The Difference Between Strength and Courage
It takes strength to be firm,
It takes courage to be gentle.
It takes strength to stand guard,
It takes courage to let down your guard.
It takes strength to conquer,
It takes courage to surrender.
It takes strength to be certain,
It takes courage to have doubt.
It takes strength to fit in,
It takes courage to stand out.
It takes strength to feel a friend's pain,
It takes courage to feel your own pain.
It takes strength to hide your pains,
It takes courage to show them.
It takes strength to endure abuse,
It takes courage to stop it.
It takes strength to stand alone,
It takes courage to lean on another.
It takes strength to love,
It takes courage to be loved.
It takes strength to survive,
It takes courage to live.

Cute Image
I love this image, which you can find at I love Doodle and you can get it on a t-shirt from Threadless.
Red Rock Deli Chips
I love the new(ish) Red Rock Deli chip flavours.
The Vintage Cheddar and Onion is my favourite - think gourmet cheese and onion chips. The cheese is a nice strong flavour and is well balanced with the onion.
In the past I have really enjoyed the Morrocan Chicken flavour too - somehow spicy, but with a touch of lime all in one chip.
Although they can be a bit expensive compared to other crisps, they are a totally different experience. Buy when on sale and for a change from your regular chips- especially if you want something a little more fancy.
Oh damn, now I have cravings for chips (again).

Crumpled and Dirty
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked,
"Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up.
He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this.
He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
Still the hands were up in the air.
Well, he replied, "What if I do this?"
And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty.
"Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.
" Well, my friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20"
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who love you.

You Dont Have To Believe Me
I really love the song You Dont Have to Believe Me by Eric Hutchinson.
I thought his album Sounds Like This was awesome, and i thought most of the songs were great, but I like the sentiment in this one (and the tune is great too).
I find this particular song really catchy and constantly get it stuck in my head - I also cant help bursting into song when it comes on (despite not doing it any justice).
I think these lines are great
"You don't have to believe me when I tell you that i'm impressed
but you sure better believe me when I say you deserve the best"
"You don't have to believe me when i tell you i like your dress
but you sure better believe me when i say you deserve respect"
"You don't have to believe me when you're shaking what you got
but you sure better believe me when i tell you your mind's what's hot"
