My Trip Around the Sun: A Sunshine Quote for today.....

Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others
cannot keep it from themselves.

-Sir James Barrie

Matthew 5: 16
One of my favorite scriptures.

To laugh often and love much

To laugh often and love much--
To win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children--
To earn the honest approbation of critics and endure the betrayal of false friends--
To appreciate the beauty --
To find the best in others--
To give of one's self--
To leave the world a little better whether by a garden patch...a healthy child...or a redeemed social condition--
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sang with exultation--
To know even one life has breathed a little easier, because you have lived--
this is success.

Marianne Williamson

I'm a fan of Marianne Williamson. Here's a quote from her:

Regardless of how dark things get, there is light that will ultimately follow the darkness. For that is guaranteed by God. What lies in our hands -- what is completely up to us as beings of free will -- is how long the night will last and how quickly the light will get here. Many people on this earth have cast great light, and now is a moment when all of us must. At a time of war, let's cultivate peace. At a time of hate, let's cultivate love. At a time of hopelessness, let's cultivate hope.
