Reasons

I am happy today because:
I read "The Beauty of Different: Observations of a Confident misfit" by Karen Walrond.

Some delightful and wholly useful quotes found within her book:
"There's no such thing as an uncreative person. There's just someone who clings to a narrow definition of "creativity"."
~"The beauty of different: observations of a confident misfit" by Karen Walrond

"Beauty appears when something is completely and absolutely and openly itself"
~Deena Metzger

"Do the things you fear, and the death of fear is certain"
~as quoted in "The Beauty of different: Observations of a Confident Misfit" by Karen Walrond

"I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life-and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do"
~Georgia O'Keefe

"imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it is better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring"
~Marilyn Monroe

"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience"
~Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
