Inspirational quotes

My two and a half year old granddaughter keeps saying to me: Gran, you are my favourite old lady in the whole, wide, world!
It gives me such a warm feeling. I just ignore the old part

My DGD4 when she was 5 (she is now 7), asked her Mum, what are the 5 senses?

DD listed them, sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. DGD then said 'what about sense of humour'?

Says it all really.

Hmmmmm. I try very hard to be the best Gran a child could want. DH, however, is a grumpy old man. He takes a very firm line with the DGSs. He allows no nonsense whatsoever and is (I think) unreasonably strict. Result? They adore him and recently said that, 'Grandad is their favourite person in the whole world!'
Och!

I can relate to that Jane10 so unfair. ?

Five year old DGS greeted me at the door with a huge hug and "you are my Ninja-gran"! Apparently he has a library book of the same name.
I am still not sure what DD added to the story to convince him, however I have told him I am still in training so he is currently teaching me his ninja moves

As to your question about inspirational quotes hopeful ... my favourite has always been ^Smile! it kills time between disasters^

My Mums favourite , said through gritted teeth , God helps those that help themselves !

"If you always do what you've always done you'll always get what you've always got"

“You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

Almost all my favourite inspirational quotes come from the Hundred Acre Wood.

If you keep doing what your doing you will keep getting what you get.

Change the changeable
Accept the unchangeable
And remove yourself from the unacceptable

“What’s for you will not go by you.” said in a Glaswegian accent by my Granny.

My wise, but not highly educated, lovely mum always said, " It is not the experience you have but what you learn from it that counts"

Sorry just re read my post "get a different result" not the same!

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

That last one was written by Helen Keller, born both totally blind and deaf. Her approach to life is a total inspiration, but I fall short so often!

My GD aged three recently said to me "It makes me happy when you come to my house Grandma". What a delightful thing to say. I was smiling for the rest of the day

If there is righteousness in the heart there will be beauty in the character
If there is beauty in the character there will be harmony in the home
If there is harmony in the home there will be order in the nation
If there is order in the nation there will be love and peace in the world ......

My gd lives with us, she is now 18 when she was young I remember so many things she would say, that were so sweet
One was always I love living with you nana and grandad.
And also love you to the stars nana. Still get a cuddle now and then.

On a glorious sunny day a friend and I were waiting at a bus stop in Ireland. My friend, who has poor sense of direction, was asked by a fellow traveller where she was going to which she replied that she didn't know. The response in a broad Irish accent was "And what a beautiful day it is to not know where you're going." A motto for life. ☘️

Make new friends, but keep the old.
One is silver, the other gold.

'This too, shall pass' (be it good or not so good).

The smallest good deed is better than the best good intention.

If you cant change something, change the way you think about it
