Our mind is the most powerful instrument we possess. With it we make many worlds; one that soothes and one that agitates, one that is grateful and one that is bitter, one that is kind and one that is cruel.
As Viktor E. Frankl noted: “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”

Thank you for all you do
Remember to share all you find of value on the internet. All who post crave recognition. A like says “Thank You.” Comments say you have read and thought about the post. Sharing is a gift to three people: the blogger, the people you share with, and you for your kindness blesses you.
