Walk slowly through the crowd and take time to smell the roses. These words were given to me by a very successful wise 85 year old over 10 years ago it has helped me to slow down, take time out, notice people and to remember to speak with staff instead of being too focussed on tasks for the day. They still continue to help me now in my retirement. A quote by Larry Combs also helped me "Always look up, within and beyond. Have a great Sunday! Pete

"One second at a time, one moment at a time, one minute at a time, one hour at a time, one day at a time" because we cannot live any faster than that, this little saying is my coping mechanism when I am overwhelmed or depressed, it has helped me back from some very dark places.
Me too. Sometimes this saying was the only thing I that one save me but kept me going through the day. 🤗

This saying doesn't sound all that good but I have said it more times than I can count.
"No my monkey not my circus."
Because of what I have been through in my life I see people I could help but I have to stop myself as some will use you until nothing is left.
