Inspiring Quotes Wednesday

Satchel Paige

Leo Tolstoy
Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.


Mother Teresa
Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.


Robert Service
Be master of your petty annoyances and conserve your energies for the big, worthwhile things. It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out - it's the grain of sand in your shoe.


Marc Chagall
If I create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing.


Bishop Fulton J. Sheen

Those are great - especially the one by Sheen. I try to tell myself some version of that almost every day, especially when I am feeling cranky!! ;-) Happy Wednesday!

Iggyism:

If Queenie Jeanie creates cards from the heart, nearly everything works; and no one ever gets one of her cards without feeling better and happier.

Hope your shoes are free of grains of sand and you make weather with brilliant blue skys, puffy white clouds. :)
