Some Great Quotes to Start Your Day

We now know that the true meaning of responsibility is response able or ability to respond. Whatever we may think, say, do, or feel - these are our responses for which we, and no one else, are responsible. This is easy to see but hard to live, for we have been taught to believe and think the opposite. So we don't consciously choose our response, we react instead, and then we blame others for our reaction. No wonder we feel imprisoned by others and our circumstances. The enlightened, on the other hand, have broken the spell, they see the illusion. They take full responsibility for their response abilities and as a consequence, they always hold their own destiny in their own hands. They are free spirits.

~ Bramha Kumaris, Mt. Abu


We come into this world crying while all around us are smiling. May
we so live that we go out of this world smiling while everybody
around us is weeping.
~ Persian proverb


Introversion brings empowerment of the self. Just as a tortoise withdraws from the external environment after its work is done, we too need to find time for ourselves. Amidst the activity of the day, we need to make time to look within and find the beauty that is hidden there. When we do this as a practice it brings a positive experience that empowers the self. We need to give ourselves a little.
~ Unknown


Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

The one who works to remove the sorrow of others is the one who is loved by all. When there is the one aim of helping to remove the sorrow of others, there will be nothing negative while dealing with others. There will also be no expectations from others. Working with the natural desire to bring benefit to as many as possible, enables one to continue to contribute to whatever extent possible. When we are able to have this one desire of helping others be more happy, We are able to make a contribution for others' happiness and progress. We then find that others naturally appreciate our selfless contribution and their good wishes help us feel light and experience progress.
~ Bramha Kumaris, Mt. Abu

Change The World

Everyone wants to change the way world is.
Everyone wants to see the world happy.

Grab The Opportunity

Opportunities - Small or Big. They come and go.
Some will be easy to take advantage of, some will be difficult.

those opportunities may never again be available.

Always grab the first opportunity.

Change

"The important thing is this: to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become."

Charles Du Bos takes full aim at the infamous "comfort zone", wherein we may not like where we Are, and we might even grumble about it, but we choose to hang on to what we know rather than take a leap forward into uncertainty. Yet it is only in letting go of that we have that we can grab hold of what we might become. Better. Kinder. More successful. Healthier. More self-confident. Whatever transformation we wish to make, we must first leave behind the old before becoming the new.

Self-Esteem

What is your value? Surprisingly, many of us place a low value on ourselves, and that devalues everything we do. That is called low self-esteem. And when we value ourselves lowly, others will value us lowly too - reinforcing our own low opinion of ourselves.

Make the decision today to place a high value on yourself. Yes you are worth it. When someone asks for help, make sure they appreciate the high value of your help. Don't be obnoxious, of course. Don't refuse to help. Just make sure they know that your help is valuable.

"Of course I will help you. I am busy today, but for you I will make the time." In so doing, they know you are giving them something of high value...and that you also value them to share such a valuable resource as your time and efforts with them.

Learn From Wrong

It is your right to be wrong, but you have no right to wrong someone else.

What does that mean?

When you are wrong, when you make a mistake, you have the wonderful chance to learn and to improve yourself. It is both your right and your responsibility to improve yourself.

It is, however, neither your right nor your responsibility to improve the person sitting next to you. That's her right and her responsibility.

So be wrong as often as you must, and learn from it. But don't wrong others; that's their job.

Try, Try & Get Success

I have always seen life for what it really is.
Ever since I was a child growing up, hard times are all I know.

I had to sit back and watch my mother work from sunset to sundown.
I had to sit back and watch my mother work herself to her grave.

Nothing ever came easy for her.
She always had a heart and kept a smile on her face.

Life is like a newborn baby struggling to come out of its mother's womb,
life is a struggle true enough, but after all the struggling you have done,

and after all the hell you have been through, there is success.
Life is nothing but a big struggle, but just keep the faith and focus on your goals.

Don't let life beat you or you will be walking around like zombies.
Keep on pushing, keep on trying, life can be whatever you make it to be.

But life can also be a bowl of cherries with whip cream and apple pie.
I say this again; life is what you make of it.

You can achieve or conquer anything it throws at you,
you can't quit or give up, you have got to keep on working,

look higher some way, some how you are going to make it.

Belt Of Truth

Ephesians 6:14 Stand firm, with the buckle of truth buckled around your waist

Today I had the misfortune to put on a belt that was too tight .Ouch! That is a terrible feeling! I had towear the belt, because it went with the outfit… so suffer through it I did! I let it out to the last notch, and it was tolerable as long as I stood up. If I sat down, however, something happened and it almost took my breath away.

