Be The Best of Whatever You Are
If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill,
Be a scrub in the valley, but be the best little scrub by the side of the rill
If you can't be a bush be a bit of grass, and some highway happier make;
If you can't be a muskiek, then just be a bass, but the liveliest bass in the lake!
We can't all be captains, we've got to be the crew,
There's something for all of us here, There's big work to do.
And the task we must do is the near, if you can't be a highway then just be a trail,
If you can't be the sun, be a star; it isn't by the size that you win or fail,
Be the best of whatever you are!
~Douglas Mallech

Today
Yesterday is but a dream,
and tomorrow is only a vision,
but Today well lived makes every yesterday
a dream of happiness and
every tomorrow, a vision of hope.
Look there for to Today.

Value
"The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
What we attain too cheaply, we esteem too lightly;
it is adversity that gives everything its value."

Things that matter most
Things that matter most
must never be at the mercy
of the things that matter least.

Impact of Attitude
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than the facts.
It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our pasts, we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.
I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens and 90 percent how I react to it. And so it is with you - we are in charge of our attitude.

Our Attitude / Life's Attitude
It's our attitude in life that determines life's attitude towards us.

May You Always
May you always walk in sunshine
Slumber warm when night winds blow
May you always live with laughter
For a smile becomes you so
May good fortune find your doorway
May the bluebird sing your song
May no trouble travel your way
May worry not stay too long
May your heartaches be forgotten
May no tears be spilled
And may your cup of kindness forever be filled
May you always be a dreamer
May your wildest dream come true
May you find someone to love
As much as I love you
