Worrying is the interest paid on a debt you may not owe.

AIDS has come upon us with cruel abandon. It has forced us to confront and deal with the frailty of our being and the reality of death. It has forced us into a realization that we must cherish every moment of the glorious experience of this thing we call life. We are learning to value our own lives of our loved ones as if any moment may be the last.

Whenever something good happens, write it down. Buy a special notebook . . . and use it to list all the good in your life.

For now realize that you can change anything you want, but you can't change everything you want.

The part of us that feels anger and depression is the same part that feels peace and love. If you refuse to feel the anger and the pain of a loss, you will not be able to feel anything else until that area heals. In other words, stay out of your own way. Let yourself feel bad if you want to feel bad. Feel joy, too. Healing is taking place. Give yourself the gift of healing.

As the world gets dumber and dumber, I feel more and more at home.

Choosing what you want to do, and when to do it, is an act of creation.
