Wisdom for Retirement and All Ages

I love the serendipity of finding exactly what my heart needs in the books I am reading, frequently without deliberately searching. It feels like a gift when I stumble across a message that settles the disquiet in my spirit. Here are some words of wisdom that I plan to keep top of mind when I retire:
“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
― Howard Thurman, The Living Wisdom of Howard Thurman: A Visionary for Our Time

A friend told me I’d like Rosemary’s Blog and indeed, it is wonderful! I love the photography and the watercolours but I also find her literary postings very inspirational.

It was good to read this quotation again. I appreciate his words, but I’m also enjoying this chance to look back through your archives.
