Well Adam just walked in the door and I've been home for about an hour now logged into my computer and I still didn't even have a single word written for this post.  Guess I'm just feeling quiet inside and I'm finding Facebook to be overly distracting today.  Usually it doesn't get too much attention from me anymore but I liked what I saw today.

I saw a post with a sneak peak for a Nicholas Sparks' movie.  It looks so romantic!  However, I seriously have gotta stop reading and watching that crap because I'm really starting to wish it was real life!  Poor Adam!  ;)  Then I also found a news article that brought me back down to earth.  It was about this 12-year-old girl who recently died of bone cancer but before passing she wrote quotes on the back on a mirror in her room.  Her parents found them a few days later and I just want to share some of them with you because they definitely struck a chord with me.  Then I will get to the recipe!

"Happiness depends upon ourselves;" "Maybe it's not about the happy ending, maybe it's about the story;" "The purpose of life is a life of purpose;" "If someone loves you then they wouldn't let you slip away no matter how hard the situation is;" "Love is not about who you can see spending your future with it's about who you can't see spending your life without!"  Hopefully one of these will resonate with one of you as well.  Take it from a 12-year-old who was clearly beautiful inside and out!
