    I’ve had my moments. And if I had it to do again, I’d have more of them.
    Just moments. One after another. Instead of living so many years ahead of
    each day.

    God hath not promised
    skies always blue,
    Flower-strewn pathways
    all our lives through;
    God hath not promised
    sun without rain,
    joy without sorrow,
    peace without pain.

    BUT God hath promised
    STRENGTH for the day,
    REST for the labor,
    LIGHT for the way,
    GRACE for the trials,
    HELP from above,
    UNFAILING sympathy,
    UNDYING LOVE ...

    "The majority of us lead quiet, unheralded lives as we pass through this world. There will most likely be no ticker-tape parades for us, no monuments created in our honor.
    But that does not lessen our possible impact, for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give.
    Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have a potential to turn a life around. It's overwhelming to consider the continuous opportunities there are to make our love felt."

    Thanks Cherie great to be back .

    THE TAO OF SUCCESS

    Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence.
    Talent will not; nothing is more commonplace then unsuccessful men with talent.
    Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
    Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
    Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent...Calvin Coolidge

    Love and hugs to all MJB(Marilyn)

    Great quote Catherine!!

    Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.
