On This Day

Yes,
on this day
these words say it best....
Especially as time goes by.


I thank all that made a visit,
phone call, sent cards, emails,
 comments,
sent a gift and even thank
those that remembered me in prayer
or special thoughts
that I may not even be aware of.

A new day begins
and I see words I copied upon my desk
and must remember.

~~There is only one way to happiness and that is
to cease worrying about things
which are beyond the power of your will~~

Epictetus

Since I, too, am one who worries too much, I should also write these words on my desk. You write such a wonderful blog...looking forward to more in 2014.

You always have the best quotes. How true the Epictetus is, yet it's so very hard not to worry, isn't it?
