Just because you can’t see the stars during the day, doesn’t mean they aren’t there. Just because your friends are not beside you, does not mean they are not there. Just because you can’t see the help you need, doesn’t mean it isn’t there. Sometimes all you have to do is ask. Just because you can’t see your friends, does not mean they are not there. Sometimes you have to look a little harder for the stars, you have to ask for the help, you have to call to your friends. It is all there though. You are not alone. With the friends you have, you are able to reach the stars, you will have a reason to smile, a reason to not quit. The sky really is just the start. There is so much beyond, and you can reach it. If you don’t think you get there alone, ask for help from your friends, you can do it. You can make anything happen because you are you. You have strength inside you. You have your friends, and they believe in you. You have the stars, and they shine for you. Above all, believe in yourself.

A Mixed Bag 
A very timely post for me, Al. As you know, on July 31 I’m ending my 36-year university career. August 1 will be the first day of the rest of my life. I need the courage to step out of my comfort zone and go after my dreams of a dynamic, creative future.
That one step, that leap of faith, is all you need. Once you manage to do it, you will wonder why you were ever worried. Until you do though, it will be something to look forward to with trepidation. You will be fine. You will be able to do it. Take Lyle on a trip – just don’t let him park pars. HAHA That one still makes me laugh
Thanks for the encouragement, Al.
🙂
Wonderful quotes, every one! 🙂
Thank you LuAnn. I think I am running out and repeating them. As long as I don’t repeat them too often though, the message should still be there
I love the one about worrying and peace! It’s so true plus it wastes your day! 😀 I love this A. A-Awesome!
It wastes everything. Thanks M
Encouraging as always.
I hope it helps some people. Thanks Kim
That is my biggest problem since Al died. I can’t see the sky. I see only what is in front of me. Thanks for helping me to see or remind me to look at a different angle
It will take a long time to get over. It’s not something that you can walk away from straight away. You will get there. It just takes time
I like what you said the best.
Thank you, I really appreciate that.
I’m glad.
So so so true…. The first one is huge for my daughter! I am sending it to her today! Thanks Al! 🙂
It’s one similar to what I tell people.
Is worrying going to make it better? No
Is worrying going to make you feel better? No
Will worrying make it worse? No
Will worrying make you feel worse? Yes
So why worry?
EXACTLY!!!
I try not to worry, although there are times when I have no choice
