Hello Rose

This is the 1,862 issues of Vagabond Journeys. I began in 2006 to jot down quotes from many various sources to use to introduce each time I posted an item. My motive was to provide readers with a bit of wisdom, information, whimsy and humor. I have loved doing it. But I have so few readers now compared with what I use to have. Today I looked over some of the quotes I haven't used yet and see that some of them aren't as wise and clever as I once thought. I have 113 pages of them and it's a mining job to sift through them with flashlight and shovel to come to one I feel will be the most beneficial and interesting to you who read me. Today, instead of writing anything I thought I would give you some of the quotes I haven't used yet but without my comments. So here is

Another great thought thinking read DB. Life is what each of us make of it. We each have to allow ourself to have happiness to be part of our life....hopefully more happiness than not. Life offers each of us so many challenges, we each have to decide if we are going to give in to them or move forward in a more positive direction.

These are really good quotes.
"Vagabond Journeys" always contains such a wealth of information that all your efforts should be compiled into a book.
