On Friendship and Listening...

“Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person;

having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words,

but to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together,

knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them,

keep what is worth keeping, and then,

with a breath of kindness,

blow the rest away.”

Dinah Maria Mulock Craik

 Just be Grateful!

You cannot be grateful and bitter.

You cannot be grateful and unhappy.

You cannot be grateful without hope.

You cannot be grateful and unloving.

So just be grateful.

 It's the start of a new week, which means it's time to shake off your weekend, take a deep breath and try to think positive, energizing thoughts. 

Perhaps the Quote of the Week can help!!

_____

Choose Wisely

Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. 

Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. 

Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. 

Whatever choice you make makes you. 

Choose wisely.”

 Be Present in the Present

“If you must look back, do so forgivingly. 

If you must look forward, do love prayerfully. 

However, the wisest thing you can do is be 

present in the present…

Gratefully.” 

Maya Angelou
