Tu, 11-12:
Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

~ Marie Curie

We, 11-13:
The shell must be cracked apart if what is in it is to come out, for if you want the kernel you must break the shell.

~ Meister Eckhart

Th, 11-14:
Believe that you have it, and you have it.

~ Latin proverb

Fr, 11-15:

~ Abraham Lincoln

Sa, 11-16:

We, 11-20:
What saves us is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but we have to take it.

Always keep a window open in your mind for new ideas.

Fr, 11-22:
In the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal.

Mo, 11-25:
Real life isn’t always going to be perfect or go our way, but the recurring acknowledgement of what is working in our lives can help us not only to survive but surmount our difficulties.

~ Sarah Van Breathnach

Tu, 11-26:
Sharing is the essence of teaching. It is, I have come to believe, the essence of civilization. Without it, the imagination is but the echo of itself, trapped in a soundproof chamber, reverberating upon itself until it is spent in exhaustion or futility.

~ Bill Moyers

We, 11-27:
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

~ John F. Kennedy

Th, 11-28:
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

~ Melody Beattie

Fr, 11-29:
Life is like a bicycle. You don’t fall off unless you stop pedaling.

~ Unknown

Sa, 11-30:
The foundation of excellence lies in self-control.

~ H. L. Baugher
