"No amount of soul-searching will allow us to fully understand who we are. Only through looking for the wonder in others will we truly find ourselves." Barry
I collect the quotes and each day choose what I'm going to put up. I only select ones that have meaning to me, and I try to put some thought into which ones I use. I usually prepare them the night before when I have more time and set them to post at 7:00am the next morning (9pm your time).
I choose them based on how I'm feeling at that moment; sometimes if I think a quotation will have a special meaning to someone I know I'll use that. Many co-workers and friends have told me they help them through rough spots. I'm not going to change the world but the only purpose of this site is to help people. If I'm doing that even a bit it would be overwhelming.
Thanks for your words Annalisa. Like you I always look forward to reading what someone has to say. The point isn't even for people to agree with what I've posted but to get them talking and sharing their opinions. I love a good conversation!
Thanks. I haven't written many, but when I do write it feels like it's the heart that guides my pen and not my hand. Being a writer yourself I'm sure you can understand what I mean.
Thanks for your comment Linda. Hope it's warmer in California than it is up here right now where I live (near Toronto).

Wow Barry that is a beautiful quote.
ReplyDeleteI love quotes that take about finding our selves and finding out who we are.
Question: With your blog are the quotes random or are they put there to show your life for that day?

That's a nice quote, Barry. Life changing events and challenges can give us a whole new perspective on life.
