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."

There is one thing I keep in mind and have said a couple times, that I'm not old, I've just been here longer. Clearly to someone younger of course.

When people tell me I don't act my age I tell them this age is new to me and I don't have much practice at it yet.

Hi @johnsprague. If you don't mind sharing, what is the root cause of the pain you experience?

Given to me by a recovered catatonic schizophrenic from my nursing career when I started as an aide. “ There is much comfort found in the touch of a hand. It says not aloud I have faith in you, I understand”
