That's one of my favorites. Here's another old one and two new from a recent book I read.

"Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be". -Abe Lincoln.

"When you live with generosity, blessings come to you from corners and avenues you would never have expected." -"Go-Givers Sell More"

"Adversity changes us, but how it changes us is a choice." -"Go-Givers Sell More"

Great thread. Thanks.


Thanks and God bless us all,
Coyote
