Quote for Today
“I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
Michael Jordan (Nike ‘Failure’ Commercial; 15 Amazing Commercials To Inspire the Greatness in You)

Quote for Today
“Marriage is so unlike everything else. There is something even awful in the nearness it brings. Even if we loved someone else better than - than those we were married to, it would be no use. I mean, marriage drinks up all our power of giving or getting any blessedness in that sort of love. I know it may be very dear, but it murders our marriage, and then the marriage stays with us like a murder, and everything else is gone.”
George Eliot
Marianne Evans Cross [1819-1880],
Middlemarch (1871-1872)

To care about others ….
To hope their marriages work …
even though
sometimes marriages don’t.
To see people in wheelchairs
and hope they get better.
To feel heart storms
as kids get yelled at
by angry parents.
To become overwhelmed
with joy when someone does
volunteer work for others.

HOW YOU DEAL
WITH A BITTER DEAL
Some people get a bitter deal.
Some get a better deal than others,
We wake up some mornings
and all goes well for the day.
But some days all goes wrong.
Sometimes it’s not our fault
when the yoke breaks.
Sometimes it is our fault.
What we do next is what’s
important – especially if we
love scrambled eggs.

JUST NOW
Just now: that’s all we get.
Just now.
We forget on purpose.
We try to slide away
from what we promised.
We lie lies we call something else.
We get stuck in the mistakes
the regrets and the what if’s.
We get caught up in the plans
we never put into practice.
Too many words take over.
We forget that some people
listen, remember, are well
aware of what is going on just now.
We're not.
