Do you have an inspiring or favorite quote to share?

Posted by Zebra @californiazebra, Jun 21, 2023

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."

Your husband sounds lovely...and brilliant too.
I miss my days with the law firm. "They were the best of days, they were the worst of days".

And they were your most appealing and busy days?

And my husband had a laugh at that which he has heard througout his career. Thanks artist01.

My current husband was Lead Councel for Slumberjey (SP?) and traveled with world and had over 100 attorneys reporting to him. He is a fine "gentleman", honorable, kind, generous et al.

Yikes. It's Slumbergey. Can't spell OR argue being married to an attorney twice! Good Greif but they each got an earful during any disputes as does anyone with whom I hardely disagree.

It is my most desired wish that in the Winter of our lives can be heightened by someone we love and adore and that we will not be alone. We shall cross that bridge one day and meet all of our loved ones human, canine, feline, etc. That is my wish.

I am going die trying as well and that also goes for those of us who are true "Ladies" with regard to our appearances, fashions, ettiquette and attitude. Never give in and never give up. That's me.

@artist01 and @olderdiva12345 you both have hilarious senses of humor! You are like two happy legal eagles.
Which reminds of the friendly law adage:
Old lawyers never die. They just lose their appeal.

Oh, that's a good one! 😆
Love it!! I also like the song with the line,
"Those were the best of days, we thought they'd never end..."
(I hope I got that right.)
Sigh.

Sung by Mary Hopkin....that the one?

… Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way

- how true, looking back on our lives.... J.

@lacy2. Ah, yes, Valerie, that's the song I so dreadfully misquoted! Lol
I'm going to write down the wording you posted so I can go around singing to myself! (Nobody else would want to hear me try to hold a tune but I love to sing anyway. I used to have a parrot that loved my singing too.)
Thanks a million. Warmest Wishes Laurie
