I always wait for the end of the Men in Trees, I wait to hear something which will give me a strength for all week.

Doesn't matter what is it about: love, friendship, men...

If you will find some of the wise sentences, funny quotes... please share it with all.

Men in trees, s1e1

"The truest thing I know about relationships is that sometimes we don’t know anything at all. You can’t always get the one you want. And sometimes the one you get isn’t the right one at all. But if you have hope, the universe has a funny way of showing you exactly what you need.
The challenge is to let yourself be alone until the right one shows up. But you can’t hide either. Heart break sucks. But not having heart break sucks more. Trust the process. If you get yourself happy, you’ll find the right one. I believe this because against all odds, I am an optimist. And until every one of you finds the person you really want, I will be that optimist for you. I know it’s hard.
Some days you’ll want to kill yourself. But that’s the thing about love... if it were that easy, everyone would have it."

The valentines are coming. For every single heart. This is what Marin said.

"One of the hardest things about being single is the believing that you're worth something alone.
Too many single people sell themselves short.
Maybe there's a real value to figuring out who we are alone because we can't invest in someone really special... until we invest in ourselves.

Maybe being alone isn't something to be suffered through. Maybe it's something to celebrate. ... and sometimes the universe celebres with you.

And just because you don't have someone to share the celebration with, doesn't make it less beautiful."

Marin waits w/friends...  we know from spoilers that Jack won't be gone forever...  for now, Marin is havin a "singles" Valentines and every other time...  with all the guys wantin to be with her...

For every single heart. This is what Marin said.

M - Thanks.
J - What, for punching him?
M - For saying it was real.

Sometimes, it's not until a storm comes that things get unearthed. We get to see what's underneath.
The dark secrets and the truths that in the light of day we keep hidden. for some, the truth will make them feel closer.
For others, it will make them more alone. Pain will get uprooted. some pain still too deep to be seen by human eyes.
But in time, as we replant ourselves, we will be thankful. Because, like the roots of a tree, it is what lies beneath that allows us to grow. together or apart.

Good day, Elmo.
My partner and I were just talking about dreams.
I don't know about you, but sometimes I think dreams are the only things we have.
They help us escape the reality of our lives, but what if someone were to offer you the chance to turn things around and make a dream or two come true?
Would that be so bad? What do you think, Elmo? Is it wrong to make your fantasy a reality?

*** 

When fantasy meets reality, you never know what you're going to get.
Sometimes the reality falls just a little short of the dream... and sometimes it exceeds all expectations.
I don't argue like this with anyone... it takes courage to reveal your secret desires.
Sharing them is a gamble... that sometimes brings us closer together... and sometimes... pulls us apart.
maybe that old saying is true- "be careful what you wish for." It just might come true.

"Hello, Elmo. As most of you know, I'm waiting on Jack. And we may all need to wait on patrick.
It's his first day back on the air, so let's remember to be patient. It's a hard thing -- patience. But when something means enough to you,
whether you're waiting to regain your past or start your future, patience is going to be critical.
So, what do you think, Elmo?
What in your life's worth waiting for?"

"They say patience is a virtue... and like most virtues, we never know if we possess it until it's been tested. If we're lucky, we have someone to take that test with us. And if we can pass that test, if we can wait long enough, we just might find the reward greater than we ever expected.
The funny thing about waiting is it always seems, the more we want something...The longer we have to wait for it. Deciding to wait out the long haul shouldn't be taken lightly. But it's an easier decision to live with than others."

So I guess there's no easy way to move on from a relationship. You can't flip a switch and suddenly be over it...because the road really is full of hidden potholes. You can try staying in the relationship. You can stay home and dream of the perfect, unobtainable one. But in the end, it just takes time and some alaskan tap water... and the help of a town full of good men. Thanks for sleeping with me, elmo.

