never give up

Never give up...a reminder to myself tonight. David has two toes really red tonight. They looked fine when I treated them last night. I'm trying to talk to myself before going to bed. I'm hoping they are red from his shoes. It's one of those times when I feel I have buckets of concrete attached to my ankles and someone threw me in the ocean and no matter how much I try, I can't get my head above water. I'll listen to Deepak Chopra or Wayne Dyer tonight and maybe get hit by another spark of hope. I need it.

“The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.”

― J.M. Barrie, The Little White Bird

Nothing without Faith

We have nothing if we do not have FAITH. I believe this with all my heart. No matter what religion you practice, we must have faith and believe in something greater than our need, problem, pain, etc.

On The Wings Of A Dove

Have you ever wished you could hitch a ride on the back of a bird and fly along on the hope and faith of a bird? I have. I do. I thought about this today when I saw a Dove perched on the bird feeder pole. Think of birds flying, they never hesitate when spreading their wings and flying. They travel light - no baggage, no fear, no nagging what ifs, (yes, I am a big “what iffer”.) Just imagine if they took into account all the things that could go wrong…I envy their “no worry” take on the world and life. They don’t worry about whether their belief is the right one, if they are doing things right, or whether the path will be the right or wrong one - if only…
