I hope you're proud of yourself for the times you've said "yes," when all it meant was extra work for you and was seemingly helpful only to someone else.

I feel the greatest gift we can give to anybody is the gift of our honest self.

If your trusted and people will allow you to share their inner gardern...what better gift?

I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers - so many caring people in this world.

The presence of a grandparent confirms that parents were, indeed, little once, too, and that people who are little can grow to be big, can become parents, and one day even have grandchildren of their own. So often we think of grandparents as belonging to the past; but in this important way, grandparents, for young children, belong to the future.

The purpose of life is to listen - to yourself, to your neighbor, to your world and to God and, when the time comes, to respond in as helpful a way as you can find ... from within and without.

Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people.
