I believe there is a daily need for one to be reminded

to live a life full of hope. Favorite quotations can

be inspirational positive reinforcement,

a source of encouragement , and

great reminders.

Life's Challenges

Sometimes the world appears
 
To be spinning out of control.
 
Sometimes there seems to be no end

To the distressing news.
 
Sometimes it feels like troubles
 
Are being piled on top of troubles.
 
Sometimes it can look as if there
 
Could never be a way forward.
 
And yet, that way forward is always
 
As close as your next thought.
 
For no matter how difficult and discouraging

Life may have become, with each dawning moment,
 
A new world of positive possibilities opens up to you.
 
From the darkest depths of despair,
 
Hope does indeed grow and take flight.
 
Out of difficult situations, new strategies emerge

For creating real value and spreading life's goodness.
 
Remember that the future does not have to be
 
An extension of the past.

For you can act right now to create

That future out of the abundance of positive possibilities.
 
Life always has its challenges,
 
And those challenges are what enable you
 
To bring real value to life.

Whatever the circumstance,

Step boldly forward and

Choose to move the world positively ahead.

 ~Ralph Marston~

 

















I have received many positive comments on

how much you enjoy it when I comment on

some of the pictures I post. I will continue to

do so now when time does allow. Just a

penny for my thoughts as the saying goes.
 


Now ... below is just one of the many notes of

appreciation I receive. After you read it, you

maybe will truly understand how much your

notes and comments mean to me and how

they sure do inspire me to continue my pages.

(Name of sender deleted for privacy.)


Good Morning:  I am really enjoying your comments under the beautiful - meaningful

 - wonderful pictures that you always show.  No matter how bad I feel or how good I

 feel - your pages bring joy into my life every single day and I Thank God for you and

 the talents that you share.  Every picture from the past allows me to think of what

 might have been or what was.  I always seem to remember another time or place

 when you share these moments.  Thank You Susan for all that you bring into my life.

  I am running out of room where I tape your thoughts and sayings to one of my doors.

 I think I told you that I am living in an Assisted Care Facility and I look forward to your

 Daily Dose every day.

        I see that you say you are doing OK.  I sure hope that all your prayers (and ours)

have brought you better health and blessings into your life.  Especially, because you

 bring so much into my life.  God Bless,











MMM? I wonder just what this structure was

used for? Perhaps a roadside food stand?

The little windows at the top are

interesting ....






And if these walls could talk, would a dentist

perhaps be able to tell a story or two? Maybe a

barber? And the item on the stand to the right

of the desk, what might that be and my

goodness, it is still plugged in! This one does

have me puzzled ....

Wow, for you musicians.





Looks like this young man is spending time with

a friend. How cute!





Two words: Summer goodness





You wonder what she is thinking about? The expression

on her face does make you wonder, or perhaps she is

just concentrating on the wonder of the sand.





More Summer refreshment, ahhhh ....





This room I love. The old sewing machine is a wonder and

the chest of drawers is beautiful. Made from cherry wood

perhaps? Would sure love to see what is hanging

above the desk/table.





Not sure to be happy or sad, but the k-9 does

look contented and probably glad the bath

is over perhaps?

You took the time, thank you!

What a wonderful feeling

this can be!

Thank you for stopping by today.

The best thing you can do for me is to please

share my pages with family, friends,

groups and organizations. Spread the

inspiration. I feel we all need more in

our lives today. Thank you so much.

And now till another time, be safe in

all you do. Be aware of everything and

everyone around you at all times. A

very good habit .... take care!
