I do not think of all the misery, but of the glory that remains. Go outside into the fields, nature and the sun, go out and seek happiness in yourself and in God. Think of the beauty that again and again discharges itself within and without you and be happy. ~ Anne Frank

    When you consider the situation Miss Frank was in and her attitude.... well, it is inspirational...
    We have so much to be thankful for no matter what is going on around us.... you are inspirational
    and a fine example of that also. We should all be so wise as this young woman was.

    So many times it is easy to let to let what is wrong overwhelm us. What she endured and still remained positive should be an example to us all............there you are so right. Seeing myself as inspirational.......now there I have a problem, but I will say thank you and tell you that you have given me the gift of self worth this morning and that will make this a blessed day.

    ((((HUGS)))

    I sit here and try to think of something wonderful, uplifiting, and inspiring to write... but then I realized all that is accomplished simply by being in your presence, rendering anything I say redundant.

    I love your spirit and love of life Linda...

    Agreed! Thank you for reminding us! Anne Frank had been deprived of these blessings, and knew what she was talking about!

    Funny you should say this, Danette.... When I posted this earlier... I saw you had posted something and
    wanted to go there (My grandson wanted my laptop to watch dirt bikes on you tube) so it is a great reminder to
    me to visit the friends I am connected to and grateful for!!!

    Such deep words coming from Ms. Frank, and the insanity of the days she was living through.
