Quote For Today
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.
Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach. ~Elizabeth Barrett Browning
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
--- Frank Herbert
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can
be done without hope and confidence.
- Helen Keller
Life certainly can bring many challenges to us, but I have felt it's in the valleys where we grow the most. We find out what we are made of during our trials. As I create this blog, my mom is in the hospital due to an issue with walking. She is a diabetic, and had no pulse in her foot. So she is facing some very tough decisions today. She had undergone surgery this past year, and I know she is growing weary. My mom also has COPD which means she has breathing difficulties on top of all of this so surgery can be very risky for her. Every year around this time she seems to end up on the hospital, but usually it's due to her breathing issues.
For those of you facing difficulties today, I would tell you to just keep the faith and focus on the love not the fears. Each day is such a precious gift even when it's one of those days challenging our minds and spirit. Stay positive and believe in your ability to surpass whatever you are facing. Wishing you the very best! Serenity Star *always a phone call away
