Betsy's Trip to Barnes and Noble

Today I went into Barnes and Noble to buy notebooks for Kenya.
And I found all these magnets that spoke to me. Hope you will enjoy them too.
“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away.”
“If you are going to doubt something, doubt your limits.”
“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you’ve imagined.”
“Be the change you wish to see in the world”—Gandhi
“Be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars. In the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.”
“Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”
“There is no use trying,” said Alice; “one can’t believe impossible things.”
“ I dare say you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”—Lewis Carroll
AND MY PERSONAL FAVOIRITE:
“Life is short. Eat dessert first.”
So now all these magnets are on my refrigerator.
And in the next 2 weeks I am going to try to follow all that great advice. Thank you for your prayers and encouragement. If a year ago you had told me I would be going to Kenya to speak at the Rotary Club about the Mercy Care Centre, I would have been sure there were rocks in your head.
Hugs, betsy

Dear Betsy
You are probably winging over the Atlantic as I write this. Know that you go with my prayers and that I keep you close to my heart
Love
