Let's share some things that inspire us or make us feel good!  Maybe some quotes or short stories that we can refer back to for a pick me up when we've had a bad day!


I recently came across a quote that I believe is soooo true (and what I've been telling myself all these years when things are tough).


The most beautiful people I know are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.  These people have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion and a deep loving concern.  Beautiful people do not just happen.

That is beautiful, it reminds me of my grandmother, it also reminds me of my parents....all of them had very hard lives and they are outstanding individuals, who gave me anything and everything I could ask for.  Thank you for sharing this!

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.

Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.

Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.

Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.

Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.

Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest person with the biggest ideas can be

shot down by the smallest person with the smallest mind.

Think big anyway.

What you spend years building may

be destroyed overnight.

Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack if you help them.

Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have

and you might get kicked in the teeth.

Give the world the best you've got anyway.

My grandmother inspires me because she lived a very hard life, and she courgeously fought to live, regardless of what the Doctors told her.  My father inspires me because he broke the cycle of abuse, he gave my sister and I everything under the sun, and he loved us unconditionally. He inspires me because he too won't let Cancer stop him from life.  My mother inspires me because she came to the US from England, as a nurse, so she could leave the abusive home she was raised in.  She is a fantastic role model and one of the best mothers on this planet.

My children inspire me to be a silly heart, stay young, giggle often, play in the rain, smile often, cry with  a friend, hold hands, kiss in the rain, and DON'T put anything off that you can do today because we are not promised tomorrow


A good man loves other. A better man loves God. A great man loves God and lives well among others! I miss you daddy!

My mother inspires me because she went through an aweful divorce, raised me-my brother-and my sis on her own while working and going back to school.  She didn't let circumstances defeat her.  She is a Steele Magnolia!

Navy Wife,


You are quite welcome.  I really appreciate your post as well.  It is so true, but we easily forget how to press on.  Your family sounds like a fantastic group of people.  It's such a blessing to know people who have experienced adversity...isn't it?  My grammie was a remarkable person too.  I am so thankful that she raised me.  I have no doubt that I am the person I have become, because of her influence.  We lost her two months ago, but I know she will live on in those she touched forever.
