For the past few years, I am given an annual flip calendar for that particular year from our Australian daughter, Karen Feeley and her family. The cover sports art work from her older son Tom; today is his tenth birthday. Each week of the 2016 calendar has a 'saying' by some known person.

So in honor of Tom and his day, here are a portion of them:

"The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer someone else up."

~ Mark Twain

"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before beginning to improve the world."

~ Anne Frank

"All kids need is a little help, a little hope, and somebody who believes in them."

~ Earvin (Magic) Johnson

"Whether you think you can or think you can't, you are right."

"Life is like riding a bicycle:  to keep your balance you must keep moving."
