I was reading this month's Woman's Day and this was on the back page and I really liked it and I hope you do too

"I wept because I had no shoes, until I saw a man who had no feet."

Persian proverb

"Appreciation is yeast, lifting ordinary to extradordinary."

Mary-Ann Petro

"The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don't have."

Woody Allen

"Too many people miss the silver lining because they're expecting gold."

Maurice Setter

"I make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes."

Sara Teasdale

"When life's problems seem overwhelming, look around and see what other people are coping with. You many consider yourself fortunate."

Ann Landers

"Each day comes bearing its own gifts. Untie the ribbons."

Ruth Ann Schabacker

"Life isn't a matter of milestones, but of moments."

Rose Kennedy

"Earth's crammed with heaven."

Thanks, Susan. I lost sight of this yesterday in a big way. Never mind looking for the gold and missing the silver - all I could see was clouds.
