Even though you guys have it much worse, In Australia we too are starting to feel things getting worse.
But remember: Each day comes bearing it's own gifts. You just have to untie the ribbons....

I am a quote collector and love the one by Helen Keller. Yes...we can all overcome the suffering and change the way we look at things, as after all, we're creating our reality! I think there will be lots of good come out of these awful hard times, as we learn to appreciate what's really important in life and it's not houses, fancy cars, etc. My Aunt was thrilled recently to have paid off all her family's debt, and then was diagnosed with Metastic Breast Cancer! It changes everything! Blessings, Lisa

I have no inspirational quote I'm afraid* but to lift my spirits today I am going to go outside and "prune" bits of the garden in the sunshine! And breathe in the scent of Spring :o)
* My quotes tend to be more of the pithy variety!!
