To all the beautiful people 🌞
Words placed in a particular order can have a profound effect on us.
Words can bring us a moment of comfort, give us a different perspective, or change the course of our thinking and outlook entirely.
I would like this to be a space where we share quotes that have meaning to us or that have the potential to bring some comfort or encouragement to somebody, even if just for the moment in which they are reading it.
I will start.
Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow." - Mary Anne Radmacher
Go gently with yourselves lovely people.

Hello Everyone,
Is your "glass" half full or half empty? Appreciate what ever is in it then decide how you are going to fill it up again.- Mark as New

For our dear friends who are struggling and hurting.
This one is for you:
If someone is facing a difficult time, one of the kindest things you can do for them is to say, “I’m just going to love you through this.”
- Molly Foedenfeld
So...I’m just going to love you through this.

Believe you can handle more than your depressed mind tells you is bearable.
Change your thoughts and you change your world!
When we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change!

Very special thanks and love to Pepper, Dools and Grandy for sharing your loving words even though you each are going through immense pain yourselves. You are special people ❤
......
So, if you are too tired to speak, sit next to me, for I, too, am fluent in silence.

Hello everyone...
This is something I really value because it is so very true...
A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked. "Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you - but first, let me do this."
He proceeded to crumple the 20 dollar note up. He then asked. "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.
"Well," he replied, "what if I do this?" He dropped it on the
ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.
"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No
matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still
priceless to those who love you. The worth of our lives comes, not in what we do or who we know, but by ...WHO WE ARE.
You are special - don't ever forget it."

Hi birdy (and all),
Thank you so much for your resssuring and, as always, deeply caring words. The same goes for you too. You know that, right? Thank you for sharing your beautiful heart, your thoughtfulness and gentle comfort (to so many) despite all that you’re going through...you have a truly generous nature.
We are sitting with you in your silence. No words needed. Nothing required...simply sitting and keeping you company...
Now, this next one is for you (dear birdy), lovely Grandy, gracious Dools and anyone in need of some comfort plus it ties in with the silence theme:
Sometimes we need someone to simply be there. Not to fix anything, or to do anything in particular. But just to let us feel that we are cared for and supported.
- unknown.
Love,
Pepper xoxo

May we all have a day where we know in our hearts and especially our minds, that someone does love and care for us.
This thread is a beautiful place of encouragement and caring.
Huge hugs to you all.
Cheers From Dools

"What day is it?" asked Pooh.
"It's today," squeaked Piglet.
"My favourite day," said Pooh.
