Do you have an inspiring or favorite quote to share?
I'll start with three quotes from the very inspiring Helen Keller as noted in "Your Year of Healing" book by Amit Sood, MD:
"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it."
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched -- they must be felt with the heart."
"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."

Today I'm doing nothing. I started it yesterday and I'm not done yet and I'm not a quitter.

1 ReactionHope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all..... -----Emily Dickinson
Happy Independence Day!

5 ReactionsI love this short poem by the great hymn writer, Fanny Crosby that was written when she was only 8 years old. She went on to write over 8,000 hymns. She was blinded at 6 weeks of age due to an eye infection and medical ignorance. She never let this hinder her and what an attitude! This poem she wrote rebukes my own heart. May it bless you as it has me! I have this posted in the front of my Bible.
Oh, what a happy soul I am!
Although I cannot see,
I am resolved that in this world
Contented I will be.
How many blessings I enjoy
That other people don’t!
To weep and sigh because I’m blind,
I cannot, nor I won’t!

2 ReactionsThat was a good quote when I posted it on June 24, and it remains a good quote today. I received that advice upon my grammar school graduation, and I have never forgotten it. It actually came from a 13-year-old boy, a classmate. Maybe he saw it elsewhere and was wise enough to repeat it. Or maybe he was already wise beyond his years. It just goes to show that wisdom can begin in childhood. Which reminds me of my June 25 quote by William Wordsworth, "The child is the father of the man".
