The world can be cold- and we get so wrapped up in the everyday that we don't have time for those who make us feel good-take the time to embrace those that give that feeling to you and enjoy the warmth----

“If we could look into each other’s hearts and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.”

If you have the chance to make people happy, just do it.
Sometimes people are struggling silently.
Maybe, your act of kindness can make their day.

Talked about this with a forum member a week ago. Choose to be interactive with people when you are out.
Did it today at a local sandwich shop and learned the woman behind the counter had her 18yo daughter working with her. First year college student and piano player. First family member to go to college. Younger son also a musician and plays at church. We were both smiling as I left. Can't wait to check in with them again soon.

I would rather see questions that can’t be answered than answers that can’t be questioned

You never really know the true impact you have on those around you. You never know how much someone needed that smile you gave them. You never know how much your kindness turned someone's entire life around. You never know how much someone needed that long hug or deep talk.
So don't wait to be kind. Don't wait for someone else to be kind first. Don't wait for better circumstances or for someone to change. Just be kind, because you never know how much someone needs it.

Marcus Aurelius once said: (As true today as it was then)
1. “You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”
2. “Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them. Think constantly on the changes of the elements into each other, for such thoughts wash away the dust of earthly life.”
3. “The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.”
4. “Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.”
5. “Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.”
6. “If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.”
7. “When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love…”
8. “The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.”
9. “The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.”
10. “Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.”
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone !

Courage isn’t having the strength to. Go on…it is going on when you don’t have the strength.

My son posted this on his 21st birthday…… 13 years ago…. Truth….
A quote from my son's page- he is 21 today and this shows a little piece of who he is-
"An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind." -
Siddhārtha Gautama

Since it’s also his birthday I offer you this quote from Horace ( born December 8 , 65 BC)
“Dare to be wise; begin! He who postpones the hour of living rightly is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses. “

He is a good husband to his wife…. opens doors….helps with the house and etcetera…..never wanted children until he met her …. He stated..
”The world needs more Vicki (his wife) in it….”
If his Mom would need anything he would be sure she was taken care of…..sent the following to me a few weeks ago…..
I don't think the world set you up to be the best parent you could be, and yet you were everything I ever needed in a mother.
Love you, mom.
I just want you to know that I appreciate all you did for me because I don't think I thank you enough.
I don't think anyone thanks you enough.
He has done some traveling …..…..Germany…..Taiwan…..Japan…..
Well rounded I think…. |

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
Helen Keller
