Butterfly Quotes

On a serious note.... When I made the life changing decision to become single after 26 years, I found myself gravitating towards butterflies.  I have always loved them ( my favorite color periwinkle is the color of the small butterflies I used to chase in my back yard as a child), but I never wore them or decorated with them.  Then, one day I decided to purchased a sterling silver butterfly ring to wear and look at during a challenging time.
  It was to remind me that this change was going to take me from a caterpillar to a butterfly... to a place where I could finally spread my wings and fly in any direction of my choice.  Strange thing is.... The butterfly ring fell off my finger and was lost just a few days after I no longer needed it.  The reason I am bringing this up is that tonight, I came across some butterfly quotes I had saved on my computer, remembered what I had endured, and thought some of you might like to read them.
