Bessie-isms:

*To wake up and have a new day to use, to once more be able to try and accomplish more, to learn and to love, is the greatest blessing. It certainly beats out the alternate; not waking up at all!

*Decisions made in the depths of despair are seldom good. Make your decisions before you reach such a point, especially deciding to never give in to despair, should it arrive.

Quotable:

The safest road to hell is the gradual one, the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.

C. S. Lewis
