Thursday Thirteen

Choices
Woke up this morning to wind and rain and decided I had a choice to make. I could pull up the soft covers and hide from the clouds or get out and put my day in order. On days like this I have to remind myself that I can make the choices that will make my time what I want it to be.

So, here I am to share with you thirteen favorite pieces of advice and inspiration to move your day along too.  

1. Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat. –Theodore Roosevelt
2. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy. –Joseph Campbell
3. In a moving world re-adaptation is the price of longevity. –George Santayana
