"I am a part of all that I have met."   Alfred Lord Tennyson




This rings true for all of us as we progress through life.  We have components within us that are a part of our school teachers, sunday school teachers, and all the people that we encounter during our walk on earth.  Our goal should be to screen the influences that we want to encounter in our lives to ensure our total self is made up of great parts.

"It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that breaks a relationship."

"Even a clock that does not work is right twice a day."     Polish Proverb




In my view it would be a great day to right once in a day.  Twice might seem to be impossible.  I do not know if "right" is the best word to use in our society, but doing what is right is a better goal to strive for.  Let's do for others and encourage those around us.

"Follow Your Dreams ... Or work for those who did."

I believe the meaning we should look for here is that of Happiness.  We tend to look for finances, etc. and exclude basic Happiness.

"If you want to feel rich, just count the things you have that money can't buy."

This is a great exercise to list the many blessings of the people surrounding us in our lives, both past and present.  If you have never done this before, stop what you are doing and make the list.  Then pickup the phone and call the people that help or helped make your list a true blessing.
