wisdom thursday?

Normally I try to do a “Wisdom Wednesday,” but it just didn’t work out this time.  Regardless, there are so many things on my mind today – what with the continued rhetoric over politics, my daughter’s current struggle with some “mean girls” at school, the sometimes “overwhelmingness” (is that even a word?!) of trying to balance home, work, and school, the sadness that seems to be constantly hovering these days, and even the thought of driving in the #(&$ snowstorm we’re supposed to be getting tonight.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I really could use some words of hopefulness right about now.

“The road that is built in hope is more pleasant to the traveler than the road built in despair, even though they both lead to the same destination.”

~~Marion Zimmer Bradley

And another, from one of my all-time favorites, Robert Brault (www.robertbrault.com):

God sends the dawn

that we might see

the might-have-beens

that still might be.
