Catching each golden ray

Glowing from morning sunrise

Motivating from depths within

Opportunity’s faithful prize

Embracing journey’s breath

Pursuing trials ahead

Moving always forward with hope

Opportunity’s next beachhead

Freshening life’s outlook

Following trusted light’s way

Stepping through one more open gate

Opportunity’s grateful play

Exploring adventures

Discovering hidden road

Seeking one final victory

Opportunity’s next crossroad

Pausing now to give thanks

Relishing each blessed day

Looking toward day’s next chapter

Opportunity’s true gateway

If you want to be happy for life, love what you do.

Happiness is like mercury. Hard to hold, and when we drop it, it shatters into a million pieces. Maybe the bravest of all are those who have the courage to reach for it again.

Mary Higgins Clark (1927-2020) was an American writer of suspense novels.

Posted on January 22, 2025 by bigskybuckeye

From Mark 12:29-31: “Jesus answered, ‘The first is, Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Theodore Roosevelt Quotes

Posted on January 18, 2025 by bigskybuckeye

A man who is good enough to shed his blood for the country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards.

Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.

[Both quotes come from separate speeches during 1903 where President Roosevelt was proposing his “Square Deal” as part of the federal government’s progressive reforms.]

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) was the 26th President of the United States.