Boy, was that ever uncomfortable. One part of the Armor of God is the belt of truth. Have you ever compromised it?? For instance- you're ready to have a day filled with truth and good news and then -- something happens. Perhaps a friend asks you a question and the truthful answer would hurt her. You may reason…a little slanting of this one answer won't hurt, Lord, will it?

Or, a situation may arise when telling the truth puts you in an awkward position. What do you do?Perhaps your child asks you a question about the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus or the tooth fairy. How can you answer these questions without compromising your promise to God about not lying? Each time you fudge a little or slant the exactness, your belt of truth gets a little tighter. You feel uneasy in your spirit, and know you have not spoken accurately. Telling one white lie and then another builds a foundation for lies to roll off your tongue more easily each time. It is not a good habit to succumb to.

I do not have the answer about how you should speak to your friends in truth, or discuss delicate issues with your children. I do know, however, that God calls us to speak the truth, and we are to do so each and every day. That is why He told us about this "belt of truth" that we should wear every day- it is part of His armor to combat Satan. I know I need this piece of Holy armor, and pray I will never stretch or bend the truth in such a manner that it cuts of my breath, the way my belt did on my outfit today.

Consider this....if you put on the belt of truth each day, would it be very long before you felt a "real pinching" from the words you have spoken? Half-truths fall off our tongue way too easily- at least for me. We must be on guard about this subject. Don't you agree?

- By Marion Smith

A Good Stretch

My strength is made perfect in weakness. — 2 Corinthians 12:9

Physical therapy is a painful necessity after knee-replacement surgery. Part of my routine involved my therapist pulling my knee back into a bent position and holding it taut. "Good stretch?" Mason would ask encouragingly. "No," I winced, "not that good!"

I soon learned, however, how important it is to stretch one's muscles and joints — sometimes causing discomfort — to gain full range of motion.

That wasn't the first time I've been "stretched" outside my comfort zone. God has sometimes urged me to share my faith with someone I didn't know very well, or to give an offering that was far beyond what I usually give or to confront someone about a situation.

Abraham's life illustrates the importance of faith when God asks us to move beyond our comfort zone. "By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called . . . He went out, not knowing where he was going" (Heb. 11:8).

While we stretch our spiritual muscles, we may feel discomfort. But God assures us, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness" (2 Cor. 12:9). Our adequacy — our sufficiency — is found in Him (3:5).

When you boldly step out in faith and obedience to God, you may be surprised at how a "good stretch" can strengthen your spiritual life!
~ Cindy Hess Kasper

To stretch our faith, to take the risk,

God says we will succeed

If we but ask Him for the strength
And grace that we will need.
~ D. De Haan

Best Motivational Quotes on Strength

Strength does not come from winning.
Your struggles develop your strengths.
When you go through hardships
and decide not to surrender,
that is strength."

~ Arnold Schwarzenegger

=========================================================

Don´t shy away from challenges ... facing them is the only way you can improve.
Look inside for your strength, then share that strength with others.
Always maintain your sense of humor, share it with others when things get too intense.
Make the play first, then decide if it was impossible.
Admit your mistakes. It shows character and inner strength.
Remember, loyalty is a two-way street.

~ Unknown

=========================================================

The method to finish a weakness is to be detached from it. When there is some weakness working within that has to be overcome, it is very essential for one to get detached from it, that means not to identify with the weakness. If there is an identification with the weakness, it is further strengthened and there is the inability to get rid of it. Since it is there in the consciousness, it is visible in the words and actions too. When we are free from the identification with the weakness, we are able to bring about a change very quickly. We find it very easy to stabilise ourselves in the awareness of our strength and allow that strength to be revealed in all our words and actions. There is no heaviness of the weakness nor is there the feeling of having to give up something, but transformation takes place very easily.

~ Bramha Kumaris, Mt, Abu

Unique Quotes on Faith

Faith in one's progress brings contentment. Even when the situation is not according to what is expected, there is contentment for the one who has faith in his own progress. Such a person will not just sit back waiting for things to change nor will he just curse his fate. Instead he'll do his best and use all his resources in bettering the situation. The understanding that all life's situations are a training for him, automatically keeping him content in all situations. There is naturally an experience of constant progress and a feeling of having gained something from all situations.

