Julie,
Haven't you met people like that before. I know I have and I feel sorry for then. I would rather have tried and failed rather than to not have tried at all. Misery loves company, and unfortunately I have met several people named Misery. This group is great, we vent, laugh, cry and pick ourselves right back up. I thank God that I found all of you. hugs Judy |

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind
word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. -- Leo Buscaglia

Julie,
Since I work in a hospital I see that all to often, especially with our elderly. All some of them really desire is some comfort care. That is no longer an option for the nurses since they are so overworked as it is. I have seen nurses cry because then did not have the time to just sit for a moment with a patient and do just what you said. A kind word, a touch of the hand, even a reassuring smile can put them at ease. You are so right, there is unbelievable power in the human touch. hugs, Judy |

I find that is an excellent one to summerize our reason for existance and i absolutely love it!!!!!!! But you know how the years pass and we move on or forget. I am so happy that you posted that. Again, thank you. big hugs to you, Judy |

I hope everyone posts their favorite(s) here.
I love them all and everyone has a message that speaks to all or especially to certain ones of use. There are so many profound quotes out there and some of the best were written so long ago. They must have known that we would need their keen insight in the future. I hope you are enjoying it and learning from it as much as i am, Judy :icon_wink: |

mrsd, I really got into reading Emerson about 10 years ago. Truly amazing.
I'm busy here trying to find this bookmark I have with one of my all time favourite passages on it. It's not Emerson, I think it's by that person Unknown. lol I'll post it when I either find it or remember it correctly. "What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not been discovered." R W Emerson I also love Ayn Rand... "The worst guilt is to accept an unearned guilt." Ayn Rand |

Yay, I found it.
'"Through stardust and comets and wind and bad weather, may this star that I hang in the sky stay forever!" These are the words of The Sandman as he hangs a new star each time a child is born. He positions the star in the sky, where it will stay until the end of time - right above the child's home town.' - Dean Morrissey ~Kate's Star... from the book Ship of Dreams The little bookmark shows the illustration and has the words on it. It's precious. |
