I read this in a newsletter I received today.

"Words to live by"- by John Wesley.

Do all the good you can,

By all the means you can,

In all the places you can,

To all the people you can,

As long as ever you can.

Just giving someone an encouraging word on this site and helping someone else feel better may help you also.

From Leonard Cohen’s “Anthem:”

Ring the bells that still can ring  
Forget your perfect offering  
There is a crack in everything  
That’s how the light gets in.

Life is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s the way it is. The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.
