Live your life fully - today!

A Thought for the Week

"You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land, there is no other life but this." ~ Henry David Thoreau

"Live life so completely that when death comes to you like a thief in the night, there will be nothing left for him to steal." ~ Unknown

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." ~ Helen Keller

"We don't have endless days. We have today." ~ Unknown

Hi Hilda,
Gosh, I love all of these - there all so great!

The Helen Keller one we have hanging up here in our stairway. Every once in a while, I'll read it and start to walk away...and then I think - it's so much more that just reading these words without any thought. What good is that? And this leads me to pause, even if just slightly, and let these words absorb into my soul.

Thanks so much for sharing these Hilda.

You've brightened my day this morning!

Hi Hilda,
I love these quotes (I found the Helen Keller one on a birthday card recently and gave it to my mother-in-law). I also love the books that you love. I have read at least half of these authors. So cool.

The A - Z of Happiness: D is for . . . Deliberately create your day Believe it or not, it is possible to radically alter how you feel without changing your circumstances and here is a simple technique to help you do this: Each morning, before you dive head-first into your day, think very clearly about how you want your day to be, and most importantly how you want to be during the day. If you want, you could even write it down in a small notebook - I did when I first started practicing this technique - so that you can handily refer to it later in the day whenever...
