    I do not at all have the mind of a bully... in my mind bullies are intolerant of contrary opinion, domineering and rather cowardly. I would hope that none of those terms could be fairly used in describing me.

    Conrad Black

    "Gandhi was right: if we all live by 'an eye for an eye' the whole world will be blind.
    The only way out is forgiveness."

    "We forgive freely or we do not really forgive at all."

    Complaining only exasperates the problem by focusing your attention on what
    is wrong in your life rather than focusing on taking actions to solve it or
    accepting the situation as is and finding peace with it.:heart:

    A righteous man is cautious in friendship--

    Bad company corrupts good character--

    These are the two scripture verses (don't ask me for the reference-- ) I use most in counseling my children to be very cautious in choosing their friends and with whom they associate.

    Works for us grown-ups, too-- :bigsmile:

    And you, my friend, are a dear for being the one here that encouraged me ( I don't even know if you know that ) to open up and get back to being ME. And through your support, as well as some other lovely friends here, I'm opening up in a way I don't know that I ever have.

    I'm a closed person emotionally-- I'll talk your ear off, but will still keep people at arm's length-- but, walls are coming down here, and it's helping in other areas of life, as well.

    So, go figure-- God can use any medium, can't He, to achieve His good purpose for us.

    Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow.
    The same Everlasting Father, who takes care of you today,
    will take care of you tomorrow.
    He will either shield you from suffering,
    or give you unfailing strength to bear it.
    Be at peace then,
    and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations.
    ~ Saint Francis de Sales


    "Don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines." ~ Leroy "Satchel" Paige

    "Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others." ~ Cicero

    Keep your curiosity fresh. ~ John Singer Sargent

    Wherever you are, be all there. ~ Jim Eliot

    For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Cor. 4:17-18

    To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it. ~ G. K. Chesterton

    I believe in getting into hot water; it keeps you clean. ~ G. K. Chesterton

    It takes a very long time to become young. ~ Pablo Picasso

    "Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow." ~ Mary Jean Irion

    "It is no use doing what you like; you have got to like what you do." ~ Winston Churchill, on joy.

    …what had seemed insoluble to him while he was judging, blaming, and hating, had become clear and simple when he forgave and loved. ~ Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

    “Over the years I have discovered that much of my struggle to be content despite outside circumstances has arisen when I stubbornly resisted what was actually happening in my life at the present moment. . . . Acceptance illuminates reality so that we’re better able to see the next step.” ~ Sarah Ban Breathnach
