"Anyone who proposes to do good must not expect people to roll stones out of his way, but must accept his lot calmly if they even roll a few more upon it". Albert Schweitzer

Ah, the byproduct of change, ignorance, anger, resentment and fear, be ready! One person's idea of good can be someone else's pocketbook.

Logically and realistically, we can't be all things to all people or organizations at all times. When it comes to doing good; at some point, we need to make choices based on who we are and what we're hoping to achieve in our individual lives and in doing so, there's this need to be strong and hold steadfast in our convictions.

On my Facebook page, for months, or what may even be coming up on a year, I have been posting a quote a day. Thought I was doing it for my friends, and I was, but I've also ended up getting a lot out of it too. Searching for and then posting the quotes on a daily basis, is very uplifting and thought provoking leading me to resurrect this blog where I share the quotes as well as comment on them DAILY. Okay, well, not daily daily, I sometimes get a few days behind, but I eventually catch up.

The quotes, this blog, my commentary and story telling are my, small attempt to do some good in the world. I would hope people come away from their contact with me, feeling a bit less lonely, and a lot more encouraged and inspired. Silly me, I have this dream of living in an environment where people are less afraid and far more understanding of one another, and I truly believe the only way for people to be more understanding of others, is to be more understanding of themselves. Loving our fellow man, whomever he or she may be, first requires self-love; if we can accomplish that, the path to loving others has been paved. Someday, I hope it's a highway.
