    So beautiful. Imagine if everyone felt this way and put into life rather than just grabbing what we want from it.

    What great quotes and the selection of pictures reminds me of what is so often overlooked by eyes glued to the ugliness of the world. Thanks.

    I really like it! I didn’t exactly understand what the quote was about until I saw the photos as well! So, be all the time what we pretend in front of people’s eyes to be …
    Thank you for sharing!

    Living with honor has been lost in our selfie/ social media world today. Thanks for reminding us.

    Very moving. Sadly, I’m reminded of two local fire fighters in their thirties who recently died in while fighting horrific fires.

    Exactly! Words are cheap (and I say that as a writer). Sometimes, we need to actually “do” and lead by our example.

    I came back to say that, in my mind, you are a personification of these quotes.
