"There is always something to do. There are hungry people to feed, naked people to clothe, sick people to comfort and make well. And while I don't expect you to save the world, I do think it is not asking too much for you to love those with whom you sleep, share the happiness of those you call friend, engage those among you who are visionary, and remove from your life those who offer you depression, despair and disrespect."Remove from your life all that makes you unhappy. What have you got to lose?

Remove whatever makes you unhappy
About 20 years ago, I stumbled upon the quote below by poet Nikki Giovanni. For years I carried it around in my wallet as kind of a mantra. But Melodie's post today over on Short Girl's Low Carb about being ready for change made me think of it. I hope after all this time that I remember it correctly... this is from memory...