"The thing about a missed connection is once you have realize you missed it, it is already gone.You cant go back in time and make it all better, all you can do is move forward and try your best to make new memories to overtake the old once, kiss new people to overtake your old fears and sometimes if you are very lucky the old people can become new again, everything comes into focus and you can imagine what your future could be until the past comes back and knocks you off your feet."

I searched for that... i watched this episode today...

so my question to you:

What do you think... what do we need to overtake the old memories and to move forward?

MIT S2E10

"Regret is a funny thing. You try your best in life to avoid it, but sometimes, it's the hard things in life that teach us the most...Which makes you wonder. If given the chance, how many of us would do things differently? For some, regret is the very thing that helps us push past our fear and move into the future. For others, it's the thing that allows us to re-explore our past. At its best, regret can be the catalyst for a new beginning... You'll find that life is still worthwhile Where anything and everything is still possible."

MIT s2e9

"When Alaska was just a land of trees, tribes created community through barter beads for a fur,a canoe for a cow. Trading partners became friends. Friends became family. As far as I can tell, not much has changed up here. We're still giving and receiving -- an equal trade. When the system is working, both sides come away happy neither feeling like they've compromised but rather, getting something better in the deal. In those moments,we are just a community of people sharing... proving every day that it can be just as fulfilling to give as to receive... And sometimes, just as hard."

On Barbara Walter's pre-Oscar special, she kept hammering, as is her way, on Vanessa Williams' past, and I was very moved by the answer Williams gave to her & how she got her to stop asking the same questions in different words. Personally, it was meaningful to me to think about having to reach a point where you simply accept things, but accept them as a part of your past, and then move on.

Good day, Elmo. Or should i say good night?
I don't know about you, but this shortest day of the year has me completely turned around.
I'm having a hard time finding my way through the dark.
How do you guys do it? How do you see things clearly on your darkest day?

We're all a little in the dark when it comes to love. Sometimes you have to run away from it to see it clearly. And sometimes you have to come home to try it again. The optimists know that there is an endless amount of love to go around. The others of us can only hope we are not the ones left without a seat when the music stops. Even when you get what you want, at best, love is a shot in the dark. The chance to illuminate things about yourself you didn't know...
Like that you're not over someone yet. Or that maybe you will be after a very long, very dark night.

At sometime I lost company with  Misery and don't want Misery to find me again.  Misery was like a rock that weighed me down... 

For Marin the rock was the "Cranky" Rock and a bag full of other rocks and the "Jack" rock... 

Marin didn't get to throw her rock off a mountain because there was a mountain.  The rock was part of a journey.  On that journey, she lost a friend, a fiance, a friend/lover, her home in New York and her "crowd" there, even her clothes.  Then she had to lose bein "Cranky" about losin.  I had to lose the "Misery" of losin...

So, still no mountain.  Marin had to gain all that she had lost.  Then lose bein "Cranky" about what she had lost.  She gained a new home, friends, Cash and then she began to desire to lose "Cranky" and take a walk in the woods and a climb up a tree. That meant she gained a Guru.  A Guru who found her sick with "Crankiness".  Getting rid of it would not be easy.  First her rocks of all that made her "Cranky" was Very Heavy.  Then, she had to carry it all by herself and climb a mountain to throw all that made her "Cranky" away.  Her journey started by leaving New York to make a new home in Alaska.  That's a long way to find a mountain.  Most of her rocks she threw away on the mountain.  The rocks that were the hardest to throw away, included "Jacks'" Rock...  Jacks' rock she took all the way to the top of the mountain before she could throw it away.  Not the end of it...  Suddenly she was lost without Jack and Jack was there as her friend when she needed him.  This allowed them to see how they had not lost all and allow for less crankiness and thankfullness.  It was Thanksgiving when all seemed lost.  They were able to save the best and lose the rest.

Maybe your Mountain isn't close, but to climb it isn't supposed to be easy.  It is not the mountain or the rock that is hard to find.  What is hard to find is the desire to actually throw away all that makes one "Cranky" and "Miserable" so that one can save the best and lose the rest.
