Words of Wisdom! Nothing worthwhile comes easy.
Thanks for sharing, Doug! These words are so true!! Hope you have a day filled with growth! :)
Thanks Doug. A good reminder and encouragement.
I need help Doug. I love the site but can\'t figure out how to read the rest of the messages or little parts of messages that show up on my home page. I\'m Mom4tags or Kathy and I would be so happy to find out how to read these things.
Doug, I always love your daily Affirmations! I see that you said, \"Helen Keller, blind and deaf educator\". She also could not speak. They called it blind, deaf, and \"dumb\"....can you believe it? Back then, I guess it was acceptical language. Now now it just sounds terrible; but what an amazing person she was.
BTW...Mom4tags, I completely agree with you; had trouble navigating the \"parts\" of messages also. Someone was nice enough to explain it to me.
They are not always messages to read infull, just an update on status. Disappointing at times, right? Especially when they write stuff you want to hear more about.
Meant to say acceptable....but that doesn\'t sound right either. No one was PC back then.
Ain`t that the truth
