From the Quote of the Weeks Files; Novemeber 5, 2012

Welcome to the Quote of the Week. As most of you know, the northeast was pounded last week by Hurricane Sandy.

Fortunately, I was very lucky as I was not impacted that much but I am still at a loss of words as I try to process the enormous amount of destruction that this hurricane wrought to the homes of family and friends and to the surrounding towns near where I live. And as I watch the news, It is impossible to imagine the devastation brought to so many lives throughout the northeast.

A continuing lesson for me is the acceptance of that I can only control so much in life ~ my actions and reactions. Everything else, such as nature, is up to the powers that Be.

"That was rough.... Thing to do now is try and forget it.... I guess I don't quite mean that.  It's not a thing you can forget.  Maybe not even a thing you want to forget.... Life's like that sometimes... Now and then for no good reason a man can figure out, life will just haul off and knock him flat, slam him agin' the ground so hard it seems like all his insides is busted.  But it's not all like that.  A lot of it's mighty fine, and you can't afford to waste the good part frettin' about the bad.  That makes it all bad.... Sure, I know - sayin' it's one thing and feelin' it's another.  But I'll tell you a trick that's sometimes a big help.  When you start lookin' around for something good to take the place of the bad, as a general rule you can find it."

A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic...

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not... nothing is more common than unsuccessful people will talent.
Genius will not... unrewarded genius is almost legendary.
Education will not.... the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

Calvin Coolidge
