“Constant kindness can accomplish much.

Just as the sun melts ice, kindness 

makes misunderstanding, mistrust, 

and hostility dissipate.”

~ Albert Schweitzer ~

“There is no such thing as a ‘normal’ 

caregiving situation where everything 

goes according to plan.

You do the best you can with what you have.

And you know what? That’s enough.”

~ Eboni Ivory Green ~

“Life here is short, and regret lasts forever.

Perhaps happiness is now, happiness for a moment,

is all we truly get. Eternal happiness

seems like an unreasonable demand in a world on fire.”

~ Kristin Hannah ~

“You will find out that it is necessary

to stop doing these things;

simply because they are heavy.

So let them go, let them go.

“I don’t tie weights to my ankles.”

~ C. JoyBell C. ~

I knew that sometimes 

a little fear can be a good thing.

When you fear things will get 

worse if you don't do something,

it can motivate you to act.

But it's not good when fear prevents 

you from doing anything.

~ Spencer Johnson ~

"The world is indeed full of perils,

and in it there are many dark places;

but there is still much beauty, and though in

all lands love is now mingled

with sorrow, perhaps it grows even more."

~ J.R.R. Tolkien ~

"It is interesting to observe that where life 

is simple and natural, and where children 

participate in the lives of adults, 

they are calm and happy."

~ Maria Montessori ~ 

“The greatest tool of injustice is fear.

People use fear to control.

They use silence to protect power.

They use ignorance to ensure obedience.”

~ Hagir Elsheikh ~
