I thought I'd step out on my own as admin and take the suggestion Rose gave us for a quote board.
So if there is something you've heard that has impacted your life in a positive and uplifting way, please feel free to share it here. Just please be sure to let us know the person who said the quote, and if you don't know, then simply tell us at the end of the quote "unknown".
And here is my challenge to all of you. I would challenge each one of you to come up with some "Words of Wisdom" with your name at the end of it. What "Words of Wisdom" can you create from within your own lives that might help or encourage others?

I'll go first with my own personal words of wisdom:
"Don't live your life hanging onto the past, cause eventually you're going to lose your grip."--hoosiermom1973

Ooh, good ones Rose! "Just because your ears are shaped like potato chips doesn't mean you're Wise"--my pépé (Wise is the brand name of some American potato chips FYI) "I have half a mind to tell you what I'm really thinking. Fortunately it's the other half of my mind that has the keys to my mouth."--yours truly.

I thought I'd share some of my ancestor's words of wisdom "An áit a bhuil do chroí is ann a thabharfas do chosa thú." -Your feet will bring you to where your heart is. (Irish Proverb) "Is maith an scáthán súil charad." -A friend's eye is a good mirror (Irish Proverb) "A dishonest woman can't be kept in and an honest woman won't" (Irish Proverb)
