'one can't believe impossible things.'

Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.'” ~ Lewis Carroll

"The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you.

"I learned most, not from those who taught me but from those who talked with me. " St. Augustine
"It’s not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can’t tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself." ~ Joyce Maynard
"We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and a mystery." ~ H. G. Wells
"I find a rhythm, a way of seeking, a way of working... a way of praying. Ora et labora. The laundry, the dishes, the beds, the floors, these have a harmony, a gentle tempo in time.

"To look up is joy." ~ Confucius
