s ever heard before. 

You have music at your fingertips.”

~ Michelle Branch
