Whatever I am right now, I have created out of the raw materials given to me.
Every time I fall, I learn to walk and then fly.
Every time I am silenced, I learn to speak and then sing.
Every time I mourn, I find my smiles are truer and bigger the next time they come.
Every time I close my eyes, I open to find the beauty around me is ever more vivid.
Every time I make a friend, I see the friend who lives in me.

Every time I open my ears and quiet my heart, then words from my mouth, a little more wise, follow after.
thank you for your beautiful words, Stan! Always enjoy!

Yes, that too.
You’re welcome and thanks for stopping by to read.
Thank you so very much, Stan. I am honored by your beautiful and meaningful words, and these will fill the spirit of the house and will be always with me.
…I feel really good about that, Susan…
My floors are now installed, and I continue to be inspired, Stan. Thank you again! Here is a reflection I wrote on the project http://www.voicelifted.com/built-on-the-foundation-of-love/