- Bramha Kumaris, Mt. Abu

===========================================================

Faith has the power to change even hopeless situations into hopeful ones. There is so much power in having faith that even in the most hopeless situations we can keep ourselves peaceful and happy. When we are able to maintain this stage we find that things change for the better too. Faith works to change the situation. Let us think of one situation that we are not happy with. Let us then accept the situation as it is without expecting it to change. This acceptance will give the faith that things are happening for the best. With this faith even the most hopeless situation will turn positive.

- Bramha Kumaris, Mt. Abu

===========================================================

Sweetness is the ability to see the good in all things. Deep within each and every situation is something good. It only takes a little patience to look within and find it. When we are able to understand the secret behind what is happening, it automatically brings sweetness in our lives. Thus we will be able to spread this to others too. Whatever happens throughout the day, we should be able to see the good in it. Even if we are not able to discover something good at that moment, we should maintain the faith that whatever happens is for the best.

Practice Makes You Perfect

Someone noted that their life and their bank both have something in common - they get out of them about as much as they put in. Which, as far as my bank is concerned, isn't much! But it means I can get a great deal of joy and satisfaction out of life if I am careful about what I put into living.

Gary Player for years was a great competitor in national and international golf tournaments. People constantly said to him, "I'd give anything if I could hit a golf ball like you."

Upon hearing that comment one day, Player responded impatiently: "No, you wouldn't. You'd do anything to hit a golf ball like me, if it were easy! Do your know what you have to do to hit a golf ball like me? You've got to get up at 5:00 every morning, go out to the golf course, and hit a thousand golf balls! Your hands start bleeding, and you walk to the clubhouse and wash the blood off your hands, slap a bandage on it, and go out and hit another thousand golf balls! That is what it takes to hit a golf ball like me!"

His goal was to be at the top of his sport. That lofty dream requires practice, practice and more practice. If your desire, on the other hand, is to excel at living - to give and receive love, to experience joy and to develop fulfilling relationships - then how much of you will you put into your dream? These things, too, are possible with practice.

Moral :

Do you actually practice love, even when you don't feel like it?
Do you practice finding joy even when you're unhappy?
Do you work at difficult relationships?

It is not always easy, but the payoff is worth it!

Do All the Good You Can

Someone advised, "If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague." But kindness and goodness extend far beyond how we talk about each other. The person who dares to be good -- and DO good -- may have to find the heart to stand up and be counted.

Not too long into the American Civil War the Union finally won a victory at Antietam. President Lincoln used the occasion to produce a proclamation to free American slaves. He called his cabinet together and laid the document before them. He had been shaking the hands of well-wishers all morning and his arm and hand were stiff. He rested his arm and spoke to Secretary of State William Seward.

"If my name ever goes into history, it will be for this act, and my whole soul is in it. If my hand trembles when I sign the Proclamation, all who examine the document hereafter will say, 'He hesitated.'"

Then he picked up a pen and signed "Abraham Lincoln" in bold writing. That signature, coupled with a later Union victory, changed the course of history forever. American slaves were finally freed.

It's not always about being nice. It's about doing the right thing. And it was never put better by anyone than by eighteenth century church reformer John Wesley:

But made up of simple smiles and kind words and kind acts-

Our Perception

It's our perception,
yes our view
that describes
to me and you.

The way we see it
within our way
will determine
our day to day.

It's our perception
that makes or breaks
the days successes
or days mistakes.

It's our perception
within our mind
that sometimes paints
the views we find.

So start trying
to perceive the view
better than ever
and it might come true.

Special Quotes on Beauty

Goodness is a special kind of truth and beauty.
It is truth and beauty in human behavior.
~ H. A. Overstreet


Beauty, truth, friendship, love, creation – these are the
great values of life. We can’t prove them, or explain them,
yet they are the most stable things in our lives.
~ Jesse Herman Holmes

To appreciate variety is to harmonise. When there is recognition that each human being is unique with his own unique set of capabilities, there is the ability to respect him for what he is. Then all attempts are made to harmonise with him instead of trying to make him just like oneself. So energy is channelised in the right direction and one becomes an inspiration for others too. To appreciate variety means to see the beauty and specialities of each and every individual. It means to appreciate the natural positive qualities in everyone and learn to blend our own qualities with theirs. This gives us the satisfaction of the beauty of relationships, because there are no expectations and no disappointments.
~ Bramha Kumaris, Mt. Abu

Beautiful things are secured with most difficulty.
~ Proverb, (Latin)


Beauty comes with a price, though it turns heads without lifting a finger.
~ Rosie Cash


The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears with composure one heavy mischance after another, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic temper.
~ Aristotle

