"Cultivate your garden... Do not depend upon teachers to educate you ... follow your own bent, pursue your curiosity bravely, express yourself, make your own harmony… In the end, education, like happiness, is individual, and must come to us from life and from ourselves. There is no way; each pilgrim must make his own path. "Happiness," said Chamfort, "is not easily won; it is hard to find it in ourselves, and impossible to find it elsewhere."
— Will Durant

"What worries you, masters you."
~Haddon W. Robinson~

—Alexander Smith

"No one can listen to your body for you. To grow and heal, you have to take responsibility for listening to it yourself." --Jon Kabat-Zinn

— Benjamin Disraeli

“To give and not expect anything in return; to give for no special time or season; to give, not for any particular recognition; to give, not for a substantial tax refund; to give for the sake of giving—often just between giver and receiver—has a life of its own—an elevated one.”

~Glasceta Honeyghan~

"For in the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.— Baba Dioum"

"The great successful men of the world have used their imagination ... think ahead and create their mental picture in all it details, filling in here, adding a little there, altering this a bit and that a bit, but steadily building-steadily building.— Robert Collier

Since God assured us.
I'll never let you down,
never walk off and leave you,
we can boldly quote,
"God is there,ready to help;
I'm fearless no matter what.
Who or what can get to me.

How To Plant A Garden

First, you come to the garden alone, while the dew is on the roses...

Plant 3 rows of peas:
1. Peace of mind
2. Peace of heart
3. Peace of Soul

Plant four rows of squash:
1. Squash gossip
2. Squash indifference
3. Squash grumbling
4. Squash selfishness

Plant four rows of lettuce:
1. Lettuce be faithful
2. Lettuce be kind
3. Lettuce be patient
4. Lettuce really love one another

No garden is without turnips
1. Turnip for meeting
2. Turnip for service
3. Turnip to help one another

To conclude our garden, we must have thyme
1. Thyme for each other
2. Thyme for friends
3. Thyme for family

WATER FREELY WITH PATIENCE AND CULTIVATE WITH LOVE. THERE IS MUCH FRUIT IN YOUR GARDEN BECAUSE YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.

be good to me...
The sea is so wide
and my boat is so small.”

Irish Fisherman's Prayer

FORBODING

Do you see dark clouds on the horizon? Oh, no, that means trouble, right? Not quite. Clouds bring rain to feed our plants and fill our aquifers. Wind brings fresh air that blows away everything stale and stagnant.

Are there dark clouds on your horizon? Think hard - what can you get them to feed or fill. What can you get them to bring that will blow away things that are stale and stagnant in your life?

"Every shut eye aint sleep; every goodbye aint gone."--African Proverb

in your presence.

"When you become detached mentally from yourself and concentrate on helping other people with their difficulties, you will be able to cope with your own more effectively. Somehow, the act of self-giving is a personal power-releasing factor.
— Norman Vincent Peale

"If I can put one touch of rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman, I shall feel that I have worked with God."
— G. K. Chesterton

"Imagination was given to us to compensate for what we are not; a sense of humor was given to us to console us for what we are."— Mack McGinnis

"Renew your body by shaking up routines, opening to new experiences.When people get busy, they rely on habits--wearing the same clothes, eating the same food, taking the same route to work--to save time and thought. What small changes can you make to your routine to reinvigorate yourself? How can you extend that mind-set to bigger tasks?"--Oprah Winfrey

What a perfect inspirational thought for me to receive today. Thank you Glasceta!!! and it was great seeing you the other day, even though too brief.

We weave our own tapestry's in life~ What ever we weave, can well become our own "Comforts" or, "Pains" of Tomorrow.. Let the History you write~ bring comfort to you, and all those you cross paths with... Tomorrow is not promised to anyone of us. Live in each moment of today without regret, as if it were to be your last.

"It takes time to succeed because success is merely the natural reward of taking time to do anything well."
— Joseph Ross

"Consider the postage stamp: its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing until it gets there."
— Josh Billings

"Courage is reclaiming your life after a devastating event robs you of your confidence and self-esteem. It is facing tomorrow with a firm resolve to reach deep within yourself to find another strength, another talent. ... It is taking yourself to another level of your own existence where you are once again whole, productive, special..."
— Catherine Britton

"We rest here while we can, but we hear the ocean calling in our dreams, And we know by the morning, the wind will fill our sails to test the seams. The calm is on the water and part of us would linger by the shore. For ships are safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for."
— Song "Ships" by Tom Kimmel & Michael Lille

"Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage."
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

"May you find serenity and tranquility in a world you may not always understand. May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism. Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there, even when you feel most alone. May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of peace. May a kind word, a reassuring touch, and a warm smile be yours every day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them. Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending."
— Unknown

"The greatest of all faults is to be conscious of none. Recognizing our limitations and imperfections is the first requisite of progress. Those who believe they have "arrived" believe they have nowhere to go. Some not only have closed their minds to new truth, but they sit on the lid."
— Dale Turner

REALISM

"I often encourage you to dream big and reach for the stars. But sometimes it is necessary to sit back and ask, "Am I being realistic?" What happens when you discover that the stars really are beyond your reach?

That's the point. If you reach for the ceiling, you might never get out of your seat. But if you reach for the stars, you'll end up on the balcony and see things you might never have seen otherwise.

You are not a failure if the stars are out of reach. Success does not come from landing on a star; it comes from reaching for one."

~David Leonhardt~

"Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I — not events — have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it."
— Groucho Marx
