❝R - “I’m so tired. Will my body ever get used to not having caffeine?”
D - “It will. The wonderful about our bodies is they get used to anything you put them through. Abuse or otherwise.”
R - “What if I drink a lethal dose of poison. Will my body get used to that?”
T - “Small increments, and you should be ok.”
D - “How do you think Westley trained himself to become immune to iocaine powder*? He spent years on that.”
R - “I said a lethal dose. Not starting with a small dose and working your way up to immunity.”
T - “Not sure. Try it and let me know so I will be able to give an educated answer in the future.”

❝Regarding any situation in your life, whether it be a relationship, a job, a friendship…if it’s not a resounding YES, it’s a NO. A maybe is a NO. Follow your heart even if it means stepping squarely into the middle of your fear, and find your YES.
— Ally Hamilton, my teacher.

❝It’s a beautiful day to be alive!
— @mammothmountain employee. I wholeheartedly agree.
‘You played dungeons and dragons?’ ‘Yeah, but back then it was cool.’ ‘If we don’t go to Mammoth, and lets do a get-together here.’ ‘But if we do, we all have to stay up until midnight’ ‘You know what’s sad about that? That you even had to say that.’ ‘Put it on!’ ‘I’ll put it on your face’ ‘It won’t fit there.’ ‘Put it in her mouth; it’ll fit there.’ ‘… Because it’ll be funny.’ ‘Is that why we want to do that? Because it’ll be funny?’ ‘Are you fingering my finger?’ ‘You made me cry today.’ ‘You didn’t cry.’ ‘But I thought about it.’

❝Wherever you go, go with all your heart.
— Confucius, by way of @shenglan22.
❝When our muscles burn and cramp, we take it as a sign of strengthening, it’s clear to us that growth is happening. Remember that your heart is a muscle, too. If it’s hurting, you can bet that you are growing. Try not to resist the feelings, even though they’re painful. See if you can allow the pain to open your heart, …rather than harden it. Soon the “burning” part will be over, and you’ll have that much more strength, compassion and love to draw from. Maybe you can even smile to yourself just a little bit, even if you are in the “belly” of your pain. Something is coming, something is being birthed. If you want to be happy, love is the currency, and this is the “blood, sweat and tears” part. You can do it.

❝We all hate this, but as human beings we deal with it and accept for some strange reason. Today I rebel! Time to dip into the carpool lane!

❝A while ago, don’t remember when, I was at Target and bought a jar of cheese dip. Well, I never could open it, I had my neighbor try and he couldn’t open it then Scott tried it today and he couldn’t open it. Soooo, I returned it to Target and told her the story, she tried and she couldn’t open it. I got another jar and I told the girl behind the return counter to open it before I took it home. Finally got a jar of cheese dip that I can use.
