Thoughts to Ponder

Rebecca has been keeping a journal at school and in it her teacher has been having them write down daily thoughts. We have picked out our favorites and thought we would share them with you.
  • When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves.
  • Successful people are positive people.
  • If you think you have not faults, that makes one more.
  • A good place to find a helping hand is at the end of your arm.
  • When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.
  • The dictionary is the only place where success comes before work.
  • If you can do something with your eyes closed, it's time to find something new.
  • The game of life is a lot like football; you have to tackle your problems, block your fears, and score points when you get the opportunity.
  • The difficulties of life are intended to make us better, not bitter.
  • You can't get much done by starting tomorrow.
  • If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?
  • No rule for success will work if you don't.
  • You can't change the past, but you can ruin a perfectly good present by worrying about the future.

I really like this one:

A good place to find a helping hand in at the end of your arm.

So true!

BTW, Kiley looks so much like you in that picture. It's uncanny! Mini-Emily.
