Each Day
Some of the photos on this page are courtesy of Kepguru.
Some are from powerpoint shows e-friends have shared with me.
Unlike most of the web pages on Whispers, this page doesn't feature photos
from one particular country or region.  Instead, it focuses on the pictures
themselves and the art and skill of the legions of talented photographers
who travel the world looking for beauty and wonder.  These photos
demonstrate that they very often find it.  -- Nancy

Each Day
Think Like a Tree
The remarkable thing we have each morning is a choice
regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
We cannot change our past.
We cannot change the fact that
people will act in a certain way.
We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do
is play on the one string we have,
and that is our attitude.
-- Charles R. Swindoll
Whether or not the world will be renewed some day remains to be seen.
But, within ourselves, we must renew it each day.  
-- Herman Hesse
Soak up the sun.
Be graceful in the wind.
Stand tall after a storm.
Give shelter to strangers.
Be prepared for each season.
Hang tough through a cold spell.
Emerge renewed at the first sign of spring.
Stay rooted while reaching for the sky.
Be still long enough to hear your own leaves rattling.
-- Karen Shragg
Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself.
Don't lose patience when considering your own imperfections,
but set about remedying them.  Every day, begin the task anew.
-- St. Francis de Sales
