\"Kick
Angels of Love by Janice Taylor, Self-Help Artist<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Because my mother had a stroke last week, and she is, so to speak, scripting her final chapter, which is currently overflowing with love, laughter and song, I can’t help but to think about life.\u00a0\u00a0 And as I do, as I reflect on the meaning of life, a life well-lived, a happy life, a balanced life, I realize that within each of us is the desire to move forward in life; a drive to search for the truth of that which we are, to unearth our essence, to know why we are here. \u00a0We have a need to become whole, holy healed, to find meaning and purpose; to live our life to the fullest.<\/p>\n

Here are 10 quotes that speak to the mystery of life, complete with laughter as well as splinters.<\/p>\n

LIFE QUOTES!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Life is not always fair. Sometimes you get a splinter even sliding down a rainbow. ~ Terri Guillemets<\/p>\n

My life has a superb cast but I can’t figure out the plot.\u00a0 ~ Ashleigh Brilliant<\/em><\/p>\n

Life is a whim of several billion cells to be you for a while.\u00a0 ~ Author Unknown<\/p>\n

Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told:\u00a0 “I am with you kid.\u00a0 Let’s go.”\u00a0 ~Maya Angelou<\/em><\/p>\n

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.\u00a0 ~George Bernard Shaw<\/p>\n

All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.\u00a0 ~Havelock Ellis<\/em><\/p>\n

Life is like a ten-speed bicycle.\u00a0 Most of us have gears we never use.\u00a0 ~Charles Schulz<\/p>\n

People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle.\u00a0 But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth.\u00a0 Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize:\u00a0 a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child – our own two eyes.\u00a0 All is a miracle.\u00a0 ~Thich Nhat Hanh<\/em><\/p>\n

Life is the sum of all your choices.\u00a0 ~Albert Camus<\/p>\n

I believe in pink.\u00a0 I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner.\u00a0 I believe in kissing, kissing a lot.\u00a0 I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.\u00a0 I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.\u00a0 I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.\u00a0 ~Audrey Hepburn<\/em><\/p>\n
