There are two quotes that keep running through my mind lately.  They contain words that could be helpful to me, in facing daily communications with those I come in contact with. 

Words especially suited for political conversations, where emotions rise quickly to the
surface.  This quote may be just what I need at times, in the political forefront of our
country and our county, right now, where emotions tend to run high.  The quote I read,
is this;
"Sometimes, not saying anything is the best answer.  You see, silence can never be
misquoted."      ~  http://www.iliketoquote.com

The other quote is a friendship  quote, that resonated with my spirit when I read it.  I know there
are so many friendship quotes everywhere, but this one stuck with me;

"Be the type of person you want to meet."    ~unknown author

When I walked out my back door yesterday, it was a wet, gray, and quite drab sight. 
Then last evening I saw this picture in my photo archives, from the same back door,  and
I was reminded that Spring is coming...very soon!  What an encouraging thought on this
cold morning.

Thanks for stopping by!  Thanks for all the kind comments about the brunch post and the
dear one that it honored.
