April 29, 2013 "Our attitudes are the emissions of thoughts we possess, thoughts that we trained into us with the tool of fear.

"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives." ~Henry David Thoreau~ All I will say to this truth is Amen! Happy thankful Thursday! Love ya, Kimee
