Re: Inspirational quotes....and stuff

A friend shared this video with me a couple years ago, I found it inspirational and grounding. It is artistic but delivers a profound message of many quotes. One of the things that struck me most was all of Abraham Lincoln's defeats in life before he found success.

I know some people are skeptical of clicking links, but type the address into your browser. i guarantee it is an inspiring few minutes of your time.

Re: Inspirational quotes....and stuff

Jules, ... Thanks for this thread. DH and I have a file of quotes on MS Word that we've collected through the years and refer to them quite often. This is one of my favorites: "Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole." (Roger Caras) {#emotions_dlg.wub}

I was really impressed by Steve Jobs' quote on "Explore...": “Remembering you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.” ~~ Steve Jobs, Stanford commencement address, 2005 (Co-founder, Apple, Inc.)

Hello sweet Anika, thanks for joining in, always a pleasure to see you. I will check your link, but definitely agree with the Roger Caras quote. I miss my sweet Nook so much, my dad and I have discussed it, and we are thinking spring will be a good time to make our home whole again. Depends on my dad's health and stuff, but gosh I miss the pitter patter of paws. {#emotions_dlg.wub}
