Of your quotes, I am most drawn to your first.
To join in, here are a few grabbed from my pinterest board:
"If you're always racing to the next moment, what happens to the one you're in?"
"What we see depends mainly on what we look for." - John Lubbock
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou
LAP, we just talked about that last quote of Maya Angelou's last night in class, discussing customer service in the hospital. It is SO true.
The "be kind..." quote is the one that hits close to home for me. I try to LIVE this quote; there is nothing like taking care of the sick, the dying, the hopeless, and their families to truly humble a person and make you realize how blessed your own life is. I have always said it doesn't cost anything to be kind, but the way some people behave, you would think it does...
I love the quotes on Pinterest!
What inspirational, touching quotes!
As always, I'm grateful for you and your bloggy cheerleading. I hope you'll find a way to keep up with the posting. Love the quotes.
I'm guessing the daily posting got to be too much since the last post I can find is Thursday hehehe. There's a darn good reason why I didn't sign up for the challenge! Too much pressure.
Here are a few favorites from my Pinterest Board:
"You are not the mistakes you have made"
"Chin up Butter Cup"
"Good Moms have sticky floors, dirty ovens, and happy kids"
"You can't buy happiness, but you can buy ice cream. And that's kind of the same thing" <--personal favorite, though I would replace "ice cream" with Frosty.
