it's tuesday again, and we have many new opportunities to use the energy we've been given for making our own lives and those of others just a bit more positive. we don't have to save the world to brighten a few lives-as a matter of fact, our chances of being able to save the world are pretty slim, but the chances of brightening someone's day are pretty good!
Here's our quotation:
Time mellows people as it mellows wine, as long as the grapes are good. You may set out to be a businesswoman or businessman but in the course of time end up caring for a dying parent, orphaned niece, or disabled brother. You may encounter illness yourself and end up being a writer, touching the heartstrings, not the purse strings of other people. That's why it's best to always be true to yourself and God and to be flexible within his will. He will use you.
Barbara Johnson
And our general quotation:
Have you ever watched small children playing alone in a room? They will talk to themselves, and they will answer. They will dress themselves up. They sing and dance. A small child in a room all alone can have a marvelous time entertaining him or herself. Children can do this not only because they have an innocence that helps them to rise above the cares of the world; they don't mind being alone with their thoughts and dreams. They don't mind acting out their fantasies. They can live their lives beyond the expectations of others. In a room all alone, children have no inhibitions. They have nothing to prove and no one to satisfy but themselves. They feel free! They are unencumbered by opinions and directives. It happens because nobody is watching them.
Live your life like nobody is watching you.

And our quick thought of the day:
I don't want to be a passenger in my own life.
