Quotes

Words can be hurtful and spiteful, yet they can also be powerful and meaningful.  Each and every day we may come across some idea, phrase or saying that touches our life or impacts us in a certain way.  I have a Word Document that I often keep saved on a computer or flash drive that when I hear something said, I’ll add it to that list of quotes or things that I found particularly meaningful. 

Initially for this blog, I was going to choose one quote and write an entire blog on that – the feelings that I felt, the message it conveyed and how I interpreted it and so forth.  But, as I sat here and pondered just which quote to choose, I realized it was going to be a rather daunting task.  So instead of following my initial plan, I am going divert from the initial agenda and post a variety of some of my favorite quotes – some may be in picture form and others just written out.   Rather than I describe how that saying impacted me personally or what I believe the message is that’s trying to be relayed, I challenge you to take a few moments and read through each quote, absorb it and see how it may or may not affect you. You come to your own conclusions surrounding these particular quotes or sayings. But, always remember words have powerful meanings – sometimes obvious, sometimes hidden.  So choose your words carefully and leave your mark!
