Life's Little Lessons
Sometimes, all we need is a little help to lift us up when we are down – a hug, a kind word, or a word of encouragement. There is power in words. The right words at the right time, at the right place can change a person’s point of view, or in some cases, a person’s life. It is like a key opening the lock to a recess of the mind which we did not know existed. Here are some aphorisms, maxims and truisms – motivational and inspirational words to nudge you along life’s journey during your moments of doubt.

Thank you @primal-buddhist for stopping by. And for the heads up on the #philosophy tag. I didn't realized there is such a tag. Let's see if that can attract a few interested readers. :-)

I have a 'mahjong' session with my brother and sisters - a family day.
Have you heard of the game? If not here's some information on it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahjong
Have a great weekend, my friend. I hope you have something interesting planned. :-)
howdy sir Vincent! Yes I've heard of it but never played it, I'll check out the link. Well we have church tomorrow then come back, catch up on steemit then we have to take our pool filter apart and wash it out, that's a real hassle. So a busy day but it should be fun.
