One of my all time favorites!!
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

Mutterings for a Monday
Storms make oaks take deeper root.
George Herbert (1593 - 1633)
Sort of a corollary to: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger...
Have a great week!

Mutterings for a rainy Monday...
Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.
Mark Twain
I really like Mark Twain. He is pithy and as American as you can get. Pretty wise too, I think.

Some more thoughts for the new year...

"...you can only deal with the present moment. Everything else is a memory, a hope or a fear."
It works for me!
