    "When you get into a tight place and
    everything goes against you until it seems that you cannot
    hold on for a minute longer, never give up then, for that is
    just the place and time that the tide will turn." ~ Harriet
    Beecher Stowe.

    I heard a quote from Sir Winston Churchill that I also liked, "When you are in hell, just keep on going."

    I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
    Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
    Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
    And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance...

    I hope you dance…

    From the song "I Hope You Dance"
    As performed by Lee Ann Womack

    No man or women is worth your tears,and the one who is, won't make you cry.

    Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

    A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

    The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.

    Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.

    Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.

    Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

    Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.

    Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them.

    "Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but how we react to what happens; not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life.

    A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst ... a spark that creates extraordinary results."

    Inspiration is a fragile thing... just a breeze, touching the green foliage of a city park, just a whisper from the soul of a friend. Just a line of verse clipped from some book.

    Inspiration... who can say where it is born, and why it leaves us? Who can tell the reasons for its being or not being? Only this... I can think. Inspiration comes from the Heart of Heaven to give the lift of wings, and the breath of divine music to those of us who are earthbound.

    Margaret Sangster

    Wishing you all a peaceful night! xoxo,Patti image

    I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

    The road to sucess is not straight.There is a curve called Failure, a loop called confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called JESUS, you will make it to a place called Success.
