Week One

"Happiness is not a goal, it is a by-product."
~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Week Two

"Another pointless habit of many of us it to save little and useless things with the idea that 'some day' we might be able to make use of them. That day, in most instances, never dawns. We hang on to this accumulating and useless debris as tenaciously as a starved canine to a dry and brittle bone. The ultimate result is an accumulation of just plain junk."
~ Author Unknown

Week Three

Recipe for Friendship

~ Lawrence E. Estes

Just a pinch of kindness,
A drop or two of grace,
A spoonful of sweetness,
A happy smiling face.

A measure of fondness,
A heaping cup of cheer,
A heart that is sharing
When troubles appear.

Stir with truth and meaning
And you'll have to agree
That these ingredients
Make a splendid recipe!

Week Four

"No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it to any one else."
~ Charles Dickens

Week Five

"It is impossible to know only your own subject thoroughly and still be an 'expert' in it: for a genuine expert is one who knows how his subject relates to allied subjects, and grasps both the heirarchy and the interdependence of disciplines in a broad continuum of understanding."
~ Author Unknown
