You Never Said Good Morning…

Mesmerized, 6 am, on my comfy-cozy sofa, staring into my laptop screen. I feel my girl-child settle into the blankets next to me. Transfixed, without averting my gaze and only somewhat conscious of her warm, sleepy presence, I instinctively lift my arm to snuggle her into my side.

We stare… the two of us.

After many, many moments, I turn to look at her… and she to me.

“You nevah said good mo-awning to me…”

I look down at her. She gazes up at me from her place, nestled into my armpit. I smooth her hair from her face and kiss her forehead. I can’t help but smile.
“Good morning.”

Keep on going, and the chances are that you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I never heard of anyone ever stumbling on something sitting down. -Charles Kettering

Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them. -Orison Swett Marden

… when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason. - John Keats

Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve! - Andrew Carnegie

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. -Henry David Thoreau