To have positive elevated thoughts for the self is to be a well-wisher. To have positive thoughts for the self is to become a well-wisher. A well wisher means the one who fills hope in the one who is without hope. Such a person is able to fill even weak ones with his own treasures of pure thoughts and helps them move forward. When we are constantly busy with good thoughts for our own self-progress, then we automatically have good wishes for others too. We enjoy the beauty of each moment and help others too to do that. We are able to give the leg of support to the lame and become instrumental in others' progress.
~ Bramha Kumaris, Mt. Abu

If You Think You Can

If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't;
If you want to win but think you can't,
It's almost a cinch you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost;
For out of the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in a state of mind.

Life's battles don't always go
to the stronger and faster man,
But sooner or later the man who wins
It the man who thinks he can.

Beautiful Inspiring Quotes

Mistakes are a fact of life.
It is the response to error that counts.
~ Nikki Giovanni


The mind has exactly the same power as the hands
-- not merely to grasp the world, but to change it.
~ Colin Wilson


Artistic creativity is a whirlpool of imagination
that swirls in the depths of the mind.
~ Robert Toth


One should count each day a separate life.
~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca


Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
~ Sir Winston Churchill

The key to responsibility is self-respect. When anything goes wrong, an individual is not willing to take the responsibility for his own choice. Instead it becomes very convenient for him to blame others for the mistake. Lack of self-respect abstains one to take the responsibility for the choice that he has made. So his words and actions reflect excuses and justifications. When we have self-respect and are able to maintain our inner positive consciousness, we are able to continue having this consciousness wherever we are, and are able to feel the ease of accepting the consequences of our actions. We are able to learn from everything that happens in our life, having taken the responsibility of our actions.
~ Bramha Kumaris, Mt. Abu

Life Without Challenge

A life without challenge would be like
going to school without lessons to learn.

Challenges come not to depress or get you down,
but to master and to grow and to unfold your abilities.

Motivational Sentences

You are one of a kind

Move away from the need to compare yourself to others.

Instead, put your time and energy into making the most of the unique and
valuable knowledge, skills and resources that you do have available to you.


Don't allow your energy to be drained away by worrying about
what others will think. Simply be your authentic best, and keep in mind that
what anyone else thinks about you is not your concern.


It's great when you can learn from others, find joy in being with others,
and cooperate with others to achieve mutually beneficial results. Just
don't allow your life to become bogged down by constantly comparing its

reality, the more satisfying and rewarding life will be.

Love is like magic
And it always will be.
For love still remains
Life's sweet mystery!

That are wondrous and strange
And there's nothing in life
That love cannot change!

The most commonplace
Into beauty and splendor
And sweetness and grace

Love is unselfish,
Understanding and kind,
For it sees with it's heart
And not with it's mind!

Love is the answer
That everyone seeks....
Love is the language,
That every heart speaks.

Love can't be bought,
It is priceless and free,
Love, like pure magic,
Is life's sweet mystery!

Train Of Life

Some folks ride the train of life
Looking out the rear,
Watching miles of life roll by,
And marking every year.

They sit in sad remembrance,
Of wasted days gone by,
And curse their life for what it was,
And hang their head and cry.

But I don’t concern myself with that,
I took a different vent,
I look forward to what life holds,
And not what has been spent.

So strap me to the engine,
As securely as I can be,
I want to be out on the front,
To see what I can see.

I want to feel the winds of change,
Blowing in my face,
I want to see what life unfolds,
As I move from place to place.

I want to see what’s coming up,
Not looking at the past,
Life’s too short for yesterdays,
It moves along too fast.

So if the ride gets bumpy,
While you are looking back,
Go up front, and you may find,
Your life has jumped the track.

It’s all right to remember,
That’s part of history,
But up front’s where it’s happening,
There’s so much mystery.

The enjoyment of living,
Is not where we have been,
It’s looking ever forward,
To another year and ten.

It’s searching all the byways,
Never should you refrain,
For if you want to live your life,
You gotta drive the train.

Dreams

Dreams are a big part of our Lives
and You must do whatever it takes
to make them a Reality;
by the plans you make,
the course you take,
and the things you do.

Don't dwell on past mistakes.
Leave yesterday behind,
along with all it's problems,
worries and doubts.

Realize you can't change the past,
but you can start a new tomorrow.
Don't try to do everything at once;
take one step at a time,

Don't ever be afraid to try the Impossible
no matter what others may think.
Remember you are Unique
in your own special way.

