WEEK 15 - 27/10/11 - ENTHUSIASM

"One of the main reasons that we lose our enthusiasm in life is because we become ungrateful... we let what was once a miracle become common to us. We get so accustomed to his goodness it becomes a routine.” ― Joel Osteen

-    LORENA    - This phrase makes me think about pain and wellness, is easy to get used to feel good and don't appreciate it, until the slightest pain hits the body, then all the senses and thoughts are involved into feel better, and when achieved, easily and quickly we get used to wellness again until pain prepares a new attack to the fragile body.

-    DAPHNE    - bored, just doodling

WEEK 14 - 20/10/11 - ENTHUSIASM

"Many of the most successful men I have known have never grown up. They have retained bubbling-over boyishness. They have relished wit, they have indulged in humor. They have not allowed "dignity" to depress them into moroseness. Youthfulness of spirit is the twin brother of optimism, and optimism is the stuff of which American business success is fashioned. Resist growing up!” ― B.C. Forbes

-    LORENA    - Constant movement, playfulness, simplicity, spontaneity... all children particularities that I find fascinating.

-    DAPHNE    - so man have it all, just by staying young! right? this ring is just a little reminder... (to be worn in a visible place)

-    LORENA    - You need to find the details that touch your sensibility, that leave a mark on you, to really enjoy things and understand their purpose and beauty.

-    DAPHNE    - we sometimes only see a small detail of the bigger whole, a reflection of that what lies beyond. maybe understanding the detail makes us part of the overall.

WEEK 12 - 06/10/11 - DISAPPOINTMENT

"Look,” he said, “the point is there’s no way to be a hundred percent sure about anyone or anything. So you’re left with a choice. Either hope for the best, or just expect the worst.” If you expect the worst, you’re never disappointed,” I pointed out. Yeah, but who lives like that?" — Sarah Dessen

-    LORENA    - given the choice of looking through an object, those who are pretentious might end up getting much less than those with smaller expectations but greater curiosity.

-    DAPHNE    - you got to work with the path chosen, and whatever is in the way
