As I've mentioned previously, I love words. I love the sound of them. I love the look of them. I love how they can be strung together to create poetry, stories, and books. Mostly, I love the power of them. Words have the power to challenge the mind, to touch the heart, to heal the spirit.
One of my passions is to collect good quotes. With that in mind, I would like to share a few of my favorite with you today:
Some see a hopeless end, while others see an endless hope.--Author unknown
A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition.--William Arthur Ward
Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow.--Dan Rather
It's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.--Abraham Lincoln.
We acquire the strength we have overcome.--Ralph Waldo Emerson
We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself the means of inspiration and survival.--Winston Churchill
A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.--Eleanor Roosevelt

I always prefer to believe the best of everybody, it saves so much trouble.--Rudyard Kipling
If I had to sum up Friendship in one word, it would be Comfort.--Terri Guillemets
You, undoubtedly, have your own favorite sayings that sustain you, comfort you, make you laugh. I challenge you to share them with others--maybe make up your own. Who knows, you may be quoted!
So, for today, I am grateful for words that inspire.
