"We cannot tell what may happen to us in the strange medley of life. But we can decide what happens in us --- how we take it, what we do with it --- and that is what really counts in the end. How to take the raw stuff of life and make it a thing of worth and beauty --- that is the test of living."

ReplyDeleteI like that phrase "the strange medley of life"
ReplyDeleteSo very true. And we blow it all too often and even that becomes part of the big picture. Speaking of picture...that is a beautiful one.
ReplyDeleteA mindful sentiment!
