Encouragement can be one thing that can ground you during these trying times. With that in mind, here are some great sayings to help you feel calmer and avoid insanity during the quarantine.

1. “I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.” – Jimmy Dean

2. “The best way out is always through.” – Robert Frost

3.  “Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside of them was superior to circumstance.” – Bruce Barton

4. “Any one of us can pick up a phone and call to see how people are doing and what they might need. Not only will helping others potentially help them, but it can help us to still feel connected as well.” — Julianne Holt-Lunstad, Brigham Young University

5. "Everything you do has an impact. Who you are – that you are – actually matters. In an interconnected world (the only kind we have), our actions and the actions of others are inextricably linked- we are always and forever in a dance of mutual influence with those with whom we directly and indirectly participate. It is the unavoidable reality of being social creatures, only magnified by an ever-increasingly complex and interwoven societal structure. We matter to each other.” — Paul Greiner

6. "And you ask 'What if I fall?' Oh but my darling, what if you fly?" - Erin Hanson

7. "Courage, dear heart." - C. S. Lewis

8. "Life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it." - Charles Swindoll

9. "If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces, never be afraid to pick one of those pieces up and begin again." - Flavia

10. "This too shall pass." - Persian Sufi Poets

I hope these words brought some encouragement and simple joy into your life during these hard times!

Stay safe and stay at home!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
