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."

If wisdom's ways you wisely seek, Five things observe with care: To whom you speak, Of whom you speak, And when, and why, and where.
I love that quote!
Here's one I like: "Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions. " Oliver Wendell Holmes
“If God had intended us to drink beer, He would have given us stomachs.”
That 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".
If you’re feeling low, don’t despair. The sun has a sinking spell every night, but it comes back up every morning. --Dolly Parton
"Nothing Tastes as Good as Healthy Feels"
Copied from my diabetes FB group. Anyone who has trouble staying away from junk food will understand this.
Sorry for the repeat, I was not in the group then. And it still is a good idea.
@captboat Thanks for joining in!
A famous person said: "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you always got."
It sure can't hurt to do repeat posts! Saves us all from scrolling back- haha!
These are great! I've written a lot of them into my wire bound index card booklet that I read when I need inspiration/motivation, etc.
I'm putting the food one/ eat healthy on a post-it note and sticking it where I can see it from my couch-- that's where I snack the most! Maybe I'll put one on the fridge door, too!
Thanks, everyone!
