“You may think you don't have talents, but that is a false assumption, for we all have talents and gifts, every one of us. The bounds of creativity extend far beyond the limits of a canvas or a sheet of paper and do not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Creation means bringing into existence something that did not exist before-colorful gardens, harmonious homes, family memories, flowing laughter.” ThinkingMayMeanHomeMemoriesExistenceCreativityTalentCreationKeysLimitsPaperLaughterGardenBoundsPianoAssumptionPensCanvasBrushesSheetsHarmoniousColorfulFalse AssumptionsFamily Memories Author:Dieter F.

“The death of a friendship was usually slow and insidious, like the wearing away of a hillside after years of too much rain. A handful of misunderstandings, a season of miscommunication, the passing of time, and where once stood two women with a dozen years of memories and tears and conversation and laughter—where once stood two women closer than sisters—now stood two strangers.” YearsTwoMemoriesToo MuchTearsConversationLaughterRainSeasonsStrangerPassingPassingsDozenMisunderstandingHandfulInsidiousMiscommunication Book:The Lost Love Collection: Even Now and Ever After Source: The Lost Love Collection: Even Now and Ever After

In vain we seek to question the gray ghosts of old-time revelers.” LooksPastMemoriesLaughterDiedGhostVainGrayCheerEchoesMirthDepartedOld TimeGood Cheer Author:Agnes Repplier
“Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it's like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all.

“But in order to survive in this foreign world, I had to teach myself that love was very much like a painting. The negative space between people was just as important as the positive space we occupy. The air between our resting bodies, and the breath in our conversations, were all like the white of the canvas, and the rest our relationship- the laughter and the memories- were the brushstroke applied over time.” PeopleWorldImportantBodyOrderMemoriesSpaceWhiteTeachAirPaintingConversationLaughterNegativeBreathsOur RelationshipCanvasSpace BetweenNegative Space Book:The Lost Wife Source: The Lost Wife
“Time goes on, and your life is still there, and you have to live it. After a while you remember the good things more often than the bad. Then, gradually, the empty silent parts of you fill up with sounds of talking and laughter again, and the jagged edges of sadness are softened by memories.” StillsRememberLife IsSoundMemoriesTalkingSadnessGoes OnLaughterEmptyGood ThingsSilentEdgesTime Goes OnJagged Edge Book:Looking Back: A Book of Memories Source: Looking Back: A Book of Memories
