- "Ever since I subscribed to your site the daily reminders are the only thing I read apart from email and the NY Times headlines and weather. I am hugely critical of most self-help information, but this is not what your site is. I save 1 in 2 of these and have kept a library folder. They are intelligent, concise, relevant and are pitched at exactly the right level."

THis is a beautiful saying.. I think I will also apply it to my life
I love that, kind of like "may the wind always be at your back"
Something my mother said one day stuck with me. We wanted to go out and play, but it was cloudy. My mother looked up at the sky and said as long as there was enough blue in the sky to make a baby's diaper, there was a chance the day would turn out sunny after all.
I always look now for just a hint of blue in a cloudy sky and my mom is usually right!
