Winston Curchill

              This week the inspirational quote I am going to give you is a much more memorable one. It has a lot to do with friends on my part. As soon as I found it I thought of one of my close friend who moved away. It made me smile at the kind of thought you never know what you really had until you do not have it any more. The quote I pick was from the famous British leader Winston Churchill. He said “We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.” Winston Churchill. When I look at that quote it makes me think of my friend I have not seen or talked to in such a long time. The last time we talked we were up in Wisconsin. I remember it better than I remember what I did yesterday. It was a warm day with that kind of wind that feels like a gentle touch. He told me he was going to Poland to live and raise his family. My whole life I never knew he was originally from Poland. I always knew him by his American name Chris. He told me he was done with school and he was ready to go home. So we talked for a couple of hours and I have not seen him since. For a while we wrote letters to each other but that slowly stopped. Before he left to Poland we exchanged gifts. I gave him a die I loved when I was a kid and he gave me a penny. I keep that penny in a lockbox. Every time I look at it I think of him. The quote reminded me of that memory I had as I went through my lockbox on Tuesday. It made me think of just a simple gift like made him a friend in my mind for life. After he got an education from America he went and gave a good life to his family. What other things dose this story remind you of? 

Chinese Proverb

            My blog post will be on inspirational quotes that I can relate to myself every week. I will tell you how the inspirational quote relates to my life. I would love it if you could relate the inspirational quote to your life or a situation it reminds you of. Tell it like if you were telling a story to a little kid. You do not have to tell me everything if you do not feel comfortable with it. I would love even the small simple responses. You will not be judged for what you post. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. Like a little get away. Tell me both the good and bad parts of my quotes. If it is hard to understand please tell me.

            My first inspirational quote will be “Do not forget small kindness and do not remember small faults.” Chinese Proverb. This reminds me of my friend how rented out a room in his house to his stepson. His stepson left and said he would pay him back every Friday. He never showed. Though my friend was upset he let it go and still loves his stepson for the little things he has done. I love looking at friends through this quote because whenever I get in a fight with someone. I look at this quote. It reminds me of the good in people and helps me get over the bumps in the road. It is like the saying forgive and forget. Don’t linger in the past look for happiness in the future. I would love to hear what you have to say on this quote.
