I am grateful for what I call well-spent moments: Making a tuna fish sandwich with the works. Taking at least a half hour to eat it outside. Ironing my vintage tea towels while watching old black-and-white film noir movies and sipping one martini with extra olives - a quirky combination, but it works.

Human beings, as far as I can tell, seem to be divided into two subspecies -- the resigned, who live in quiet desperation, and the exhausted, who exist in restless agitation.

Never forget that all you have is all you need.

How could I expect more from the universe when I didn't appreciate what I already had?

Be grateful for the home you have, knowing that at this moment, all you have is all you need.

An authentic life is the most personal form of worship. Everyday life has become my prayer.

Not every one of our desires can be immediately gratified. We’ve got to learn to wait patiently for our dreams to come true, especially on the path we’ve chosen.
