I don’t know if I am going to ever post blog articles again at the rate I did before. But I do want to write one now and again. Here is a quick thought from a previous post. I love this quote because it reminds me that we are not alone, and we need to care about each other.
What I do affects you, and what you do affects me.

My quick thought for today is to remember that everyone has value. We can find it within ourselves when we look for it, when we nurture it, and when we are kind to each other.
John Steinbeck wrote about the struggle within us all between good and evil in East of Eden, which I discuss here.
We should look for good in others. We can help reduce negativity in the world by trying to find the value in other people. In All the Light We Cannot See, Anthony Doerr discusses the light that is hidden in each of us. We can make the world better by sharing our own light, and recognizing the light in others.

I’m a little behind on my For Whom the Bell Tolls post, so this is a filler until I stop procrastinating. This quote is from Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech (a book that I found to be a welcome surprise). You can read about my thoughts on it here.
I love this quote because we do seem to spend a lot of our time on things that are really not that important. Instead, if we can remember to spend even just a little time on the things that really matter, I believe we will be happier. I have looked back on lost opportunities with regret. We can avoid that little twinge of sadness by making time for the most important parts of life.
Spending time with our loved ones, developing a skill, learning something new, enjoying nature, improving our mind or body, and becoming a more developed person are all things we will never regret.
Life gets busy quickly, and it’s important to have downtime too. But we should also value the things that matter the most and find time for them above all.
