Courage doesn't always roar
Sometimes courage is the quiet voice
at the end of the day saying
"I will try again tomorrow"
Mary Ann Radmacher
If I were to have a tattoo running up my inner arm from elbow to wrist in some handwritten fancy script - calligraphic like - it would be this quote. This sentence that means so much to me, yet I'm always forgetting it. I forget and then I hear it again and I think "Oh yeah ! that's it exactly". This sentence so comforting to me. I remember that it's OK if at the end of most of my days, as I snuggle into the nest of down & flannel about to rush off to someone else's world through my latest great est bedtime book and reflect on the day just past I'm almost always thinking to myself. Yes I will ...
Yes I will ... I will try again tomorrow.
I always do.
That's the great thing about new days ...
I too often forget to live my life in days, in moments
like the one I found in this photograph
Wonderful advice.
ReplyDeleteI have two:
"Don't let yesterday use up too much of today."
and
"The best things in life, aren't things."
That photo is lovely.
I had to swallow a lump the size of Signal Hill when I read that quote...

ReplyDeleteWhy is it that as a child I used to see ladybirds everywhere, and now I rarely see one. Same with an interesting array of caterpillars. Guess I was closer to that world then. Also there are obviously more pesticides around.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo Susan.
It can be such a challenge to remember to say goodnight at the end of each day, and to begin again the next morning. This is excellent advice, and timely as I get ready for bed this evening.
ReplyDeleteSusan, have just found your blog via some link to your collage work. What a glorious thing it is! How I wish I could get to your mixed media workshop but as I live in the UK I don't think that's going to happen but I shall bookmark you for a regular read! Beautiful photos and I love the way you wear your heart on your sleeve.How honest of you.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful post dear Susan and an inspiring quote, it reminds us that there is a tomorrow, another chance to get things right or to hope for some positive change.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this quote, I had not heard it before ... when I go to bed each night and my day has not been the best I do hope that the morning will bring better things, new chances and most important, new moments.
xoxoxo ♡
wise words and a great quote which i am adopting too.
