“If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.”
Booker T Washington
“To listen with compassion is to give a precious gift.”

“We conquer by continuing.”
George Matheson
From The Boy, the Mole, the Box and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy
“Well we love you whether you can fly or not.” Said to a flying horse
“‘What is the bravest thing you’ve ever said?’ asked the boy. ‘Help,’ said the horse.”
“When the dark clouds come … keep going.”
“‘Is your glass half empty or half-full?’ asked the mole. ‘I think I’m grateful to have a glass,’ said the boy.
“‘Do you have any other advice?’ Asked the boy. ‘Don’t measure how valuable you are by the way you are treated,’said the horse.
“Always remember you matter, you’re important and you are loved, and you bring to this world things no one else can.”
Unknown authors
“People don’t always need advice. Sometimes all they need is a hand to hold, an ear to listen and a heart to understand them.”
“Helping one person might not change the world, but it could change the world for one person.”
These are fantastic quotes of wisdom, aren’t they? “We conquer by continuing” – I’d not heard that before but it’s so true. Each minute, each day, that we continue is a success and an achievement to be proud of, especially on those days where keeping goes feels so incredibly hard to do.
I hope you have a restful weekend ahead!

I loved that “conquer by continuing.” It sure describes our lives!
We left the heat for a couple weeks and escaped to our son’s. Celebrating Joe’s and my birthdays and our 55th anniversary and our son’s 29th anniversary.
