Bathroom.....tree or sayings......or both

I've decided to paint my bathroom.  Right now it's a pretty light purple, almost lavender color.  I was going to paint a tree in the room...with branches & flowers.  But now I think I might put all different sayings all over the walls.  Like graffiti but with class.  What do you think?

Sayings like:

"Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else:  you are the one who gets burned"  ~Buddha

"You are an unfinished work in progress.  One of the good things about life's challenges, you get to find out that you're capable of being far more than you ever thought possible"  ~Karen Salmanshon

"you is Kind, you is Smart, you is Important"  ~Abileen Clark "The Help"

"Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway."  ~Elanor Roosevelt

Live in such a way that if someone should speak badly of you no one would believe it.

And then my soul saw you and it kind of went "Oh there you are.  I've been looking for you".

In French you don't really say "I miss you"  you say "tu me manques" which means "you are missing from me".....

One of the simplest ways to stay happy is...letting go of the things that make you sad.

Friends pick us up when we fall down, and if they can't pick us up, they lie down and listen for awhile.

"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment"  ~Buddha

"Never be afraid to fall apart because it is an opportunity to rebuild yourself the way you wish you had been all along" ~Rae Smith

It is a wise mother who gives her child roots and wings.

I love you to the moon and back.

Lucky

How many times do we have to take our lives and each other for granted until we ultimately realize how lucky we are?  Each and every moment together could be our last...do you really want it to "end" like this?  If you love someone show them, if you dislike someone (well you really can't show them but you can not waste your time on them)......spend time with those that lift you up and make you feel energized and uplifted - don't waste time on those that are "soul suckers"...you know who I'm talking about.  We all have them in our lives, it's hard to get rid of them but for your own inner peace and health you have to.....they will never change, nor should they.  Just like you are who you are, they are as well.

love yourself

Each and every day I struggle to love myself....I think somewhere inside we all do.  My new tattoo is a constant reminder to continue to love myself.  

It's a flower - but if you look closely it say's in script "love yourself".....

If we all could learn to love ourselves more, wow - what a different place this world would be.
