A Great Day

It was time to update my email signature today. I like to change the quote that accompanies my emails every few weeks. Here is the one I chose:

If we all did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves.
Thomas Edison

This isn't the first time I have 'discovered' this quote. I used it in a post I wrote back on March 12. When I came across it again today in another source it resonated with me again so I am sharing it once more.

It reminds me of another hero from this day and age - W. Mitchell.

"Before I was paralyzed there were 10,000 things I could do. Now there are 9,000. I can either dwell on the 1,000 I've lost or focus on the 9,000 I have left." - W Mitchell

You can read W Mitchell's story on his website.

Today was a beautiful day here. While I was out running errands, a clerk in a store commented it was the sort of day you just had to smile. She said the previous customer's daughter had just completed chemo after being diagnosed with breast cancer. The daughter had just had a scan and been pronounced cancer free. The Mom was on her way to see her daughter. What a great moment that leaves you to visualize.

There are always reasons to smile. And, we always have the power within ourselves to create that reason to smile.

Have a great day!
