~"In moments of discouragement, defeat, or even despair, there are always certain things to cling to. Little things usually: remembered laughter, the face of a sleeping child, a tree in the wind—in fact, any reminder of something deeply felt or dearly loved. No man is so poor as not to have many of these small candles. When they are lighted, darkness goes away—and a touch of wonder remains." ~ tombstone inscription

Wow! these quotes are really great guys

For those of you who dont know my background all that well I worked in mental health for quite sometime (have a bs psychology degree) and I had a few sayings that I would tell my own "clients" when they would get discouraged.  Sometimes, I have to kick myself in the behind to remember them myself as we are always worse at taking our own advice.

1. If you keep looking back over your shoulder into the past, you will never be prepared for what comes in the future.

2. Sometimes we have to fall backwards alittle inorder to keep moving forward.  (this one is especially true with depression, we live and learn from it)
