Life is not measured by how fast you move or how loud you speak, but by how honestly you live, how kindly you treat others, and how peacefully you learn to carry both success and struggle. Every day is a chance to grow wiser, love deeper, and become better than yesterday.
Be proud of the small things — getting up, trying again, smiling when you could’ve complained. You might not see it, but those quiet victories are shaping you into someone stronger, softer, and wiser. That’s what real growth looks like 👍
A good life is not measured by how much you own or how far you’ve gone, but by how deeply you’ve loved, how kindly you’ve lived and how gently you’ve touched the lives of others. True happiness comes not from what the world gives you, but from the peace you build within yourself.
“6 or 7 people from the Creggan estate died on Bloody Sunday. So for me to wear a poppy in support of the people who carried out those atrocities, I couldn’t. It frustrates me how people can’t see that. How there’s even a debate why I should wear the poppy.”

While in Ireland, Jane and I enjoyed the opportunity of visiting with Irish President Michael D. Higgins, one of the outstanding progressive voices in Europe.
