The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow;
it empties today of its strength.

it empties today of its strength.
~ Corrie Ten Boom
Any change, any loss, does not make us victims. Others can shake you, surprise you, disappoint you, but they can't prevent you from acting, from taking the situation you're presented with and moving on. No matter where you are in life, no matter what your situation, you can always do something. You always have a choice and the choice can be power.

“I no longer have patience for certain things, not because I’ve become arrogant, but simply because I reached a point in my life where I do not want to waste more time with what displeases me or hurts me. I have no patience for cynicism, excessive criticism and demands of any nature. I lost the will to please those who do not like me, to love those who do not love me and to smile at those who do not want to smile at me. I no longer spend a single minute on those who lie or wa...nt to manipulate. I decided not to coexist anymore with pretense, hypocrisy, dishonesty and cheap praise. I do not tolerate selective erudition nor academic arrogance. I do not adjust either to popular gossiping. I hate conflict and comparisons. I believe in a world of opposites and that’s why I avoid people with rigid and inflexible personalities. In friendship I dislike the lack of loyalty and betrayal. I do not get along with those who do not know how to give a compliment or a word of encouragement. Exaggerations bore me and I have difficulty accepting those who do not like animals. And on top of everything I have no patience for anyone who does not deserve my patience.”

It's too long for a needlepoint, but wow does it say it all!!! Posted and read with great understanding and implementation.
Meryl Streep is my favorite actress and this quote really sums me up, perfectly.
**** . . .life's too short.
And . . speak up for yourself and you don't have to be mean to do so. Be sure your bowels move often. That solves more problems than you can imagine. Nothing like a good dump!
I like the underlined part the most.
