Quotes
Nothing To Do
“I’ve got nothing to do today but smile.” ― Paul Simon
Gratitude
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. “ – Melody Beattie
Identity
“If you don’t define yourself for yourself, you’d be crunched into other people’s fantasies of you and eaten alive.”
– Audre Lorde
Money and Power
“Never work just for money or for power. They won’t save your soul or help you sleep at night.”
– Edelman, Marian Wright, Children’s Defense Fund (1939- )
Marley on Days Off
The Little Things
“The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions—the little soon-forgotten charities of a kiss, a smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment in the disguise of a playful raillery, and the countless other infinitesimal of pleasurable thought and genial feeling.” – Samuel Taylor Coleridge
