"I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good thing, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow human being let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again."
~Stephen Grellet, 1773-1855
French-born Quaker Minister

*must resist the urge to be unkind about your inappropriate comment about something that's important to me, and you aren't taking it seriously...*
Wow, I knew Abraham Lincoln was wise beyond his years but... :)
I liked this quote, particularly the, "For I shall not pass this way again." If I could just keep that perspective it would make the strain that accompanies the increased workload a little easier to bear, sometimes I find myself taxed by giving an over abundance of service. if I can just keep myself embracing the good of the moment recognizing I truly may not pass this way again...one shot to find joy in the journey I bet I would be more successful at finding that joy!
I loved this so much and I am printing it out!!! I agree with the perspective thing, it's hard top keep it, but SOOOOOOOOOO important!!!!! Thanks for finding it and posting it!! Love You!
