A Thought for Today
we underestimate the power
of a touch,
a smile,
a kind word,
a listening ear,
an honest compliment,
or the smallest act of caring,
all of which have the potential
to turn a life around."
~Leo Buscaglia

Learn as if you were to live forever."

“Each of us has that right, that possibility, to invent ourselves daily. If a person does not invent herself, she will be invented. So, to be bodacious enough to invent ourselves is wise.” - Maya Angelou
“Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.”
Rumi
"A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place, but a seed to be planted and to bear more seeds toward the hope of greening the landscape of idea." ~ Henry David Thoreau

This is absolutely true. When I first came to this city, I was so depressed and lonely. On two occasions very small gestures by strangers lifted me back up and gave me the strength to carry on another day.
I love that for me the text is shaped like an angel! :) wonderful!

What a beautiful (and true) thought. I have always admired Leo Buscaglia--he was a man who truly seemed to know how to love people.
I SO agree. Completely and wholeheartedly. This is a wonderful quote. So glad you posted it.

I've been wondering what you're up to this Sunday because I haven't seen any posts on your Blog today. Hope all's well and that you're enjoying your sunny summer weather while the rest of us shiver :)
Hugs and blessings to you both,
