We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.

Truth

. . . the divine floods of light . . . no longer flow into our souls.

Attitude

The greatest discovery of my generation is that man can alter his life simply by altering his attitude of mind.

James Truslow Adams

Sometimes I need an attitude adjustment. This week my feelings have been negative about several things. Today I'm working on a positive attitude. I have so much in my life to be grateful for--so many blessings. I'm focusing on them and not felling sorry for myself.

Walking

I am a slow walker, but I never walk backwards. ~ Abraham Lincoln

I found this quote by Abraham Lincoln. I'm wondering if I always walk forward. Maybe walking backwards sometimes is okay. When I do, I learn about myself.

However, forward motion is always good.