Don't ever stop Dreaming!
Don't ever stop wanting what's right for you!

To dream anything that you want to dream,
that is the beauty of the human mind.

To do anything that you want to do,
that is the strength of the human will.

To trust yourself, to test your limits,
that is the courage to succeed."

Heart Touching Quotes

God picked up a flower, dipped it in dew
lovingly touched it, which turned into you
he gifted it to me & said this friend is for you.
==========================================

I have realized that
Words had hurt me more than
The wounds I had suffered in life
==========================================

I have realized that
Tears convey more than
What words can ever say
==========================================

No person deserves your tears,
and who deserves them
won't make you cry.
==========================================

Your Smile and laugh just warms my heart
I felt this feeling from the start

This warmth I want to feel again
and I will make you happy anyway I can

So I hope this note I am sending your way
will make you smile and have a happy day.

Positive Thoughts

WHAT YOU DID

The world will provide you with stones everyday.

What you build out of it, is your choice...
Wall, Road or a Bridge...
You may even choose to do nothing.

At the end, world will know you by what you did with it.


SEASONS OF LIFE

Life at any time can become difficult.
Life at any time can become easy.

Good or Bad, they are seasons of life.
It all depends upon, how you take on life and adjust to these seasons.


LEADING YOU TO LIGHT

The road will be dark; and you might not know the way,
Yet, with the goal in sight; be certain you won't stray.
It will give you all the strength; and will take you through.

Keep your eyes upon the goal, keep it always in your sight.
It will help you don the crooked road, and lead you to the light.


YOU HAVE EVERYTHING

If you look at what you do not have in life;
You don't have anything.

If you look at what you have in life;
You have everything.


DEVOTE YOURSELF

So many people walk around with a meaningless life.
They seem half-sleep, even when they're busy
doing things they think are important.
This is because they're chasing the wrong things.

The way you get meaning into your life
is to devote yourself to loving others,
devote yourself to your community around you,
and devote yourself to creating something
that gives you purpose and meaning.

Take the High Road

Finally, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. And the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:8-9

The guide book said it was an easy hike around the lake, where the flat path hugged the water's edge. It was going to take longer this day, because I had to stop every few feet, it seemed, for another breathtaking view in the late afternoon light.

Rounding a bend, the path began to lean upward. Within minutes the fork in the road became visible.

The low road? The known path, The easy one. The high road? The unknown path. The intrigue and mystery of what's out there.

I found myself whistling an old ballad, "Oh! ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low road, and I'll be in Scotland afore ye". Decisions, decisions, hmmmm……..

I thought about forks in the road, spiritually-speaking. The Bible advises us to set our thoughts on things above, not below. I believe we need to set our goals high, rather than low; be challenged.

Actually, we always have a choice. My way, God's way. Seek the face of God, who gives us strength for the journey. Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. (1 Chron 16:11)

The high road, God's way, always the better path. That is good news.

- Sally I. Kennedy

Dream

A dream is a seed
The seed of a tree
A tree full of life
And the things you can be
Your dreams are the windows
Through which you can see
A hint of your future
And the things you will be
Each night when you sleep
You're feeding the seed
The seed of the tree
Of who you will be...

Beautiful Thoughts.....

A person can make you feel high,
A person can make you feel low.
But only you can decide,
Which way you want to go.

A person can hurt you mentally,
A person can hurt you physically.
But only you can place,
A limit on your abilities.

A person can cause drama,
A person can cause a situation.
But only you can create,
Your own reputation.

A person can make you laugh,
A person can make you cry.
But only you can make,
Decisions for your life.

I guess what I'm trying to say,
That when you're living day to day.
Don't live by what people do,
But live by what you know is true

A True Smile

A smile shouldn't be taken lightly
Some smile all the time, politely
One thing for sure.

A true smile is joy so pure
With a smile, joy is released from the soul
A process initiated at birth to console.

Every smile makes a soul stronger than before
Beware, do not let joy be ignored
If the joy is not let out with a true smile.

It will build up, for awhile
But after a bit it will spoil slow
Diminishing until it becomes pure sorrow.

Though sorrow is needed for a soul maturing
Pure sorrow may outlast a soul most enduring
When this happens a soul will become stronger.

Once decided it wants sorrow no longer
While smiling keep this in thought
And give all, this life lesson to be taught

Let nothing hold you back from
exploring your wildest fantasies,
wishes, and aspirations.

Don't be afraid to dream big
and to follow your dreams
wherever they may lead you.
Open your eyes to their beauty;
open your mind to their magic;
open your heart to their possibilities.

