Quotes that inspire

This quote inspires me to move on in my life:

My life did get better.  I made the decision to let go of my dreams, because they were killing me, and I stopped asking the impossible of myself.  I changed my attitude and decided to focus on what I had rather than on what I didn't have.  And most of all, I decided I wasn't going to be bitter.

The 15 months that my son served in Iraq, were some of my most challenging as a mother.  He was a commander of an MP unit and the following became my mantra:

"If you pray,  don't  worry.........If you worry, you didn't pray" But by and large, the one that has gotten me through some of the darkest moments of my life, and the one that I try to live by is: "Let go.....let God" Sometimes, that's all that you can do....and it's very comforting to have that burden lifted from your shoulders.

  Amen, sister.. Amen...

You said it all.  I know I couldn't handle half of what I do without prayer and letting go and letting God.

But the can and can't there ya are one is by far my favourite. I've always been one to not believe in can't.  Admittedly I used that four letter word early in training, but learned it has no place.
