For today and its blessings, I owe the world an attitude of gratitude.
~Clarence E. Hodges
I've learned that when someone is looking sad,
or says something bad happened, never say,
"What's the matter?" or "What's wrong?"
Always say, "Do you want to talk about it? I'm here for you."
~Anon. Age 14
From Live and Learn and Pass it On
Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to
watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know
everything there is to be known.

Enjoy the little things, for one day, you may look back and discover

Have courage for the great sorrows of life, and patience for the small
ones. When you have laboriously accomplished your daily tasks, go to
sleep in peace. God is awake.

We live in deeds, not years; In thoughts not breaths; In feelings, not
in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs.

sometimes when you least expect it.

You! One of a kind. Rarest of the rare. A priceless treasure, possessed
of qualities in mind and speech and movement and appearance and actions
as no other who has ever lived, lives, or shall live.
Why have you valued yourself in pennies when you are worth a king's
ransom?
Why did you listen to those who demeaned you ... and far worse, why did
you believe them?
~Og Mandino
Stress is basically a disconnection from the earth, a forgetting of the
breath. Stress is an ignorant state. It believes that everything is an
emergency. Nothing is that important. Just lie down.
~Natalie Goldberg
A year from now you will wish you had started today.
~Karen Lamb
If you can't fly, then run. If you can't run, then walk. If you can't
walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, keep moving.
~Martin Luther King, Jr
Fear less, hope more;
eat less, chew more;
whine less, breathe more;
talk less, say more;
hate less, love more;
and all good things are yours.
~Swedish proverb
Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family:
Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.
~Jane Howard
There is always something to do. There are hungry people to feed, naked
people to clothe, sick people to comfort and make well. And while I
don't expect you to save the world; I do think it's not asking too much
for you to love those with whom you sleep, share the happiness of those
whom you call friend, engage those among you who are visionary and
remove from your life those who offer you depression, despair and
disrespect.
~Nikki Giovanni
