REFLECTIONS
I took my car into the garage. The guy said, "Your belt's knackered, mate." I said, "How do you know?" He replied, "Your trousers are on the floor."
Any fool can criticise, condemn, and complain, and most fools do.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
When you give up your own truth to win at someone else’s game everyone loses.
STEPHEN C. PAUL
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
JOHN WOODEN
Together with a culture of work, there must be a culture of leisure as gratification. To put it another way: people who work must take the time to relax, to be with their families, to enjoy themselves, read, listen to music, play a sport.
POPE FRANCIS
It takes great courage to faithfully follow what we know to be true.
SARA E. ANDERSON Faith doesn’t get you around trouble, it gets you through it.
Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.
CARL BARD
My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.
HENRY FORD
To me, wholeness is the key to aliveness. It is more than just physical vitality, it is radiance, coming from being at one with yourself and your experience. Life then flows through you.
RICHARD MOSS
If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.
Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
HENRY VAN DYKE
Let that day be lost to us on which we did not dance once.
FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE
The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.
DOLLY PARTON I have learned that sometimes ‘sorry’ is not enough. Sometimes you actually have to change.
CLAIRE LONDON
There is a criterion by which you can judge whether the thoughts you are thinking and the things you are doing are right for you. The criterion is: Have they brought you inner peace?
THE PEACE PILGRIM
If wrinkles must be written upon our brow, let them not be written upon the heart. The spirit should not grow old.
JAMES A. GARFIELD
The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.
MICHELANGELO
In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: It goes on.
ROBERT FROST
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.

Our 2022 diary is A5 in size and has a practical full week to view across a double page spread; each week includes either a prayer, quotation, insight into the artwork for the month or a detail of the beautiful image that will help you to see it in a different way.
