Today's post was inspired by a quote that I received via email....
"Life is thickly sown with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes,the greater is their power to harm us. "
Francois-Marie Arouet
(He was the French writer and philosopher who we all know as Voltaire.)
Don't know about you but with everything going on in the world these days kind of sums it up, doesn't it? Financial crisis, devastating losses with the hurricane and yes, even the freak show we call an election...
Oh, the quote... it was written in 1732. Guess we've all been puttin' up with a lot of "stuff" for a long time. But in the end we somehow manage to muddle our way into the clear. Perhaps we would all be better served by turning off the talking heads this weekend, and really enjoying the ones around us that we love. Just a thought.
Til next time...
