"The difference between holding on to a hurt or releasing it with forgiveness is like the difference between laying your head down at night on a pillow filled with thorns or a pillow filled with rose petals." ---Loren Fischer

"The point is not to pay back kindness but to pass it on."

---Julia Alvarez

"Courage is about doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared."

---Eddie Rickenbacker

"Consult not your fears but your hopes and dreams.

Think not about your frustrations,

but about your unfulfilled potential.

Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in,

but with what is still possible for you to do."

---Pope John XXIII

"If a man is called to be a street sweeper,

he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted,

or Beethoven composed music,

or Shakespeare composed poetry.

He should sweep streets so well that

all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say,

'Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.'"

---Martin Luther King, Jr.

I am the BEST Darn Beagle and

do my BEST each and every day.
