I feel no need for any other faith than my faith in the kindness of human beings. I am so absorbed in the wonder of earth and the life upon it that I cannot think of heaven and angels. Pearl S. Buck

Buck Excellent quote. It hurts me deeply that there is only one book by Pearl Buck in our local library. I bought a ton of old books by Pearl Buck just to keep and preserve them. Hopefully my granddaughter will read them. What a lost world. Another excellent author long gone and out of print is Taylor Caldwell. I have a lot of her books too. Just saying.

Overthinking ruins you, ruins the situation, twists things around, makes you worry and just makes everything much worse than it actually is. Unknown

Overthinking ruins you, ruins the situation, twists things around, makes you worry and just makes everything much worse than it actually is. Unknown That can happen, but you can still think about situations themselves and the various conclusions that people come to.
My daughter and I can talk for hours especially as to why people believe as they do.

One of the most beautiful things in the world we can do is to help one another. Kindness doesn’t cost a thing.

“Maybe some things don’t get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can’t. Maybe some of us will never be fully okay, but at least we’re here. We’re still trying. We’re doing the best we can. That’s worth celebrating too. If you’re reading this, congratulations, you made it to today. You made it.”

Your life is not a dream,it is real as it gets. And every choice you make will create who you are going to be. Life is about living the experience and learning from them, to grow in becoming the best version of yourself. When things get hard, make the best out of it, one day at a time.

“Life is like a game of chess”. To win you have to make a move. Knowing which move to make comes with in-sight and knowledge, and by learning the lessons that are acquired along the way.

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” Carl Sagan

“Don't Just
Don't just learn, experience. Don't just read, absorb. Don't just change, transform. Don't just relate, advocate. Don't just promise, prove. Don't just criticize, encourage. Don't just think, ponder. Don't just take, give. Don't just see, feel. Don’t just dream, do. Don't just hear, listen. Don't just talk, act. Don't just tell, show. Don't just exist, live.”
Roy T. Bennett,

Two things to remember in life. Take care of your thoughts when you are alone, and take care of your words when you are with people.

“How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, “This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant?” Instead they say, “No, no, no! My God is a little God, and I want it to stay that way.” A religion, old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the Universe as revealed by modern Science might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by the conventional faiths.” Carl Sagan

“Remember, happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think. So start each day by thinking of all the things you have to be thankful for. Your future will depend very largely on the thoughts you think today. So think thoughts of hope and confidence and love and success.” Dale Carnegie

Where in the world do you find a wife like that? “Remember, happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think. So start each day by thinking of all the things you have to be thankful for. Your future will depend very largely on the thoughts you think today. So think thoughts of hope and confidence and love and success.” Dale Carnegie

Maturity: Be able to stick with a job until it is finished. Be able to bear an injustice without having to get even. Be able to carry money without spending it. Do your duty without being supervised. Ann Landers
