Dead Trees and Money

Here’s something for my usual Sensible Saturday posting that is a slap across the brain…or wallet.

 

 

Shadows and Light

I’m determined to be optimistic in 2017.  So when I saw today’s quote, I was inspired and decided to offer it to you as today’s Thursday Thought.

“Never fear  shadows.  They simply mean there’s light shining somewhere nearby.” — Ruth Renke

Secret Payment

I’d add one thing to today’s Thursday Thought:  Better still if nobody knows you did it.  The secret good feeling is more than enough payment.

Today’s Thursday Thought quote reminds me to think twice in many situations.

“WHAT SUNSHINE IS TO FLOWERS, SMILES ARE TO HUMANITY. THESE ARE BUT TRIFLES, TO BE SURE; BUT SCATTERED ALONG LIFE’S PATHWAY, THE GOOD THEY DO IS INCONCEIVABLE.”  — JOSEPH ADDISON