Dare to dream.
Whether they are in color
or in black and white,
whether they are big or small,
easily attainable or almost impossible,
look to your dreams,
and make them become reality.
Wishes and hopes are nothing
until you take the first step
towards making them something!

Dare to dream,
Because only by dreaming,
will you ever discover
who you are, what you want,
and what you can do.
Don't be afraid to take risks,
to become involved,
to make commitment.

Do whatever it takes to make
your dreams come true.
Always believe in miracles,
and always believe in you!

Love spreads positivity. The one who is loving is not limited by circumstances and his love is not restricted only to certain people. On the other hand, it is revealed in each and every act thus colouring everything and every relationship with the beauty of that love. To be loving is to be constantly a giver. It also means to forgive others easily and help them to move forward. When we are loving constantly, I are able to experience the joy of life. We are able to exchange the gifts of pure feelings and find our life enriched with them. We are able to enjoy the beauty of relationships without having to feel the bondage due to expectations. Each moment of our life is filled with beauty and joy.

This Is Life!

When there is no friend,
When life is on the dead end,
When world is not a paradise,
When your confidence dies,
Tell yourself - Go on, THIS IS LIFE!

When things don't go right,
When there is no ray of light,
And its too hard to survive,
Tell yourself - Go on, THIS IS LIFE!

When there is competition to face,
When you are lagging behind in the race,
When you've lost faith in God,
When you're betrayed by a fraud,
Tell yourself - Go on, THIS IS LIFE!

When others don't respect you,
When you're not amongst the admirable few,
When for a question, you can't find a solution,
When all you're sure about, is confusion,
Tell yourself - Go on, THIS IS LIFE!

When your destination is miles apart,
When you don't know where to start,
When all you see around is pain,
When your hardwork is in vain,
Tell yourself - Go on, THIS IS LIFE!

Even though all this happens
just have faith in self & face the life with smile,
Things will surely change one day
Because as said "THIS IS LIFE ... !

Real Vision

My friend Michelle is blind, but you'd never know it. She makes such good use of her other senses, including her "sixth sense" of intuition, that she rarely gives the impression she's missed anything.

Michelle parents her children pretty much like the rest of us, except that she doesn't sweat the small stuff. Her daughter, Sarah, six, and her son, Aaron, nine, really benefit from Michelle's relaxed attitude.

Once, Michelle told me that it sometimes bothered her that her children probably weren't dressed according to her taste. You see, she relies on her husband and her friends to choose clothes for them. But since friends and Daddy don't presume to know what the kids like, Sarah and Aaron often get to pick out their own clothes. But Michelle avoids any battles. As long as the clothes are clean and weather-appropriate, she doesn't make it an issue. And she trusts that, at six and nine, her children can tell if they are too hot or too cold.

Another area where Michelle rarely argues with her kids is in keeping the house clean. It isn't that Michelle doesn't know when there's a mess. She knows it's time to clean when she steps on crumbs or toys that have been left out. But in Michelle's house, the kids have learned to put their things away because it wouldn't just annoy their mother to have a mess, it could be dangerous for her. Indeed, Michelle moves around her house so fast that often guests don't realize she's blind.

I realized this the first time my six-year-old, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very excited about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was especially excited about her finger-painting project.

"Mom, guess what?" said Kayla, all smiles. "I learned how to mix colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! Isn't that neat? And Michelle painted with us. She said she liked the way the paint feelssquishing through her fingers."

Something about my child's excitement caught my attention, and I realized that I had never finger-painted with Kayla. I didn't like the mess. As a result, my child had learned about color from a blind friend. The irony made me sit down and take a look at my child and at myself.

Then Kayla said, "Michelle told me my picture showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment. She really saw what I was doing!" Kayla said she had never felt how good finger paints felt until Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper. That's when I realized Kayla didn't know that Michelle was blind. It had just never come up in conversation.

When I told her, she was quiet for a moment. At first, she didn't believe me. "But Mommy, Michelle understood exactly what was in my picture!" Kayla insisted. And I knew my child was right because Michelle had listened to Kayla describe her artwork. Michelle had also heard Kayla's pride in her work, her wonder at her discovery of the way colors blend, and her delight in the texture of the medium.

We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, "You know, Mommy, Michelle really did 'see' my picture. She just used my eyes."

I've never heard anyone refer to Michelle as handicapped. She isn't. Hers is a special type of "vision" that all mothers could use.
