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."

I coined a new one of my own from that gun advertisement, and it is"
"You can have my spatula and my power tools when you pry them from my cold dead fingers."
...as my elderly neighbours used to say and chuckle over; that they never buy green bananas!!!

Frances,
What do you imagine your neighbor thinks "carpe diem" means?
Her reaction is really, really funny/odd.
