Mixed Blessings By Danielle Steel

p.25 - "I love you," he whispered as she stood at his side, and as she looked at him, she realized that she really loved him.  He was doing something wonderful for her, he was giving her a beautiful new life, and offering to protect her forever.  No one had ever done anything like that for her, and she knew, as she looked at him, that he would never fail her....He was just right for her, a good friend, a good man, a good husband...

p. 31 - And the more she came to know him, the more she respected him, the more impressed she was with his mind and his skill and his soul, his unfailing sense of fairness and integrity.  He was even more remarkable than people had told her.

And before she knew it, she was head over heels in love with him and he with her....

p.41 - "You were worth the wait, every minute of it.  And I'd wait another fifty years if I had to."

p. 209 - "We're two good people who love each other and have a lot to give each other, and the world, and their friends."

p. 331 - "It's so strange, you expect one thing and you get another, you pay a price for everything in life, I guess...the good, the bad, the dreams, the nightmares...it all comes rolled up together.  Sometimes it's hard to tell them apart, that's the hard part."

Happy 2014!!!

I'm hoping to do better with my blogs this year.  Things have been really crazy busy in my life the last couple of months, but alot of good has happened.  I am unhappy at my job and trying to find a new one, but my relationship is getting stronger and hopefully going places now.

Dangerous Secrets

"She decided right then that there was something about a man who could handle a gun and a spatula."

"She belonged  here with him, and he could easily get used to seeing her here and having her in his life."

Annie By Ron Mahaffey

p. 40 - When you look deep into the eyes of someone you love, a certain line of communication comes alive that only the two of you can hear.

p. 61 - "I love you with all my heart.  When I'm away from you I deeply miss you.  When I'm with you I never want to leave; I want to share every  moment of the remainder of my life being with you, working hard to make you happy, and I want always to be with you through the hard times we might face and the joyful times that we will be blessed with."

p. 73 - Only a soldier can fully understand the reasons why he feels the burden of guilt for having survived while so many of his friends have violently died.  The feeling stays with him throughout his entire life, and no matter how old he grows, it will always feel as if it just happened yesterday.

Cowboy With a Cause

"Sometimes you just had to adjust your expectations of the way you thought your life should go and grab onto happiness wherever and whenever it could be found."

Crossroads By Mary Ting

"Love is everything when you find it.  It can take you places and make you feel like you've never felt before.  It makes you strong, and at the same time, it can make you feel vulnerable because you give all of yourself completely."

"If I had to die to save you, I would.  I would do it in a heartbeat.  Life isn't worth living unless you have someone worth dying for."

"Don't fight what you cannot control. Fight for what you can."

"...with all my heart and all my soul, I am with you even though I am far away."

"Multiply my love by infinity and take it to the depths of forever, and you still have only a glimpse of how I feel for you.  I love you more."

Confessions of a Prayer Slacker

"The person who really wants to do something finds a way; the other person finds an excuse."
