Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you&rsquo;re really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners o the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I&rsquo;ve got a few missing. It&rsquo;s okay though, because I&rsquo;ve got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation so when I meet some one who&rsquo;s an 8-color type&hellip; I&rsquo;m like &ldquo;hey girl, magenta!&rdquo; and she&rsquo;s like &ldquo;Oh you mean purple!&rdquo; and she goes off on her purple thing, and I&rsquo;m like, &ldquo;No, I want magenta!&rdquo; &ndash;John Mayer

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. . .And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. - excerpts from 1 Corinthians 13:4-13

No matter how may people are watching you, no matter what they are saying and what they are doing, it doesn&#039;t change the fact that you are you and that you are amazing.
