The Power of a Word

"Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others." Cicero


"Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless." - Mother Teresa


"Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible,, and achieves the impossible." - Anonymous


"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." Henry David Thoreau

"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love." - Sophocles


These are closeup photos of garden plaques that I made in pottery class. I plan to embellish them with beads, wire and other artifacts and hang them outdoors.

I enjoy scattering these one word plaques all over the farm because it is a nice way to take a mini-break and pause to consider their meaning to me whenever I happen to come upon one. I love the power of positive words - written, spoken, or dreamed - they shape our thoughts , feelings and actions and affect those around us.
Wishing you all especially good words and great thoughts today!
