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."

...oh have not seen/read this one for a long time... I am a chatterbox so "all doubt" is removed quite quickly 🙂 Reminds me of another: "still waters run deep" J.

2 ReactionsI like this one and have heard it before. Another Chinese proverb I like is: Turn your tongue sever times before you speak".

3 Reactions... good one: how many times over the years have we had to "bite our tongue" (ie. not say what is going through our mind/s).... but sometimes it's hard not to: sometimes deciding when to speak up and when to shut up is hard and a decision has to be made quickly 🙂

2 ReactionsEven though I "preach" this. I am one to think about what I WANT to say and then say it. I am a sticker for what's right and what's wrong and do not mince my words. I am mature enough to do what ever I want and to say whatever I believe...and do.

1 ReactionOh! OK. I sometimes don't say what is on my mind even though I feel my opinion is right, especially if I think ahead and it may upset the person I am chatting with .... guess it's a quick double-check - but I have been guilty of saying what "I" think is right, when really it is only MY opinion of myself and my beliefs 🙂 When I am truly convinced about something I can also speak up it's not a question for me whether at almost 80 I have yet matured!

3 ReactionsI have a few more today:
"No one is as old as those who have outlived enhusiam". --- Henry David Thoreau
"You know you've reached middle age when you're cautioned to slow down by your doctor, instead of the police". Joan Rivers
My mother always used to say, "he older you get, the better you get. Unless you're a banana" - Betty White.
That's all for today, folk. Have a fun day.

5 ReactionsThat would work well for us older folks. By the time we finish doing that, we’ll probably forget what we were going to say.

5 ReactionsTo lacy2. I usually preface my remarks that may be or seem to be out of line by saying: "In my opinion" or "In my humble opinion". That seems to dilute the comment.
…I call these times contemplation…gives it a nice ring.
