Quote of the Week


Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine.
 - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Whenever we feel down or overwhelmed perhaps we should look inside ourselves to see if we are casting a shadow over our own happiness.

    Beautiful, poignant quote, as one would expect from the genius that is Emerson. This reminds me of Plato's analogy of the cave :)

    Linda,

    You do an excellent job with these quotes. I always love the picture and the quote, but what really makes it special is how you interpret the quote.

    Thanks for this reminder today:~)
