Today's Thought

~ The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong. ~ Thomas Carlyle



OOOH!!  And this one, too!


~ The mere fact that you have obstacles to overcome is in your favor... ~ Robert Collier


Thoughts?

Pretty heavy thinking for so early in the morning.

My 1st thought was its only 9:35 and I have a lot more day in front of me!  

Secondly.... I thought.  Make today a good day Jess and everyone else !

Thanks Darla for your wisdom.

****HIJACK****

Love that pic of you Jess!

Given recent events, the only thing that comes to mind from the first on is "Does that block of granite eventually become your headstone?"  Ok, a little sick I know, but my dad just told us he ordered the headstone for my mom's grave and it's still fresh in my mind.

But...ah...yes....I'm thankful that I still have obstacles - I just wish I had the energy to jump over them right now!

Thanks for the deep thoughts Mrs. Jack Handy!

My pleasure, my dear friend... did dad do what he wanted to do with the anniversary rock?

Thanks Darla, I like these.....Especially the granite one.....

I just thought - ya know what?  It's true - that which doesn't kill us, makes us stronger!  The obstacles we encounter on our way through life, on our way to becoming the person we're intended to be.... they DO make us stronger!  They teach us the best life lessons! 

Some of the BEST memories and learning experiences in my life have come as a result of my taking on and conquering some of my biggest challenges and fears!  

WOW!  If you didn't hit the nail on the head!  I sure can appreciate your thoughts for today....

Good thing I'm 50lbs lighter in order to step over that block huh!

I thank God for a lot of the obstacles I've faced - I sure wouldn't be where I am today with out them!

Thanks Darla - keep them coming!
