BP - I also love Mother Teresa and I think that we can all smile when someone so close to God can say - I wish he didn't trust me so much.

quotes from a poet -ella wheeler wilcox
 

Be alive, from crown to toe. Breathe deeply, filling every cell of the lungs for at least five minutes, morning and night, and when you draw in long, full breaths, believe you are inhaling health, wisdom and success.

Anticipate good health. If it does not come at once, consider it a mere temporary delay, and continue to expect it.

Regard any physical ailment as a passing inconvenience, no more.

Never for an instant believe you are permanently ill or disabled.
