I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something;
And because I cannot do everything,
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do”
– From The Book of Good Cheer : A Little Bundle of Cheery Thoughts (1909) by Edwin Osgood Grover
I wanted to share this little passage I came across about a week ago as a reminder how important it is that you do the something that you can do to make a difference. In fact to make THE difference. This little 'cheery thought' reminds me that even though we cannot do everything, we CAN DO SOMETHING and it is important that we do the something we can do in this lifetime
In the past week I've reflected on the past few years or so as the most recent chapter in my journey to arrive at today, working with my unique creative expression in the world and helping other inspiring and amazing women to do the same. Why is today the day I have chosen to look back? Well today is a special day for me... it's my birthday! It's therefore the perfect day of the year to remember what it is that makes me the person I am ~ the one who has chosen to do the something that I can do and to celebrate that with those I love and those who have shaped my life
