Inspirations in Times of Distress

[Coco]

I am going to be going through something very stressful this week. Yesterday, I picked up a book with a few inspirations in it that I thought I would share. If anyone has any good inspirations in times of trouble, I would like to hear them.

Here are some inspirations I came across:

"The finest pearls are not usually found just on the beach, but must be gotten by diving into sometimes treacherous waters to be gotten."

"God sometimes leads us into deep waters not to drown us, but to cleanse us."

(authors unknown)

Thanks Coco, I needed that. My grandmother passed away a few weeks ago and my other one is about to....so I've been needing some inspiration. Good luck with what you are going through. And I'll leave you with this.

DON'T QUIT
When things go wrong,
As they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile,
But you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must,
But Don't You Quit!

Life is strange with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up through the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup
And he learned too late when the night came down
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem the worst
That You Mustn't Quit!

"Some of you say, 'Joy is greater than sorrow', and others say, 'Nay, sorrow is the greater.'

But I say unto you, they are inseparable.

Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.

Verily, you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy.

Only when you are empty, are you at standstill and balanced.

When the treasure-keeper lifts you to weigh his gold and his silver, needs must your joy or your sorrow rise or fall."

---"The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran

"Sure, radio had a simple dignity. But people wanted to see the grieving families. And, as usual, technology refused to be dignity's bitch."
---'The Daily Show' on the advent of television

Oh, by the way, which one's pinky?
