Let's Talk About Words

      Lady Bird Johnson was quoted as saying, "Any committee is only as good as the most knowledgeable, determined and vigorous person on it. There must be somebody who provides the flame ." Be that flame in your family, in your work and in all of your life. Don't wait for others; add the excitement.           Author Susan Marie Schulhof          http://susanmarieschulhof.blogspot.com

"One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach." -Anne Morrow Lindbergh     Some things are just meant to appreciate. Maybe save one or two items to draw your memories to to you. Collect small amounts of what you love.           Author Susan Marie Schulhof          http://susanmarieschulhof.blogspot.com

"It's where we go, and what we do when  we get there, that tells us who we are." -Joyce Carol Oates     When I was younger, I don't think that I thought of the long term ramifications of choices that I made. As I get older, I realize that our choices define who we are, so I try to choose wisely.           Author Susan Marie Schulhof          http://susanmarieschulhof.blogspot.com

     Albert Schweitzer said, "You must give some time to your fellow men. Even if it's a little thing, do something for others-something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it." I have a difficult time watching others do something for me that I was raised to do and feel that I am actually capable of doing myself. There are others that grow up accustomed to that and probably take it for granted. Everyone, at least once in their life, should volunteer to serve others. It will touch their soul in ways that they can't imagine when they honor others.           Author Susan Marie Schulhof          http://susanmarieschulhof.blogspot.com

"A human being has a natural desire to have more  of a good thing than he needs." -Mark Twain     Maybe because I am focusing on being healthy by walking and eating better, today's quotation made me think of overeating. I am studying and learning about serving sizes, and it repeatedly shocks me when I read what a serving size is and how many calories only one serving size has. It is important to be aware of what and how much I eat . I struggle to not turn a snack into a meal sometimes.           Author Susan Marie Schulhof          http://susanmarieschulhof.blogspot.com

"More people are ruined by victory , I imagine, than by defeat." -Eleanor Roosevelt       I have read that lottery winners often end up lonely and unhappy as well as poor. I wonder how can that be. I can only imagine how glorious my life would be if I won a million dollars. Would I brag and boast and waste my winnings? No, I hope that I would help others in needs and be humble in victory .           Author Susan Marie Schulhof http://susanmarieschulhof.blogspot.com

"Never be afraid to sit awhile and think." -Lorraine Hansbury          In my family, we often have the radio or television on even when no one is watching or listening. I even listen to music when I am out walking. I read recently that God speaks to us during moments of silence. I am going to learn to live with some silence every day because quietness is important.                                                           Author Susan Marie Schulhof http://susanmarieschulhof.blogspot.com
