Believe in the goodness of life


Look for what is good, and you will find it.


A good life is not lived by chance, but by choice. We can be wise from goodness, and good from wisdom.


Find something to love with all your heart.


Inspiration and contribution go hand-in-hand. Our friends Mary and Theresa gave us this beautiful rose bush. We were inspired and they contributed - how generous!

Go out and find where people hold their potential and meet them there. Be not only good for yourself, but the cause of goodness in others.

  4. pve - it makes a HUGE difference when you choose to believe in the goodness of life, instead of the negative.

  7. A very thoughtful post. There is something to be grateful for each day when we rise. Seeing the good in others is so easy- much easier than hunting for the not-so-good!
