My favorite poem
When I was in elementary school, I had to memorize this poem. And after more than 2 decades later, it is still my favorite.... The Road not Taken Robert Frost Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
and sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
and looked down one as far as I could
to where it bent in the under growth; Then took the other, as just as fair,
and having perhaps the better claim
because it was grassy and wanted wear;
though as for that, the passing there
had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally laying leaves no feet had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I --I took the one less traveled by,and that has made all the difference.

Fairy Tale Reality
"We all remember the bed time stories of our childhood. The shoe fit Cinderella, the frog was turned into a prince, sleeping beauty was awakened with a kiss. Once upon a time and then they lived happily ever after. Fairy tales. The stuff of dreams. The problem is, fairy tales don't come true. It's the other stories. The ones that start in dark and stormy nights and end in the unspeakable. The nightmares always seem to become the reality"

Gate keeper
I woke up this morning not feeling right in the world. It's a feeling I always try to run and hide from. I am usually successful most days but today it caught me off guard. It hit me at my most vulnerable time of the day. It's that time when my brain hasn't started processing busy thoughts yet to sidetrack any emotions that I have had kept hidden all these years. This morning my brain just wasn't fast enough to do it's job as gate keeper. As I got flooded with past regrets, painful memories, and heartbreaking sadness, I tried to take a deep breathe which turned into a heart wrenching sob. Finally my brain started fighting back with logical and rational thoughts. It did win the battle for today but there will be another weak moment of the gate keeper and I will get attacked again. And maybe that next time my brain won't win the battle against my heart. Would my life be better served if my heart became the gate keeper of my thoughts instead of my brain?

"You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime." -Dale Carnegie. (thanks @THEezrunner)
