excerpts from "the positive side of life"

You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened.

A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

i'm finally going to be taking the private cello lessons that i've been wanting to take since i graduated from school. finding a private cello teacher is so dang hard. after 3 years of searching, i finally found a teacher...sigh of relief.

(one of many post-college goals ... check)

the only sad thing was that after i got off the phone with my teacher to reconfirm my schedule, i couldn't find one person to share the good news with. oh well. more happiness for me.
