Why am I writing about this? I often read friends quotes on their blogs. I just love them and think geez, where do people find all these wonderful quotes? I wish I could just pull a few out of the back of my head. So I was thinking. This was one that came to mind. And its from this movie.... But by a famous poet.
"I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
without ever having felt sorry for itself"
D.H Lawrence
I don't know what it was about this poem that really gets me; that has me remembering it a decade later. But I know through a lot of hard times I thought of this and knew it could be worse. It also helped me to push harder, to quit complaining and to know I could do better, do more, and be positive. It inspired me. Cheer's to poetry, and quotes!

..and it was 11 years ago when you read me some of your personal poems that you had written in your little book....that was the moment when I was able to see deep into your heart and fall completely in love with you...i remember it like it was yesterday...cheers to your poetry that you haven't written in a long time :(
I remember this writer and poem from school. It sends goosebumps up my arm. That quote slaps you with truth. I love it. It reminds me to never stop growing, never stop doing. It is when we edge toward being docile, in a rut, and static that we begin to feel sorry for ourselves. So yes be wild and celebrate.
