Words to Ponder

“Life is amazing. And then it is awful. And then it is amazing again.

And in between the amazing and the awful, it is ordinary and mundane and routine.

Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary.

That is just living: heart breaking, soul healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life.

And it is breathtakingly beautiful!

We thank God for today. It is a new day and we are healthy!”

– Unknown

“To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;

To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others;

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”

– Ralph Waldo Emerson
