Love
It’s difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It’s a wonder I haven’t abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.
― Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl
My thoughts exactly. I truly believe this to be so!
Today will be a GREAT day BECAUSE I said let it be so!
My Mantra for today…what do you think?
“Use what talents you possess–the woods would be very silent if no birds sand there except those that sang best.” Henry van Dyke
Why not identify our talents and use them? We do not have to do everything, but if one person follows through with their passions, dreams, and completes them while using their own God-given talents what a beautiful and wonderful world this would be.
Fork in the Road
Alice came to a fork in the road. “Which road do I take?” she asked.
“Where do you want to go?” responded the Cheshire cat.
“I don’t know,” Alice answered.
“Then,” said the cat, “it doesn’t matter.”
~Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
“non-existant, imaginary, ubiquitous in my lala land…”
Me referring to the perfect glass of wine and my molten lava cake that I am craving right now….sigh….but is merely a figment of my imagination.
“Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!”
–William Arthur Ward
Happy New Year! What are we planning on changing or enhancing to make this year better than the next?
