Rain
“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… it’s about learning to dance in the rain.”
~Vivian Greene
The rain has come to drought-parched California. So many are so grateful; so many are dealing with the aftermath of flooding. Lest we get too far ahead of ourselves, the statistical evidence is that it would take three years of this kind of weather to end the drought.
Although we are inundated by the rain, it is vital that we continue our water-wise practices.
Positive
“The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible and achieves the impossible.”
~Winston Churchill
Inside
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thanksgiving
“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”
~John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Wishing you all a peaceful and blessed day!
Life
“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
~Albert Einstein
Veteran’s Day
“Lord bid war’s trumpet cease; Fold the whole earth in peace.”
~ Oliver Wendell Holmes
I invite you to take time this week to honor our nation’s Veterans.
Mistake
“A mistake should be your teacher, not your attacker. A mistake is a lesson, not a loss. It is a temporary, necessary detour, not a dead end.”
~Unknown
Tight
“When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, until it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.”
~Harriet Beecher Stowe
Interruptions
“Interruptions can be viewed as sources of irritation or opportunities for service, as moments lost or experience gained, as time wasted or horizons widened. They can annoy us or enrich us, get under our skin or give us a shot in the arm. Monopolize our minutes or spice our schedules, depending on our attitude toward them.”
~William Arthur Ward
Certainly a perspective worth entertaining! Enjoy your week.
Today
“Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: ‘I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I am going to be happy in it.'”
~Groucho Marx
