| Inspiration is a fragile thing... Just a breeze, touching the green foliage of a city park. Just a whisper from the soul of a friend. Just a line of verse clipped from some book. Inspiration... Who can say where it is born, and why it leaves us? Who can tell the reasons for its being or not being? Only this... I can think inspiration comes from the Heart of Heaven... To give the lift of wings, and the breath of divine music to those of us who are earthbound. ~Margaret Sangster |

| Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. ~Proverbs 4:23 |
| When my life has reached its very end, And I take that final breath; I want to know I've left behind, Some "good" before my death. I hope that in my final hour, In all honesty I can say: That somewhere in my lifetime, I have brightened someone's day. That maybe I have brought a smile To someone else's face, And made one moment a little sweeter While they dwelled here in this place. Lord, please be my reminder And whisper softly in my ear ... To be a "giver," not a "taker," In the years I have left here. Give to me the strength I need, Open up my mind and my soul That I might show sincere compassion, And love to others before I go. For if not a heart be touched by me, And not a smile was left behind ... Then the life that I am blessed with, Will have been a waste of time. With all my heart, I truly hope To leave something here on earth ... That touched another, made them smile And gave to my life ... worth. ~ Author Unknown |

| Vision is more than the ability to see all that surrounds you in the physical world: "Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart... Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens." ~Carl Gustav Jung, Swiss psychiatrist |

| Each day comes bearing its own gifts. Untie the ribbons. ~Ruth Ann Schabaker Greed lessens what is gathered. ~Arab proverb Be happy. It's one way of being wise. ~Colette I thank God for my handicaps, for, through them, I have found myself, my work, and my God. ~Helen Keller |

| To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony. ~William Henry Channing |
 |
| Somewhere up beyond the sky, The blanket dark that floats up high, Beyond the places we can see, I know that there's a place for me. Where no one hates or kills or cries, Where Saturn spins and magic flies, Where I can be a child again, And dream the things that I did then. ~Author Unknown |
| I'VE DREAMED MANY DREAMS I've dreamed many dreams that never came true I've seen them vanish at dawn But I've realized enough of my dreams, thank God, To make me want to dream on I've prayed many prayers when no answer came Though I waited patient and long But answers have come to enough of my prayers To make me want to keep praying on I've trusted many a friend that failed And left me to weep alone But I've found enough of my friends true blue To make me keep trusting on I've sown many seed that fell by the way For the birds to feed upon But I've held enough golden sheaves in my hands To make me keep sowing on I've drained the cup of disappointment and pain And gone many days without song But I've sipped enough nectar from the roses of life To make me want to live on. ~Author Unknown |
