Grateful Friday

Beware of the door with too many keys.
~Portuguese Proverb

Have the courage to say no. 

Have the courage to face the truth. 

Do the right thing because it is right. 

These are the magic keys to living your life with integrity.”

~W. Clement Stone

“A catless writer is almost inconceivable. It's a perverse taste, really, since it would be easier to write with a herd of buffalo in the room than even one cat; 

they make nests in the notes and bite the end of the pen and walk on the typewriter keys.”

~Barbara Holland
