Tara 07-09-03, 01:18 PM Our 500th Member signed up yesterday 7/8/03!!! joanrdtobe 07-09-03, 02:58 PM YAY.....COOL......Congrats to FORUMS:) leemhogan 07-09-03, 03:25 PM Joan: Those are beautiful. Thank you. Could you restate those words as part of your story being a person with ADD or knowing a person who has ADD or ADHD? I'd love to read your personal feelings on those powerful thoughts. Thanks. Lee joanrdtobe 07-09-03, 03:29 PM Lee: Are you talking about my "YAY....COOL" OR are you talking about my quotes as in "it is your attitude....etc...." Not sure I understand....hmmm....:) Dannydorm 07-09-03, 03:50 PM joan-am quite sure lee's talking of your quotes which are always great.:) joanrdtobe 07-09-03, 06:45 PM Oh okay Lee...Well first of all, you must understand, in general, I AM A QUOTE FANATIC!!:) It originated from my grandmother on my father's side who was also a quote fanatic. She collected them for many many years and I actually inherited -- and have -- her physical quote collection....and I also collect my own. And so every week or so I post new ones under my signature here....but only ones I like and relate to. And the ones I like often have nothing to do with ADD...but more to do with life and living....and often the ones I like SOUND good rather than have deep meaning, but not always. So it depends. And others have lots to do with ADD. By the way, I do have ADD. My story is I am a person who has lived with ADD as far back as I can remember....and I have always LOVED philosophy..which is why I think I have gravitated toward quotations....So you want my feelings on these particular quotes? Okay...Okay, the first one....I believe is true...attitude is EVERYTHING...more important than capability....if I believe I can do something...I can do it....The second -- absolutely - is true...I absolutely can wreck my present, my TODAY, by worrying about my future....and the next one....life is not measured by number of breaths...(who counts them anyway?)...but by moments which really says life is about quality, not quantity.....and the last one says do what you can with what you have...which really says -- do your best.....so there ya have it Lee...thanks for asking....different quotes come up every week or so....:D Garry 07-10-03, 12:48 AM Yes joan when I come home from the road and I see a post by you I ussually check your quotes first then read your post The are allways great and uplifting joanrdtobe 07-10-03, 02:11 PM Thanks:) |
