If I regarded my life from the point of view of the pessimist, I should be undone. I should seek in vain for the light that does not visit my eyes and the music that does not ring in my ears. I should beg night and day and never be satisfied. I should sit apart in awful solitude, a prey to fear and despair. But since I consider it a duty to myself and to others to be happy, I escape a misery worse than any physical deprivation. ~ Helen Keller

Helen Keller was an amazing woman. She overcame so much, and her dear teacher was just as amazing. I love this quote that you have posted today. p.s. Is that a confederate rose in the picture?
Hi Bobbie..yes that is a Confederate rose...only the pods are left on it now.
Helen Keller knew how to be happy in spite of everything. That is an amazing gift. It makes you realize how much you have to be thankful for.
Wow, nice words!
You have a very positive blog, just what people need!
