"The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live."

~Flora Whittemore

Sometimes it feels like we don't have choices but we actually are choosing something every moment of each day.
I don't always like having such a big responsibility and no one else to blame it on! But then I remember it's a gift.
Keeping in mind what you want gives you the chance to choose what supports your dreams and goals.

Independence, like honour, is a rocky island without a beach.

--Napoleon Bonaparte

Who hasn't taken pride in doing something that no one thought could be done? It gives us satisfaction to do something difficult, to lift our head high and say, "I did this alone." We take pride in being the best we can be.

But we can't find happiness in the pride that sets us against our fellow humans, saying, "I don't need you," or even, "I'm better than you." We do need each other. And each of us has strengths, weaknesses, and God-given talents that God expects us to use to help each other.

--Karen Casey
