You attract what you fear.

Every thought is like a request.

What others give you is what they want.

One day, about fourteen years ago when she was about 79, she looked me straight in the eyes and said, “It just keeps getting better and better.”

She refused to celebrate her birthday. In fact, until recently I never knew her birth date, oh, I knew or suspected it was sometime in September, but I respected her wish. She would say if anyone asked her how old she was, “I’m ageless.” She said she refused to be labeled by how many times the earth revolved around the sun.

She told me that once your children are grown, your only job is to love them.

I once said to her how I missed how adorable children are when they are young and she replied that when they were grown up they were so much more interesting.

She taught me that whenever I see an ambulance or fire truck or paramedics go screaming by to KNOW, “Where that is, God is.”

she taught me, “You can’t lose what’s yours.”

I forgot to say, these are things my mother taught me.
