*Lindsay Brooke*

My name is Lindsay and I am 20 years old. Life is good. I suppose the norm here is to tell all about your life, but instead I've decided to tell how I feel about life. Perhaps that is a better portrail of who I am. I generally like to take life a step at a time, burning my bridges when I reach them. Some might call me pokey, but I try to never rush through things. Call me indulgent, but i believe that living each moment to it's fullest potential is one of the keys to life. ~" Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.-- Buddah " I am also a very firm believer in the fact that everything happens, or does not happen for a reason. The people we meet in our lives are significant and so are the conversations we have. There is so much we can learn from one another if we have time to slow down and listen. We need to take time to enjoy moments and share in the intriacies of life with the people in it. Say hello to strangers and enjoy the people you know. Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the oppurtunity to learn. Appreciate yourself by allowing oppurtunities to learn from others, through this you can find who you truely are and where you want to go. Emerge from painful situations with strong insights. We went through exactly the experiences we needed to, to become who we are today. ~" And in the end, It's not the years in your life that count, but the life in your years. -- Abraham Lincoln " ~" Live as if you were to die tommorow. Learn as if you were to live forever. -- Gandhi " Another key to life is laughter. I know I will always roll down the windows on sunny days, taste the rain, smell the leaves changing colors, and smile at winter's first snow. ~" The most wasted of all days is one without laughter. -- E.E. Cummings " I also find that it is ok to sometimes worry only about one's self. We shouldn't worry so much about things. They always tend to work themselves out, don't ya find ? ~" Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson " In closing I'd like to leave you with a little something to think about today. ~" The purpose of all war is ultimately peace. -- Saint Augustine " *MySpace Layouts MySpace Layouts MySpace Codes MySpace Backgrounds **
