Good morning. About a year ago at this time...much like this day, I could not bring much of an interesting concept to mind here, so I posted some favorite quotes. I'm kind of a collector of thoughtful, timeless quotes.
So let it be known that this will be the Second Official Quote Post. (And should you find nothing more interesting to do with this January day either then please- post at will, your own favorite sayings.)
I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.
Diane Ackerman

In the end what matters most is
How well did you live
How well did you love
How well did you learn to let go.

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.

if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself.
What one can be, one must be.

Cherish your visions. Cherish your ideals. Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of these, if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built.

"Why, I did not know we had quarreled."

I love Eleanor's quote. That's a keeper.
Here's my thought for the day:
Life is like a coin, you may spend it any way you wish. But you may only spend it once.

"...no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy."

When we come to the edge of the light we know and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, of this we can be sure: either God will provide something solid to stand on, or we will be taught to fly. -Author Unknown
