Excerpt from "Inspiration for a Lifetime: Words of Wisdom, Delight, and Possibility"

Introduction

The quotations in this book are sometimes wise, sometimes witty, but they are always inspirational.

When they are wise, they can lend a hand in helping you overcome your tough times. And when they are witty, they will give you a different view of your solemn situation—and nothing, perhaps, gives a better perspective than a good laugh.

In either case, pick this book up when you or someone you know needs some uplifting encouragement. One reader, for example, told me that each day she emailed a quote from the book to her ailing mother. She said it not only cheered her mother up but selecting them helped her too.

The quotations in this book focus on trying times, such as “aging,” “diet and exercise,” “raising kids,” etc. They were designed to be used in a variety of ways:

· Pick up the book, randomly open to a quote, and let those words be your guiding thought for the day or the week.

· Use these quotes as you would any reference book—in speeches, on bulletin boards, in newsletters, in your emails, etc.

· Read a section at a time and savor its wit and wisdom.

However you use these wonderful words, my hope is that the inspiring quotations in this book will provide you with a lesson or a laugh for not only the moment, but for a lifetime.
