"Never Bend Your Head. Always Hold It High. Look The World Straight In The Face" By Helen Keller

I usually do not read my horoscope but every now and again I will peek. Seems like those times there is something I can use. This is the first time that my horoscope had a quote. Today it was the one I will use.

Someone I loved once gave me
a box full of darkness.

It took me years to understand
that this, too, was a gift.

“Have you surrendered to despair because of your past or the inevitable situations in your life? Stop it! The greatest days of your life are before you. The past is over. Stop living life looking in the rear view mirror. Look forward. Press on! The best is yet to be, God never consults your past to determine your future.”–Hagee
