Inspirational: Roller Coaster Ride

[frodo_esque]

I have the cute little magnet on my file cabinet at work that I picked up at a local trade fair, and just today a coworker picked it up, flipped it over, and saw that it had a verse on the back.  I absolutely loved it and felt it would fit in perfectly with my "inspirational" posts!

Before I begin though, I must share that my friend Kristen bought

Now THIS I love! WONDERFUL!!!

I'm so glad you like it. =)

My favorite line is:

Knowing this after the fact
Didn't make it any easier,
But looking back,
I like myself so much better now
For having endured it.

It doesn't make it any easier to look back and realize, or even consider that it happened for a reason, but because it did-- and because we survived it, it makes us inherently stronger.

This is one of my favourite magnets:

I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.

- Edgar Allan Poe

Awesome!

Why be normal? =D

I like this one too:

“Some people never go crazy, What truly horrible lives they must live” - Charles Bukowski

Here's the funny part...I wondered if anyone would reply with a "Weeee!", and it was you! =D

I love coasters as well...tell me you don't get a mini surge of sdrenaline from this picture:

We've planned family vacations around roller coasters!

I have just copied that poem into an email to my sister - she's had lots of ups and downs the past year (in fact the last 10 years) :-)

How wonderful, I hope it helps lifts her spirits. =)
