Love is not blind. It sees more and not less, but because it sees more it is willing to see less. ~Will Moss~

When she'd see young lovers kissing or groping each other in public, my mama would sarcastically say, "Ain't love grand?" and I can still hear her voice saying "Pretty is as pretty does"

My daddy had some more...uhmmm...crude ones that I won't repeat here, but some of them still make me smile to think about. ;)

The one that I keep telling myself lately when things aren't going the way I'd like for them to, "Who's going to give a damn 20 years from now?"

There's also the prayer:

Dear Lord,
I pray for Wisdom to understand my man
Love to forgive him
And Patience for his moods
Because Lord, if I pray for strength, I'll beat
him to death.
