Purls of Wisdom

Be the change you want to see in the world ~ Mahatma Ghandi

Life is 10% what happens to you, 90% what you make of it.

You can only stay down for so long before the winds change.

Be the first person on the dance floor.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

I took the road less traveled…and got here on time.

Act old later!

Tough times never last, tough people do!

Get inspired by people, the enormous strength that they have in overcoming their own challenges in their life

Be thankful for small blessings

Only I can make it better ~ J.S.

This too shall pass

Spend some time alone…knitting is a great way to relax

You can’t change the wind but you can change your sails

Dare to dream but also dare to do

Love deeply and passionately.  You might get hurt but it’s the only way to live life completely!

Don’t judge people by their relatives

When you say “I’m sorry”, look the person in the eye

Money is the root of all evil, and yet it is such a useful root that we cannot get on without it any more than we can without potatoes ~ Louisa May Alcott
