"Today is a most unusual day, because we have never lived it before; we will never live it again; it is the only day we have." 

William Arthur Ward

A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic...

Look to this Day

Look to this day, for it is life,

The very life of life,

In its brief course lies all the realities

And verities of existence:

The bliss of growth, the splendor of action,

The glory of power."

For yesterday is but a dream

And tomorrow is only a vision.

But today, well lived, makes every yesterday

A dream of happiness!

And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore, to this day!

Sanskrit Proverb

From the Quote of the Week Files; July 18, 2016

Pain | Beauty​

“Pain is a pesky part of being human, I’ve learned it feels like a stab wound to the heart, something I wish we could all do without, in our lives here. Pain is a sudden hurt that can’t be escaped. But then I have also learned that because of pain, I can feel the beauty, tenderness, and freedom of healing. Pain feels like a fast stab wound to the heart. But then healing feels like the wind against your face when you are spreading your wings and flying through the air! We may not have wings growing out of our backs, but healing is the closest thing that will give us that wind against our faces.” 

C. JoyBell C.

From the Quote of the Week Files; July 11, 2016

“You are much more than your mistakes, much bigger than your failures and much more beautiful than your ugliest moment. The stumbles we experience in life may shame us or humble us with valuable tough lessons but they will never define who we truly are. No matter your mistake…it’s important to remember that You are someone’s light in the darkness; a beacon of love and hope and that should ALWAYS supersede the superficial imperfections we erroneously internalize.

Not Sure? From the Quote of the Week Files, June 20, 2016

Not Sure?

It is a Part of LIfe.

“Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark.”

Agnes De Mille

Life Changing Events; From the Quote of the Week Files; June 13, 2016

Thinking about some Life Changing Events I've witnessed this past week

“There is a club in this world that you do not join knowingly.

One day you are just a member.

It is “The life changing events club.”

The fee to join the club is hurt beyond belief, payable in full, up front for a lifetime membership.

The benefit of the club is a new found perspective on life, and a deep understanding that you may not be happy about your current situation, but you can be happy in your current situation.

The only rule to the club is that you cannot tell anyone that you are a member.

The club does not provide a directory of its members, but when you look into a member’s eye, you can tell that they too are part of the club. Members are allowed to exchange that brief eye contact that says: “I didn’t know.”

Being a member of this club is the last thing that anyone initially wants in their life.

Being a member of this club is the best thing that ever happens to a person in their life, and there is not a person in the club that would ever give up their membership.

If you really look and know what you are looking for you can spot the clubs members; they are the ones that provide a random act of kindness and do something for someone who can never repay them for what they have done. They are the people spreading joy and optimism and lifting people’s spirits even when their own heart has been broken.

I have paid my dues; my lifetime membership arrived today, not by mail, but by a deep inner feeling that I cannot describe.

It is the best club that I never wanted to be part of. 

But I am glad that I am a member.”

The Heart beats Twice; From the Quote of the Week Files, June 6, 2016

The heart Beats Twice

“The rhythm of the heart...beats twice. Thump, thump. Once, first for itself and then once again for the rest of the body. It's a true metaphor for us. Like the heart we must pump life giving love and care for ourselves first, before extending that gift out to others. The heartbeat of every worthwhile relationship begins with a healthy, humble understanding and appreciation of our own personal self worth. When we do this the power to truly love and appreciate others pulsates fluidly and freely into all those we warmly choose to share our lives with.” 

Jason Versey, A Walk with Prudence

A Memorial Day Quote; From the Quote of the Week Files, May 30, 2016

It's Memorial Day in America

Originally called Decoration Day, from the early tradition of decorating graves with flowers, 

wreaths and flags, Memorial Day in America is a day for remembrance of those who have died in service to our country.

_____

Go ye to the graves and decorate,

Place flags for boys who have died;

Kneel down and say prayers for your loved ones,

But know they're still by your side!

Gertrude Tooley Buckingham, "Memorial Day—1945"

On Perseverace; From the Quote of the Week Files; May 23, 2016

On Perseverance

“I knew, somehow, that I had to stay alive. Somehow. I had to keep breathing. Even though there was no reason to hope. And all my logic said that I would never see this place again. So that’s what I did. I stayed alive. I kept breathing. And one day my logic was proven all wrong because the tide came in, and gave me a sail. And now, here I am. I’m back. In Memphis, talking to you. I have ice in my glass… And I’ve lost her all over again. I’m so sad that I don’t have Kelly. But I’m so grateful that she was with me on that island. And I know what I have to do now.

I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring? ”

From the end of the Tom Hanks movie, Cast Away,

explaining how he stayed alive and got off the island
