grandchildren and grandparents

Let us celebrate grandparents' day with this quote from Mary H. Waldrip.

There is very little known about Mary H. Waldrip except that she was a British nurse.  However to her are credited a few inspirational quotes and this is one of them.

The photo is my grandson and I.

Which wolf do you feed

I find this story about the wisdom of an old Cherokee so empowering. It kind of awakens me to examine my life and find what I spend most of my time on.  Do I spend it on positive/good or on negative/evil things? Which wolf do I really feed?

true happiness and God

This quote from an unknown author really makes me imagine my soul expanding. As it expands, I can feel a sense of lightness and an immense space that has no bounds. Yet I know that there is still something or someone out there. Have you ever ever felt the same way?

The flower I used here is the star-shaped flower of a false Mussaenda or Pseudomussaenda flava.

If you want something you've never had

I like this quote from Thomas Jefferson. It tells us to be willing to take action for whatever we want. Sometimes we wish for some things and yet we do not do anything about it. Taking action is very important in achieving our wishes.

The photo shows a man making a purposeful walk along the beach while others are simply lazing around.

when our hearts are conscious of our treasures

This quote from Thornton Wilder tells us that our hearts know and have their own consciousness. It seems that our hearts and not our brain are really the ones that know about our true self. Even St. Exupery talked about seeing with the heart and now Wilder talks about being conscious with the heart.

By the way, Thornton Wilder is an American play write who won three Pulitzer Prizes for a novel and two plays. 
 

The photo I used here is the the flower of the matchstick bromeliad or Aechmea gamosepala.

start to be great

I like this quote from Zig Ziglar. I find it so inspiring and motivational.

Zig Ziglar is a businessman, author and motivational speaker. His full name is Hilary Hinton Ziglar. Some of his popular books are: Born to Win: Find Your Success Code;Raising Positive Kids in a Negative World; Top Performance: How to Develop Excellence in Yourself and Others.

The photo I used here is a young plant just beginning to face the world and the sun. It looks like it's eager to start a new adventure into the world.

one acorn, a thousand forest

This quote Ralph Waldo Emerson is a bit cryptic. I think it's another way of saying that we can start with small things to create big things. Or one small idea can produce grand visions. What do you think?

The photo I used here is a new sprout of the money tree plant or  Malabar chestnut  (Pachira aquatica).
