Quotes From Thyme and Again


"A good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often, dream big, laugh a lot, and realize how blessed you are." ~Unattributed

"At some point you have to realise that some people can stay in your heart, but not in your life." ~Unattributed

"Allow yourself to hope, to believe and to trust again. Don't let a few bad memories stop you from having a good life now. " ~Unattributed

"Although gold dust is precious, when it gets in your eyes it obstructs your vision. Without balance in other parts of our lives (relationships, personal time, health), external or professional goals may blind us to the things that really matter." ~Unattributed

"Be kind to yourself. Be kind to others. Sometimes when we’re feeling fragile we forget that we’re not exclusively entitled to feelings of vulnerability, so please remember you’re not the only one with problems, everyone has their share of ‘stuff’ to deal with. Whilst you’re feeling fragile, bear in mind that empathy, compassion and kindness can, and should co-exist." ~Unattributed

"'Examine what you tolerate....'
Thought provoking, I'm interested what you'll see.. maybe a reflection of self esteem, compassion, patience, attitude, special circumstances, level of understanding; I wonder. I think I have learnt to be more tolerant in many ways, yet certainly less in others. while I hope I am a kinder, more understanding, forgiving, more compassionate, considerate version of my younger self; I know that certain people/situations get much less airtime, and I often find myself delivering a sometimes polite yet often very direct message and really not caring if someone doesn't like how I see things." ~Thyme and Again

"Find someone who makes you realize three things; one, that home is not a place, but a feeling. Two, that time is not measured by a clock, but by moments. And three, that heartbeats are not heard, but felt and shared." ~Unattributed

"I'm not sure we can choose to 'not care', but I do think that sometimes we have to let our brain keep our heart in check as a self-preservation tactic. When our emotions are tempted to let someone trample all over us, we should just check in to that place in our hearts, that loves us enough to be strong and walk away, even when it hurts short term, to save a bigger hurt long term. Have courage, protect your precious heart." ~Unattributed

"I choose..
to live by choice, not by chance;
 to make changes, not excuses; 
to be motivated, not manipulated;
 to be useful, not used;
to excel, not compete;
 I choose self esteem, not self pity. 
I choose to listen to my inner voice, 
not the random opinion of others."
~Thyme and Again

"In life you're going to be left out, talked about, lied to, and used, but you have to decide who's worth your tears, and your loyalty and who's not. Its a shame to waste your love and energy, so save it for the loyal, trustworthy, loving, kind, caring souls you will meet along the way, save it for the ones who truly deserve it." ~Unattrubted

"In quiet places reason abounds." ~Thyme and Again

Let’s try to remember this next time we feel the need to argue our point and be right." ~Anon

"We all have a story we will never tell. Some are too painful, some are just ridiculous, some we are ashamed of, and some don't seem to matter. Yet all our stories create us through the experiences we've weathered, the lessons we've learned, and the characters we met along the way may or may not realise the impact they've had upon our existence. Maybe we should tell more stories, to share that we're not alone in our struggles, to extend the encouragement we have found along the way to becoming who we are, and the hope of where we intend to go. Life is a struggle, but we're here to help each other, and maybe our stories are just another way we can hold out our hands." ~Unattributed

"You cannot heal a heart with the same hands that broke it, stop tracing blood trails back to the past expecting to find love in the same places it died." ~from Thyme and Again

"You don't measure love in time,
you measure love in transformation
sometimes the longest connections
yield very little growth,
while the briefest encounters
change everything.
The heart doesn't wear a watch, its timeless.
It doesn't care how long you know someone
what it cares about is resonance.
Resonance that opens it,
resonance that enlivens it,
resonance that calls it home.
And when it finds it,
the transformation begins."
~Thyme and Again

"You must listen to your heart and follow it, or it will find a million ways to remind you that there is something missing." ~Unattributed by Thyme and Again
