- Sometimes the smallest thing... a picture...sound...word...thought..gesture...just about anything...can make a profound change in our lives. I enjoy finding sayings, thoughts, words of wisdom or humor that might
somehow make a difference in my day. Some may seem completely
fluffy, trivial, serious, sad, humorous and anything inbetween. But
if just one makes someone stop and perhaps find some peace, joy,
serenity, guidance or any other positive direction from
what they've read here....I will be happy! If you know of
any sayings you'd like to share...please feel free to send it to
me and it will probably get included here.....
