“It is never too late to be what you might have been.” George Eliot

I love the quote in the title.  George Eliot is a smart man - or is he?  She was born Mary Ann Evans on November 22, 1819.  George Eliot is the pen name of this English novelist, journalist, and translator.  She was influenced by Charlotte Bronte, Jane Austen, and Ralph Waldo Emerson.  Her most notable works are Silas Marner, and Middlemarch.

Happy birth month to George/Mary and Happy Veteran's Day to all.  I was outside for the service at the Missaukee County Veteran's Park on 11/11 at 11am.  Now that's a date and time I can remember!  And a cause to really get behind.  Thank you for your service.  Thank you for your service - it bears repeating.  If I could give our military (and their families) the pay, support, benefits, and credit they deserve, I would.  The most recent political email I received boasts the benefits given to our "public servers" in congress, etc. and turns my stomach.  Let's make them live like the rest of us, and give our heroes what they deserve.  Of course, the world is not run on common sense (bummer).

Similar to the title quote, I receive two wonderful quotes each day from "Simple Reminders" http://simplereminders.com/ They are sent to my email - and what could be easier than that!  I share many of them on my Facebook page, but feel free to subscribe with your personal email address to reap the benefits of daily inspiration!  I wish I could keep all of the great advice in  my head, but unfortunately I tend to be "out of sight, out of mind"  Who's with me on this?!

Even though I feel a little out of sorts, I am looking on the bright side.  Keep your chin up, count your blessings, and know that things will get better :)

Until next time...Michelle :)
