    Betsy, what a beautiful quote. And so true in so many ways. It makes me think of several people in my life...who have lived this quote...You, included.

    Loving you today ~

    Spring came just long enough for the daffodils to bloom, but it seems to be gone again!

    Great quote, but the things you do are far from common. You do very special things in a very special way and because of it you command the attention - and the respect - of all your many friends. Happy Spring Betsy.

    I can't believe we are that far behind you. I don't believe my daffodils will bloom until well into April. The good thing is, the snow is melting... again.

    Martha ~ I know...you don't seem that much further north! It's snowing as I type this, though...tiny little flakes. We always get a warm week...the daffodils bloom...and then we are back to reality. ha.

    Lucky you...beautiful daffy's! Mine aren't anywhere near this photo. They always remind me of a choir singing out with mouths shaped like o's.

    A singing choir...oh, that's so cute! I'll think of that every time I look at them now! :)

    Betsy love...love...love... the daffodils, mine are only poking there heads up an inch or so above the ground. A great quote, I will share it with my oldest daughter. She has chosen to take an uncommon path out of college. You are very special, thanks for your insight.
