Important Thoughts

Never forget that you are one of a kind.

Never forget that if there weren't any need for you in all your uniqueness to be on this earth, you wouldn't be here in the first place.

And never forget, no matter how overwhelming life's challenges and problems seem to be, that one person can make a difference in the world.

In fact, it is always because of one person that all the changes that matter in the world come about.

So be that one person.

Thank you Judy, and I won't forget.

The color of the flower is so attractive.

Very inspiring.

So often I forget that I am only one person - especially when I'm trying to be super mom. I need to remind myself that I'm not super mom - I am just one person, one unique individual.

Thanks for reminding me to be just me (at least once in awhile, or when the kids are sleeping).

I have had just the opposite thought lately. Sometimes when I'm on the bus looking at the other riders, I think of what their lives must be like and why it makes a difference that I am here. Wouldn't everything just keep on going without a blip if I were not here? This quote makes me think otherwise. I forget that my essence is unique. Thanks for reminding me.

Thank you. Sometimes I think we all get so stressed out and immersed in our own chaos that we forget to see the bright side of things.

~Peace and Love to all

I'm not sure that I'm feeling very unique right now, but it's a nice thought to bear in mind.

I love your quote, Judy! Sometimes people don't realize that a passing hello, a hug, or even a simple smile can make someone's day. The smallest gesture or word can really make a difference. Thank you for the gentle reminder. You really hit the nail on the head with this one. Your photo is absolutely beautiful, as are you!

Your words are so true and I love your pictures. My Granddaddy always told me "you're one of a kind girl". That's one of 3 lines I'll always remember him telling me...
