I originally come from North of Quincy. I will be going home for January. My family is trying to talk me into moving back home. However, if the pathology report from my RtMX is not good, the medical resources here are much better. Mayo.

Happiness is the greatest paradox in nature. It can grow in any soil, live under any conditions. It defies environment. The reason for this is that it does not come from without but from within. Whenever you see a person seeking happiness outside him or herself, you can be sure they have not yet found it. -Forman Lincicome

Our lives are also fed by kind words and gracious behavior. We are nourished by expressions like "excuse me," and other such simple courtesies. Our spirits are also richly fed on compliments and praise, nourished by consideration as well as whole wheat bread. Rudeness, the absence of the sacrament of consideration, is but another mark that our time-is-money society is lacking in spirituality, if not also in its enjoyment of life. -Ed Hays

There are a lot of people who are doing wonderful things,
quietly, with no motive of greed, or hostility toward other people,
or delusions of superiority.
- Charles Kuralt
The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.
- Audrey Hepburn0 -
What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us;
what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.
- Albert Pike
Create the legacy of a better world.
Leave this world a better place than you found it.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie0 -
Conscience, as a mentor, the guide and compass of every
act, leads ever to happiness. When the individual can
stay alone with his or her conscience and get its approval,
without knowing force or specious knowledge, then he
or she begins to know what real happiness is.
William G. Jordan0 -
Doing nothing for others is the undoing of one's self. We must be purposely kind and generous, or we miss the best part of existence. The heart that goes out of itself, gets large and full of joy. This is the great secret of the inner life. We do ourselves the most good doing something for others. -Horace Mann

We're all assigned a piece of garden, a corner of the universe
that is ours to transform. Our corner of the universe is our own
life--our relationships, our homes, our work, our current
circumstances--exactly as they are. Every situation we find
ourselves in is an opportunity, perfectly planned by
the Holy Spirit, to teach love instead of fear.
Marianne Williamson0 -
The individual has always had to struggle to keep
from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you
will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price
is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
Friedrich Nietzsche0 -
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 Beattie0 -
The great thing about life is that as long as we
live we have the privilege of growing.
Joshua L. Liebman0 -
Keep your eyes open to your mercies.
The man who forgets to be thankful has fallen asleep in life.
- Robert Louis Stevenson0 -
"Men of integrity, by their very existence, rekindle the belief
— John W. Gardner
that as a people we can live above the level of moral squalor."0 -
There are no little events in life; those we think of no consequence may be full of fate, and it is at our own risk if we neglect the acquaintances and opportunities that seem to be casually offered, and of small importance. -Amelia Barr

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely, or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature, and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. AS long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. AND I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles. -Anne Frank

We never have more than we can bear. The present hour we are always able to endure. As is our day, so is our strength. If the trials of many years were gathered into one, they would overwhelm us. . . but all is so wisely measured to our strength that the bruised reed is never broken. -H. E. Manning

The question is not what you look at, but what you see.

The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.
M. Scott Peck0 -
You do not have to be rich to be
generous. If you have the spirit of
true generosity, a pauper can give
like a prince.
Corinne U. Wells0 -
Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal for some later date. It isn't. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over. When our attention is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds. . . . Practice keeping your attention on the here and now. Your efforts will pay great dividends.

Change seems to happen when you
have abandoned the chase after what
you want to be (or think you should be)
and have accepted--and fully
experienced--what you are.
Janette Ramwater0 -
"In daily life we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy."
– David Steindl-Rast0 -
Not all of us have to possess
earthshaking talent. Just
common sense and love will do.
Myrtle Auvil0 -
The moment you become miserly you are closed
to the basic phenomenon of life: expansion, sharing.
The moment you start clinging to things,
you have missed the target.
Because things are not the target,
you, your innermost being, is the target -
not a beautiful house, but a beautiful you;
not much money, but a rich you;
not many things, but an open being,
available to millions of things.
- Osho0 -
I have had more than half a century of such happiness. A great deal of worry and sorrow, too, but never a worry or a sorrow that was not offset by a purple iris, a lark, a bluebird, or a dewy morning glory. -Mary McLeod Bethune

It is something to be able to paint a particular picture,
or to carve a statue, and so make a few objects beautiful;
but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere
and medium through which we look.
To affect the quality of the day--that is the highest of arts.
Henry David Thoreau0 -
Your life has been designed to work, and your hidden potential contains what you seek and all that you need in your life. It is OK to be who you are and to choose what you have. The Quakers call it the "still, small voice within," that place of full awareness within that is in touch with the entire universe and is the source of wisdom. In effect, you don't have to keep searching for confirmation by focusing on being someone else or being somewhere else. There is no place else to be and nothing else to get. You will be able to grasp the levers of change in your life when you can allow yourself to be present in the moment, accept the world as it is, and trust that everything is as it was intended to be.
Ari Kiev0 -
This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do this for you. Nothing is too good for you—you deserve the best. Take the power to make your life healthy, exciting, and worthwhile. The time is now. Take the power to create a successful, happy life. -Susan Polis Schutz

The question is not what programs we should seek to enact. The question is whether we can find in our own midst and in our own hearts that leadership of humane purpose that will recognize the terrible truths of our existence. We must admit the vanity of our false distinctions among men and learn to find our own advancement in the search for the advancement of others. We must admit in ourselves that our own children's future cannot be built on the misfortunes of others.
We must recognize that this short life can neither be ennobled or enriched by hatred or revenge. Our lives on this planet are too short and the work to be done too great to let this spirit flourish any longer in our land. Of course we cannot vanquish it with a program, nor with a resolution. But we can perhaps remember, if only for a time, that those who live with us are our brothers, that they share with us the same short moment of life; that they seek, as do we, nothing but the chance to live out their lives in purpose and in happiness, winning what satisfaction and fulfillment they can. Surely, this bond of common faith, this bond of common goal, can begin to teach us something.
Surely, we can learn, at least, to look at those around us as fellow men, and surely we can begin to work a little harder to bind up the wounds among us and to become in our own hearts brothers and countrymen
once again.
--Robert F. Kennedy

The art of thanksgiving is thanksliving. It is gratitude in action. It is applying Albert Schweitzer's philosophy: "In gratitude for your own good fortune you must render in return some sacrifice of your life for other life. "It is thanking God for the gift of life by living it triumphantly. It is thanking God for your talents and abilities by accepting them as obligations to be invested for the common godwit is thanking God for happiness by striving to make others happy. It is thanking God for beauty by helping to make the world more beautiful. It is thanking God for inspiration by trying to be an inspiration for others. It is thanking God for health and strength by the care and reverence you show your body. It is thanking God for each new day by living it to the fullest. It is adding to your prayers of thanksgiving, acts of thanksliving. -Wilfred A. Peterson
